I just don’t understand this expectation that ex-players need to be welcomed back by the team. Last I checked its a business. Oakley played for the Knicks, and while doing so was paid alot of money to do his job, just like any other employee of contractor hired to do a job. Once that contract/employment is over…

All jokes aside...green is maybe over reacting here? I’d imagine if a retired employee of a company returned to corporate functions from time to time and during these times audibly and openly criticized the owner of said company I imagine that person wouldn’t be welcome back??? Not sure if that mentality is ‘slave…

Huh, I just thought it was a ‘my house, my rules’ mentality. You’re free to yell anything you want...outside the building I own.

I kind of get his point, but I must have missed the part of revisionist history where the slaves were spoiled, coddled millionaires

I don’t think one can ever completely end racism or bigotry, but one can get society to agree on acceptable mores and behaviors. The people who supported emancipation, women’s suffrage, the voting rights acts and an end to anti-sodomy laws weren’t all totally free of bigotries. If we had to wait for the children and…

From watching the documentary last night, in at least one case, yes. A woman who’d been raised in the KKK was doing PSAs against racism. And I’m pretty sure he’s spending more than just an afternoon with these guys.

So you’re saying that people are incapable of change and all manners of protest and dialogue are completely futile?

Yeah, I’m kind of surprised by the response to this. We’ll have to wait and see how the movie plays out, but I doubt anyone’s going to walk away from it like, “oh facists aren’t so bad.” I mean, I didn’t walk away from seeing Swing Kids as a 13 year old (so, like, still not at the most intellectually discerning)…

As the son of an officer, his membership in the Hitler Youth would have been mandatory. It does not make him a Nazi. Some Germans actively tried to fight what was going on in their country. A lot of them were executed. A lot of their families disappeared. Broad painting every German as a ruthless killer of Jewish…

Exactly. I believe both can be true. That we can present Nazi’s (and their children) as human while simultaneously showing the atrocities they perpetrated while following a regime that promised economic prosperity and rekindling of a powerful military.

I haven’t seen the movie, but is it possible that this, like Schindler’s List, is a film that both shows the softer side of the Nazi party and is also staunchly anti-Nazi? Like maybe by the end of the movie, the Nazi has figured out that hating Jews/Blacks isn’t such a good thing after all?

You’d be surprised just how shit airlines are at communication and fixing massive safety flaws.

As far as violations go, this is small potatoes. But you add it to the list. You remember. And then you bring out that list in 18 months when arguing why these people cannot be trusted with power and their cronies should be voted out of office.

To complete the bad joke, the WaPo reports: “Enforcement measures are largely left to the head of the federal agency — in Conway’s case, the White House.”

Why though? Is she not capable of exiting a vehicle and mounting steps alone? Are most women not capable of that (with no disrespect to the disabled community)? I get it that it’s a social more and that it would have been polite and would have demonstrated regard for him to have walked her in. However, I think…

Jason Derulo had his race cards packed in his bags and was pissed that he couldn’t pull them out fast enough

Jason: Don’t you know who I am?

Oh, Jason. You can’t have it both ways.

All this Jason Derulo mess just sounds like he’s being overly entitled...
