‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’: Black national anthem will be performed at Super Bowl LV

Racism is wrong no matter who does it or for what reason.

IMO, “Woke” is just the latest generation’s word for Civil Rights, the phrase most people of my generation are familiar with from the 1960s.

Still, here we are, almost 60 years after MLK’s “I have a dream” speech and there’s still racial hatred, bias and inequality in America. It’s sad and works against American ideals.

This is the problem. For a large segment of society, this IS American ideals.

trump wakened the sleeping beast, and the Nazis feel empowered to speak out publicly now.

With his blessing

There’s more to the problem than “Blame Whitey” as shown by the fact of five African-American cops beating an African-American to death in full view of the world.

These two posts are at odds with each other
 
Notice the players one of these on the back of helmet :)

The six messages players can choose from as part of the helmet decal program are: “End Racism,” “Stop Hate,” “It Takes All of Us,” “Black Lives Matter,” “Inspire Change” and “Say Their Stories.”

Our nation can’t end racism by promoting racism. One of my favorite MLK quotes is “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness.”

A major loss in our nation seen over the past 60 years is a lack of tolerance. A lack of respect for our fellow Americans. A desire to take for ourselves at the loss of another American. It’s not a Zero Sum game, but too many people are treating it that way.

Although the quote is based on the Bible, Dr. King amplified every well. Here is the fuller quote:
https://web.archive.org/web/20100307174816/http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=4812
"Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love...Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding."

A related speech:
https://centeronconscience.org/martin-luther-king-jr/
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

I'm still working on an answer. I believe someone else uses his account off and on. Otherwise, he posts while drunk or stoned, and can't seem to remember what he thinks.

Or it's as simple as a personality disorder, which makes the most sense. When he's manic, he'll attack anyone for no apparent reason. Even those that he tends to agree with.

I tend to put people on ignore if they offer nothing of substance.

He actively seeks the morons out in order to argue. I don't have that kind of time to waste.

Whether it's feeding his need to argue, or simply debunking the lies from the racist/misogynist/ homophobic assholes, I don't waste my time on any of it.

We all have different experiences in real life. I think it was around 2016 when I first starting hearing the word woke. Friends would use it when posting on Facebook ending posts with #staywoke. My progressive Pastor regularly talked about (and still does) being a woke church. LeBron James, for example, has one of the largest followings on social media many times would end tweets with #staywoke. It was something I heard in many different places. So when I heard people on JPP in like 2020 say they have never heard the term woke until right wingers used it on here my initial reaction was what kind of bubble do you live in? But offering grace, it's understandable people (especially older ones) could be unfamiliar.

The beauty of Woke Racism (supposedly woke people being racist among other things) is its coming from a liberal. If he were a right-winger it would probably be easier to write off or ignore what he says, but he's not. So if you want to read more insight into why we have the push back we do (even from liberals) it's a great read.

I post here so I'm included in this but JPP is a cesspool. It's a sociology study showing people can grow old and still act like they are in high school. So take everything here with large grains of salt.

I don't believe that only old people weren't familiar with "woke." You live in the most liberal city in the US where a lot of cultural and social movements start, along with the terminology they use. It takes time for this to make its way across the country; do you think most of the flyover states learned about "woke" when you did?

I didn't know LeBron James used the term "woke" regularly because I don't follow most sports figures. All I know is that he runs a family charity that he refers to as The James Gang, because I've seen the HGTV shows where the Gang helps to renovate houses in Ohio for needy families. So you and I can have different experiences about who knows "woke" and when they knew it. I know LeBron didn't use the word in the Rehab Addict shows where he was doing his charity work.

I agree with your last paragraph and it's sad, because that's not how JPP was when I started here. It wasn't perfect but we had some fun in the midst of the arguing, like playing Werewolf and having the football pool. Also the one-on-one debates that were moderated and a winner picked. The good old days.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States.


That covers all humans, blacks whites Asian Indians Hispanics, that are US citizens.





I'll tell you what I think....


The mere fact that the Black national anthem was played at such a major event as the Superbow is proof that America is collapsing rapidly (by America, I mean the Constitutional liberal/democratic republic) envisaged by the Founders.

In the end it will be (1) the fact that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated before he could deport the liberated Black slaves from America; and (2) the "Hart-Cellar Immigration Act of 1965 (ratified by Lyndon Johnson who was a socialist fool). The Hart-Cellar Act greatly relaxed immigration controls and over time flooded America with immigrants from 3rd-World coloured races, for example, Hispanics. Demographically speaking, it is inevitable that in the not too distant future, White (European) Americans will become a minority group, an lose all political power. (i.e. the Republican Party will cease to exist). The majority of America's population will have an average IQ below 90 points (i.e. Blacks: average IQ = 85, and Hispanics: average IQ = 87 points), and it is NOT POSSIBLE for a democracy to function if the average IQ of the majority of the electorate falls below 90 points. I predict that when America falla a new "Dark Age" will descend, just as it did after the fall of Imperial Rome in 476 AD. What was America will become a landscape of violence; "barbarians" (esp Blacks) will run amok, all civilized culture will degenerate into "animalistic", amoral chaos. Are you familiar with the "Mad Max" films -starring Mel Gibson? If not, they are set in a dystopian future, where brutes and savages roam free in a lawless, violent anarchic land. It's not a pretty picture.


Don't worry, you won't live to so see it; but it coming, the signs are everywhere: California is now a Third-world state; the BLM riots of 2020; Black supremacist Marism -in the form of CRT - being taught in K-12 schools; raw, crude and explicit anti-White racism being broadcast by the MSM (for example, MSNBC's Joy Reid); the White House Press Secretary, that is - the person who literally speaks for the President - is an incompetent/stupid Black lesbian (named Karin Jean - Pierre) who has an extensive history of pedalling outrageous and totally overt, anti-white racism on MSNBC and other MSM outlets; the frank insanity of the Biden Junta opening the Southern Border; the ongoing rise of Identity Politics (i.e. the American Vice President must be Black and female) and so on and on. IMHO, unless America can be promptly turned back into a 90% White (European) nation, like it was from 1776 to the mid-1960s - and I can't think of any possible way that could happen - the US and the rest of the West are doomed. And this will constitute the greatest ever tragedy in the entire 6000 - year history of human civilisation.

Blacks or "any" race do not need their own ""SEPARATE"" song



If you want to separate your self from other Americans and make it all about you with your own song than you are not a true American
