Topic List	Page List: 1
Full Throttle 03/12/18 11:53:49 PM #1:	Are you triggered by people who sit or kneel during the national anthem? Yes No I wouldn't call it triggered but rather calling it for what it is. Unpatriotic View Results ABC has pulled a "racially-charged" episode of Black-ish citing "creative differences" with the creator Kenya Barris!! The episode called "Please Baby Please was to air on Feb 27th and featured Dre, played by Anthony Anderson, telling his son a bedtime story about the right of athletes to KNEEL during the national anthem..and it was instead replaced by a re-run!! Kenya said "Given our creative differences, neither ABC nor i were happy with the direction of the episode and mutually agreed not to air it. One of the things that was always made up black-ish so special is how it deftly examines delicate social issues in a way that simultiatemly entertains ane educates" The show has dealt with sensitive political issues in the past such as the 2016 election, racial slurs and police brutality. It's drawn strong ratings and critical praise for episodes addressing a broad range of political and social themes Tracee Ellis Ross has been nominated multiple times for her portrayal as Dr Rainbow Johnson. The National Anthem protests were started in 2016 by Former QB Colin Kaepernick and President Trump railed against athletes who knelt during the anthem and demanded they be FIRED and THROWN OFF the field for their "unpatriotic" behaviour.. This sparked a backlash as other athletes and people began kneeling in protest that saw ratings drop and a national outcry that drew a line between liberals and conservatives Are you triggered when you see people sit or kneel during the national anthem?

Zeus 03/13/18 11:24:40 PM #29:	streamofthesky posted... I have never gotten nor will EVER get the butt-hurt over kneeling. If anything, it looks more respectful than standing. Why does anyone fucking care if someone wants to do it during the national anthem? Kind of like it's more respectful to start singing the Star Spangled Banner during a moment of silence, right? streamofthesky posted... Remember when BLM was blocking traffic and protesting in streets, and everyone was (rightfully) saying they shouldn't disrupt transit just to spread their message, they should find a way to protest that's not as intrusive? They did, and people bitched about that, too. Just proves that what the right really meant when they said, "don't protest in streets" was "don't protest at all." Stupid. I want protests during the anthem, not in streets. And literally all they asked was for them not to stand in the road. Every other protest group seems to manage that, except the occasional Occupy Wall Street rally. More importantly, they're on the clock. If I was intentionally disruptive at my job on a regular basis, I'd be kicked to the curb. MICHALECOLE posted...

Kind of like it's more respectful to start singing the Star Spangled Banner during a moment of silence, right? No, that's a pretty crappy analogy, if you're making noise you're ruining the moment of silence. Try: kneeling during a moment of silence vs. lowering your head. No big deal.

If an employer tried to force his employees to stand for the national anthem or else be fined or terminated, a court would ream that employer's ass.
