Quote:Was probably more effective at getting the message out than kneeling for the anthem

Yeah actually the kneeling was very effective and we got the added bonus of pissing you knobs off .

Why?

BTW, you convinced me that raising awareness is important. After all, you would be aware of this if not for me nercoposting it.

I'm raising awareness all day. Good job captian awesome. I never knew fighting for racial justice could be so easy. I'm going to raise some more awareness today. My favorite things about raising awareness:

It's easy, I don't even have to get off my phone
It's free
It takes no risk
Nobody asks for you to prove results
If anybody criticizes you, you can throw a temper tantrum and call them names.

I'm all in favor of kneeling NFL protests. They can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned. Randy Moss too.

Take a moment to think about what you are criticizing me for. I'm saying that if you want to fight for racial justice, you actually have to do something. Something that's brave or costs money. Randy Moss did neither of those things. The argument that a multimillionaire might have inspired someone else to spend money to help is a pretty weak one.

So if you attack that, you are basically saying 'nah uh, we can do nothing and help just as much"

And then to imply I'm somehow against racial justice makes absolutely no sense.

Also, as par for the course, nobody reads articles that are linked here.

Last i checked i was criticizing Road not you

Last i checked spreading awareness and drawing attention was doing something 

Quote: Something that's brave or costs money.

That should be the criteria why ?

Quote: Randy Moss did neither of those things. 

Did that tie grow on a tree and again you have yet to justify this criteria 

Quote:The argument that a multimillionaire might have inspired someone else to spend money to help is a pretty weak one.

No your objection to it is a weak one 

Quote:So if you attack that, you are basically saying 'nah uh, we can do nothing and help just as much"

Accept i was not even addressing you and again that was not nothing if it were nothing no one would have even reported it 

Quote:And then to imply I'm somehow against racial justice makes absolutely no sense. 

Where in the name Edward Tapes left ball sack did i say any such thing ?

I did and it was a good gesture.

We read. Your other thread is a clear sign of why you carry zero credibility here.

Really, you think that all those people boycotting the NFL, and getting upset, are because of the message they where trying to send.    I don't see anyone talking about over aggressive and over bearing cops from the kneeling.   They talk about a bunch of rich boys who haven't got a clue, disrespecting the flag and the country (and what it stands for).   Now if the goal was to piss a bunch of people off, then you can consider that a success.   If it was to call attention to abusive cops, I think they could do better. 

Setting out a season, and not collecting a pay check might bring people to notice (no for Kapernick though)  Either that, or they would find out they are replaceable.   Or you could take out television ads promoting the message.   There are a number of ways, that could be more effective.

Whatever Road

We're talking about them right here, right now.  This thread wouldn't have existed without first Colin Kaepernick and now Randy Moss.

And we represent a relatively tiny little eddy in the huge river of life that is the Internet.

And I see very little about the issue, or better yet, what to do about it. It doesn’t seem to be generating the supposed desired conversations.

Hmmmm. . . I'm having deja vu for some reason.

Good for him.

If you don't bring up awareness of a problem it will never be recognised and dealt with.
