Ha ha - it just gets better and better.
Racial separatism and fueling police hatred for everyone!!
Let's create an ethnostate!!
The NFL reportedly plans to play a song titled, Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing, also known as the Black National Anthem, prior to every season opening game this year.
The song, according to a source to ESPN, will be played prior to the Star-Spangled-Banner.
According to ESPN:
Early last month, commissioner Roger Goodell in a video admitted that the league had erred in how it handled peaceful NFL player protests of police brutality and systemic oppression. Goodell condemned racism and affirmed that Black lives matter, pledging his allegiance to the players in the battle for equal justice under the law.
Also in June, the league revealed plans to increase its social justice footprint by pledging to donate $250 million over a 10-year period.
The league hopes its efforts demonstrate ‘a genuine commitment to the public, players and coaches and that player voices continue to be heard,’ the source wrote in a text message. ‘This is key to educating fans, and becoming a prominent voice in the fight to end racism.’
The NFL is also reportedly considering other social justice measures, such as listing the names of victims of alleged police brutality on team uniforms.
This is just going to cause a massive shirt storm when players stand for this song but kneel for the Star Spangled Banner
Won't someone think of the shirts.

Well she's not alone in not having met him. I haven't either.
Who is this person, and who is she purporting to represent?

And if the question of whether Churchill’s statue should remain is put to the community, as she says, and comes back overwhelmingly as “Yes”, will she and her friends accept that and move on?
-
She realizes he's dead, right? The present tense is throwing me off.
It's possible to be personally a racist yet still civically a hero. It's not a stretch to say that if Hitler had prevailed, the plight of POC, LGBT, Jews, Catholics, the disabled, and many others across Europe would have been much worse in the past 75 years.

@photo-fox
This is worth a watch. Unsurprisingly this movement led by extremists driven by resentment who want to tear down society aren't exactly giving a fair reading of history. The sick part is place like the BBC who are more than capable to push back are unwilling. -
A good lesson on how to turn Democrat contributers into Republican voters. This is outside the McCloskey residence today (Couple that pulled weapons on the peaceful protesters that pulled a gate down to get on to private property and threaten to burn their house down)

They have 'Right To Roam' laws there.

This is going to end well.

Its hard to give a damn about this death. Her brain was poisoned by social justice ideology, they blocked a motorway to spread their message and someone drove right through them. Despite the early reporting of a'far right attack' it turns out the driver was black.

Interesting that the ethnicity of the driver wasn't reported.
And the first thing the protesters do? Call the cops

Reminded me of the Ku Klux Klan.
