I’ve educated myself: Blake was a rapist. A woman whose home he wouldn’t leave and whose keys he stole called police. Police were aware of his warrant. When they tried to take him into custody, he fought with police. They tased him. Still, he made his way to his car. Police... https://twitter.com/troyrenck/status/1299401355006746626
...ordered him to stop and drew their weapons. Blake ignored them and reached into his car. He was reaching for a knife —but he could have been reaching for a gun. Police fired on him.

The police were there to protect the woman who called them. They did so.

George Floyd...
...died of a fetanyl overdose. He resisted arrest and refused to get into the police car. The bodycam footage was withheld from the public for months. Floyd was yelling that he couldn’t breathe before he was taken to the ground. No one has shown any racial motive for his death.
Breonna Taylor’s death was tragic. And those who got the address wrong need to explain how such a thing could happen.

Michael Brown committee a strong-arm robbery against a Korean store owner. He rushed a police officer and tried to take his gun. A shot was fired.
...Brown moved away, then turned again and rushed the officer, who shot him.

The left, looking to stoke racial tension, convinced a lot of well-meaning people to march for black lives. But what they didn’t tell peoplr is that BLM is a Marxist group calling for the abolition...
...of police, prisons, and the nuclear family.

The movement has grown increasingly violent, looting, rioting, beating people in the streets, harassing people in vehicles, in restaurants, and outside their homes.

Sadly, pro-athletes, many of whom are still quite young, have...
...bought the propaganda.

In Minneapolis, riots broke out when a suspected murderer killed himself. This, evidently, gave license to more arson and looting.

People who were otherwise disposed to support the cause are catching on. They see the violence, hear the demands...
...and are fed up with threats. They’re walking on eggshells, afraid to say the wrong thing. Whites have been deemed irredeemably racist. We’re told “systemic racism” is all around us — though the cities burning have been run by the same part for decades.

In short, we’re...
...sick of being held hostage. We are sick of highly-paid athletes with very little *real* education presuming to lecture us.

We are simply out of fucks to give.

Woke sports, like woke Hollywood, is repetitive, boring, emotionally-driven, and factually incoherent.
So don’t be surprised — after we’re again lectured on how we “need to educate ourselves” — if we walk away for good.

George Floyd held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman; Jacob Blake raped a 15-year-old. Michael Brown was a bully, a thief, and assaulted a cop.

If...
...these are the faces of your movement — and you demand I deify them — the answer will always be no.

If you demand I embrace Marxism, the answer will always be no.

If you demand I support racial separatism, the answer will always be no.

81% of blacks — who are often the...
...short term and longterm victims of political violence and rioting/looting — are opposed to defunding police. In fact, many want MORE police.

Threatening not to play a sport, or not to produce a Batman movie, is not going to sway any of us.

All it will do is deepen a divide
And the sad part is, all of this has only served to take race-relations back fifty years — appropriate, given that the party that has incentivized, promoted, & enabled this is the party that supported slavery and Jim Crow, and who is running a candidate who loved segregationists
