  1. I'm tired. I'm tired of the killings of unarmed Black people. I'm tired of Black people getting the cops called on them for doing normal shit like bird watching. I'm tired of wondering if I, a Black man who owns a home, need to call the police will they automatically shoot me on site because of my skin and not realize I own the damn house? I'm tired of certain people getting mad at football players kneeling for police injustice yet those same people are mad at Black people rebelling because they've had enough. I'm just...tired. There are many awesome parts about America and being and American, and I'm proud of that. But if you aren't Black, I can't tell you how difficult it is to be a Black American. I know what my grandmothers (may they rest in peach) went through during the 50s and 60s. I wonder if what is happening now is similar or if that's too harsh of a comparison. I remember asking a White poster on Hornfans if he would ever wish that he could change and let me be White and him Black for a week, and of course his response was "no way." And pretty much all White people will say that because it's hard yall. It's difficult. It's frustrating. It's tiring. I've stayed out of the recent threads with the recent killings of Black people by police, the Bird lady, and others because there's just nothing really I can say. This recent killing feels different, especially because I'm seeing all of the tweets by White athletes (just saw one by Joe Burrow and Carson Wentz) along with White celebs that I feel would haven't been posted during a killing like this a few years ago. At least I don't remember it. I'm just rambling now, and I'm fully aware that posters like Brother Horn probably do not feel the same way. After all, everyone has a different Frame of Reference. But for a large, large, large, large, large majority of Black Americans, I think I can speak for us/them when I said--we're tired.

  2. That President and AG tried to take the tiniest steps to fixing the conditions that resulted in the unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore. In response, racist morons like you lost their shit and elected the white supremacist psychopath who openly bragged about restoring the conditions that led to the unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore and encouraged police brutality. Eat shit, fuck off, go fuck yourself, etc.

  9. Trump is too dumb to be a purposeful saboteur. But is there any doubt that his election to the presidency worked out perfectly for our enemies? When Putin watches a Trump press conference, he must feel like Cortes did when he realized what smallpox was doing to the Aztecs. Or how Bob Stoops felt every time he looked across the field during warmups and saw Greg Davis drooling on a laminated game plan.

  11. Look, I participate in the Covid CR forum. And a great deal of it is just trashing Trump. I gleefully participate. But if you want news or stats, you do have to wade through a bunch of shit to get it. I'm not going to pretend that the Covid DT thread is politics-free. Or name-calling-free. It's not. And yeah, I suppose the right-wingers spend a little more time there, but it's not nonstop Sack, GRHorn and Icono. Not hardly. One of the biggest posters is Dahobbs, who is not a trumper at all and brings the news. There are others whose politics I don't pretend to know. But, it is more news-heavy than Trump-bashing heavy by a pretty far piece. Sometimes that news includes conspiracy theories and bullshit. The only people that bitch about the DT thread are the ones who have the vast, vast majority of their posts in CR. I by and large respect you, BamaChick, but assaulting the moderators is bullshit. You, more than some others to include me, are a guest here. I'm not going to trash the mods, who donate their time, for trying to create a forum within a forum that is not non-stop partisan politics. #bothsides #whogivesashit #geezus

  12. "Hey, that guy didn't deserve to be shot. Can we please have some justice? Reform?" "He was a criminal and he resisted, stfu." "Hey, this one is really bad. He didn't resist. Justice? Reform? Please? "You see that furtive motion? Resistance, sorry." "Hey, this one is worse. Hands were up. Justice? Reform? "He was really scary before that and maybe still had a gun. We'll look into it." "Hey this one is even worse. Shot in the back. Justice please? Reform?" "Ok, sowwy. One bad apple. He'll receive a strongly worded letter." "Hey, it happened again. Justice? Reform? "Just another bad apple. Why you keep saying reform?" "I have a very public job and I want reform. That is why I'm kneeling" "OMG TRAITOR STFU I HATE YOU!!!" "Hey, here's another really bad one. Help. PLEASE" "We're still reviewing the facts. Let off it already." "Hey, it happened AGAIN! PLEASE!" "Another bad apple. We'll handle it internally. All is well" "JFC, this one is on video! Everyone agrees this one is fubar! JUSTICE, REFORM, PLEASE!!!" "Yeah, that's bad, but it might not be a crime. We'll let you know." "Fuck this, we're angry, shit's going down." "Hey now, why you so mad tho? Why can't you ask nicely? [facepalm]

  16. You know what, feel free to fuck right off. You’re on a free website, it’s a privilege not a right. If you don’t like it here, fucking express your free right to leave and not darken the door of the horrible evil moderators who do this in their free time. This site isn’t a financial cash cow for the guys running it, and it is a time suck. But most importantly, it’s free. It truly is a privilege, not a right to be able to post here. You and many others should remember that, instead of acting like an entitled child because you don’t get to post however you want. It’s a fundamental American right for an organization to refuse service to people that don’t follow their policies or guidelines. Pieces of shit in Indiana won’t sell gays cakes because they’re pieces of shit, but apparently they have that right. If you don’t like it here take a hike.

  17. Camera crew with thousands of dollars of very clearly marked equipment, provides credentials, filming half a football field away from any action in the place they were told to be: "Let's arrest them and just sort it out later" Police officer, on perfectly clear high definition video, murders a man with premeditation and intent, three days ago: "We're going to need to sort through the details before we can even think of charging or arresting this man!" America.

  19. I will reluctantly remain polite in this post. We're a republic or a democracy. Those types of things face issues in the arena of discourse. A republic that wants to divorce the means of policy address from discussion of events ceases to be a republic. It becomes some limp, wan, mush of confrontation avoidance which may not even have a name. America could break new ground. Hurrah for the Red, White, and Blue. I don't name Trump in my post, by the way. I speak of our vile national face to the world and the general need to change who we appear to be (actually are, evidently) to what we like to think we are. Widespread police violence and murder against a segment of the population is a political issue. Naming and condemning those who tacitly or aloud support that status quo is necessarily political. The sudden desire to divorce politics from news issues corresponds with the timing of those supporting the status quo having greater trouble defending the status quo. I can't go for: Hey, look, the police are murdering negroes in broad daylight, on camera while nearby citizens peacefully try to intervene. Oh, what a terrible thing. Maybe we should do something about that. Oh, wait, hold on there, Hoss. That would be political talk. Take that somewhere else. I want to be argument proof, and you're treading on my right to be unchallenged in the political arena. Umm, every act by government that is news is actually inseparable from politics. So maybe, just maybe, be a good citizen and actually participate in debate and think about your own viewpoint and how your votes and other actions affect the nation. The thugs are rioting and stealing stuff. The police murder is back burner now. Hillary Clinton is a murdering whore. Okay then. I'll end this polite post. With some difficulty.

  25. Part of the problem is the police in the country are becoming more and more militarized and their mindset is becoming more and more "us against them"... If there is a quote/unquote war against cops, it's because they fucking caused it. Police departments need to be de-militerized and regulated by the state. This self-governing bullshit is not working and was never going to work.

  28. This is so key. Minorities in America want a voice. Our response when they protest peacefully and symbolically? SHUT UP AND PLAY FOOTBALL! Our response when the poorest and most disenfranchised want to vote? LET'S MAKE IT HARDER FOR THEM TO VOTE! Our response when they fucking give up and get violent? THUGS! THIS ISN'T HOW YOU SHOULD ADDRESS YOUR GRIEVANCES! They can't peacefully protest and be heard. They can't vote and be heard. We have TOLD them that the current path -- violence -- is the only path available to them. All of this, instead of us just saying "you know what....there's some real fucking problems here, why don't we address them?" Our denial is strong as hell.

  29. Hey, would this be the place to post the guidance that Sessions issued literally on his way out of the office? It was guidance for the DOJ with respect to Consent Decrees, which are a regularly used tool to get police departments to straighten up and fly right. And it effectively instructed the DOJ not to issue any more long-term, strong Consent Decrees. It was literally a direct undermining of the mechanism used to get police departments to reform. This admin hasn't just been neglectful of the issue -- it's purposefully worked AGAINST reform. And of course, the chief executive has directly informed police that he'd like it if they bang suspects heads against their cars when they load them up. Come the fuck on. This is the system functioning exactly like this administration WANTS it to function.

  32. Spent Tuesday tuna Fishing out of Oregon Inlet, NC. 14 fish, 30-50 lbs. each, lost 2 to sharks, which gets really bad in the Summer according to the mate. Foggy as shit (50-100 yds visibility) on the ride out, and never really got that warm, We were 40 miles out (2 hour run at about 22-24 knots) still inside the Gulf Stream. Up at 3:30- back at the dock at 4:30. Going out of the harbor is a really choppy run in to 6-8' swells as water running into Back Bay meets water running out. One of our guys had that worried, greenish caste about HIS face till we got out in open water, and it laid down a bit, 1-4' very spread out seas, and a nice slow breeze all day. Vacuum sealed steaks, bites, and a few half loins. I got tuna for the year now. That first batch below was fucking great Paul Prudhomme Seafood Magic on butter coated slabs 10-15 seconds per side, paired with a wasabi, soy, teriyaki, worcestershire sauce for dipping. This week is bites, steaks, and tacos, and probably some tuna salad.

  33. No we're not. No black leader who actually speaks truth to power and stands up for the shat-upon will be good enough for you and yours. They never are. They weren't when it was MLK, they won't be now. "I mean, sure, that guy may make a decent point every now and then, but I just can't put my stock in a guy who lied to his teacher one time in 3rd grade, and got in a fight on the playground in 4th grade. Why can't black people find a leader who isn't a dishonest thug? And how come he's not doing anything to stop black-on-black violence? That's the real problem [NOTE -- pretty much every one of the folks criticized for that "weakness" actually does do a metric shitton in that respect, the critics just don't bother to look]." No black leader who dares to stand up for his people is good enough. None. Never.

  35. interesting post from interesting poster. everyone has a right to bitch and moan about shit on this website. people do it all the time. you've done more than your fair share about bitching about moderation. that's the primary impetus being the "ask the mods" part of the site. if you think the bitching bothers blacklab or imma or me, then you're probably wondering why this thread was created by blacklab in the first place. dialogue is healthy, believe it or not. you direct your anger in her direction when you've been suspended multiple times yourself, and have had to self-isolate from the cr because you do not have any discipline at all. that's kind of funny, if you weren't so outwardly hateful about it.

  36. If I didn't like the way a website was being moderated, especially if it was a website dedicated to a college I don't support, I'd probably fuck off to another website. I'd like to add that I think the mods are doing a wonderful job when you consider the endless bullshit they have to endure without compensation.

  37. I'm sorry you have become so jaded in the need to spew your political bullshit to others that you can't see the fact that most of us don't give a flying fuck about your opinions of the president. It's possible to talk about it without making it political.

  40. This site is getting goddamned ridiculous. I wasn't much of a cloak room reader before, but the whole 'muh safe space' on the DT side of the house about issues that inherently intertwine with politics is fucking ridiculous and weak. Not to mention there's a lot of not so subtle dog whistling that invites a political reply, then they all scream 'no politics here you dumbass go to the cloak room!' Hell, one of the posters replied with "just go vote blue if you think that will fix everything." As if an internet discussion board is supposed to have a 'just the facts ma'am' section where nobody has an opinion on anything. As if the DT is the internet board's equivalent of Reuters or the AP. Stupid. When did Texas sports fans become such overall pussies that have to scream as if poisoned because their eyes happened to alight upon something political in nature? That the moderators encourage such bitchassness pretty sad as well, honestly. </rant>
