https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/16/entertainment/dre-eminem-super-bowl/index.html Damn right "It was all good in the hood during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, according to Dr. Dre The uber producer, who performed along with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar Sunday, told TMZ there was no problem with Eminem taking a knee during the show. The gesture was made famous by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick as an act of protest against police brutality and racial discrimination and there had been a report that the NFL requested that Eminem not do it. "Em taking a knee that was Em doing that on his own," Dr. Dre said of his protegee. "And there was no problem with that." In a statement to CNN Sunday, the NFL said they had no issue with the rapper kneeling. "We watched all elements of the show during multiple rehearsals this week and were aware that Eminem was going to do that," the statement read. "A player or coach could have taken a knee and there would have been no repercussions so there was no reason to tell an artist she or he could not do so." Dr. Dre told TMZ there were minor changes made by the NFL, including removing a reference to gangs in one of Lamar's songs, which Dre said was "no big deal." "All in all we came in, everybody was professional, everybody was on time," he said. "Everybody really felt the magnitude of what this thing was and what we were going to be able to accomplish. It was a fantastic experience." It marked the first time hip-hop artists were the featured performers for NFL's biggest night." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Taking a knee isn't helping anything. You shouldn't be fighting America, you should be fighting for a better America. All this does is give strength to Republicans. It gives them something to push back against. It doesn't do anything to strengthen the left or undo any of the harmful things that are happening. It was stupid when Colin did it. It was stupid when Biden did it. It's stupid when Em does it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That is my problem with it. When you say "fuck America," which is my takeaway from kneeling in protest of the flag, you say fuck everything that is America. Which means the troops, the people, the personal freedoms, etc. I don't disagree with their desire to raise awareness, but I think they're taking the wrong target. If one side is anti-American and one side is pro-American, the pro-American side will win. The left needs to be pro-America -- but a better, more inclusive America. Or else they need to be in favor of replacing "America" with something better. Right now, it's almost like a contest between an organized army and a couple of scattered groups of guerilla rebels. If the left can't rally together and work for a better tomorrow instead of complaining about how much everything sucks, this nation will be fascist within a decade or two. And that's just being real. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean what I say though. You can't be anti- and win. It's like pro-life and pro-choice. The left didn't say, "We're anti-life." They said, "We're pro-choice." If the right says they're, "Pro (regressive) America," then the left needs to be "Pro (progressive) America" or "pro something else." It's like the 2016 election. They thought Trump being the villain would be enough. People had to have four years of that would-be dictator before they reluctantly rallied behind "anyone but Trump." We need a rallying point, we need someone or something to rally behind, rallying against will get people nowhere. So even if you think that America is dirt and the flag is a piece of cloth, it's still an impractical method of trying to bring about change. Because it's not for anything. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And that's just being real. But the issue here is that "the left" IS trying to rally together and work for a better tomorrow by pointing out the country's flaws. They are saying "There is a problem, and here's what we think should be done to fix it". Whereas "the right" just says "This is America. If you don't like it, leave" instead of also recognizing that there are problems. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ironically America and our troops past and present fight for our right to kneel and protest. I have talked to veterans. They agree. Being able to kneel or protest is what were about. If you have an issue with that youre the un-American one. You want to control what people say and do, strip them if their right to protest.
