NebraskaShellback

Saturday at Memorial in Lincoln

 

I find it interesting the people who have the attitude that these players should....Play the game and leave their sociopolitical stuff at home. You obviously didn't listen to MRI's statement. If not...here is a small quote from it.

 

People assume this is just internet talk but I can tell you from my own experience at this very institution, at various other college campuses within the past four years that racism is still a problem that must be addressed. I can’t tell you the numerous amount of times I’ve heard the “n-word” being shouted at my teammates and I from opposing fans behind our bench.

 

 

I personally find this absolutely disgusting and I don't have a problem with a player protesting racism at a sporting event when sometimes they have to put up with this at that or similar events. If people want them to leave their sociopolitical attitudes at home, maybe the fans should be the ones that start that movement.

Could it be a African American person shouting that? or can he confirm it was a white person?

 

I am asking again was it an African American (s) shouting this or white people?

Go BiG Red!!

If a mistake is made, do not dwell on it, go on. I think they done a good job of this.

Regular season is close to the halfway mark, going by fast. I will take that 15th spot right now.

Mike is not a Mr. Roger type.

Go Big Red!

ignore the wisconsin fans in the background

Whiteclay sells alcohol to the members of the Sioux that is just inside Nebraska lines across from the res. White owners will not shut down operation or quit selling to the natives. Tribe leaders have tried to convince lawmakers to get the store owners to not sell beer or liquor but go up against the white man law. Their are other issues I think the Sioux Nation can tell better than I can.

Doing this, of course, would violate the civil rights act; one cannot refuse service based on race or ethnicity.

 

That is correct. The leaders are trying to help their own trapped in that bottle and losing some along the way (passing on).

Do they hold them at gun point and tell them to drink it?

No. It is a disease, I lived through it with my dad till the day he died. I do understand where they are coming from on this issue.

The way I would protest, hang the American flag upside down. Military sees this as help but in the civilian world distress.

That was towards shellback. You don't really "got" someone if they make a true claim, you say "nope that's not true", they prove it, then you say "nah that's not true", then they clarify again and then you say, "lol gotcha! good one me i knew that all along"

I think I said I was kidding. Fact check that

Go BIG Red

 

 

 

Is this at me?

 

 

Likely at me.

 

OH

Is this at me?

 

My main argument is about the fact that protesting in a way that is disrespectful to a ton of people should not be the way to go.

 

The main argument of many who disagree with you is, name a single way to protest in a way that isn't disrespectful to a ton of people? That is part of the very nature and point of why people protest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is not a protected speech burning a flag.

 

 

 

Yes it is.

 

It is an act , not a speech - Wog

 

 

 

It's an act covered under the 1st Amendment.

 

 

 

Justice William Brennan wrote for a five-justice majority in holding that the defendant Gregory Lee Johnson's act of flag burning was protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

I know just got ya.................................LOL Have a good night Landlord.

 

 

 

 

Supporting people burning the American flag in protest? Please clairfy, Blitz!

 

 

It's their right to do so as guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. When I took an oath for service it was to defend the constitution of the United States. That means every veteran has a moral obligation to see protests as PROTECTED SPEECH that we should DEFEND.

I do not need to be education on the oath, I lived it myself. It is not a protected speech burning a flag.

It's protected...by the constitution. If you feel you should defend the constitution, you have to defend people's rights to burn that flag man. Sorry, it's black and white...just like obeying an order from an officer or superior...you don't have to like it, but you have to do it.

You asked him to clarify it, then when he did you told him not to educate you. Apparently he can't win.

 

He sitting there giving me F*cking links, I know the oath, he needs to explain why burn the flag?

 

 

 

Like I said before, he explained himself perfectly clearly. He believes in peoples' right to burn the flag. He's explained why he feels that way. Furthermore it has been explained that it's legal in the U.S.

 

Now you're just nagging. You also left out the "right" part to make it sound like he supported burning the flag, which is not true.

 

LOL having fun with ya
