I get the comparison, and there are certainly many black Americans who agree with you regarding other black people using the n-word. As we have discussed before, I think it would be great if nobody used the word. But the historical context makes the use of it by a white person much, much worse than the use of it by a black person, and it is simply not a justification for any white person to use it just because some black people do. And I feel the same is true with regard to wearing a MAGA hat: the fact that some people (like this elderly Jewish man in the news story) may not be aware or care that the hat has been adopted by white supremists as a symbol of their "cause" doesn't justify a person who does know and care about that fact continuing to wear one. It is like a rainbow flag: whether a person likes it or not, that flag has been adopted by a group of people as a symbol of their cause, and flying that flag makes a statement as a result, inadvertently or not.

Thank you for your support.

^^^^^^^Straight from the Mudarator playbook^^^^^^

No argument here my friend!

I don't understand.

Saw this on Leland Conway's FB page, I thought it was pretty spot on.

This is incredible. Dwayne has always in a class act, especially in a league where that seems to be so rare. To see someone use his talents and gifts off the court and out of the spotlight is awesome. https://www.barstoolsports.com/viral/apparently-budweiser-wants-everyone-to-cry-today-over-this-dwyane-wade-commercial

LOL.......

I want to see an increase in the the number of kids playing football at Bremen.

The other 63 teams in 3A all get Mono.

New Zealand's Sweeping New Gun Ban Would Be Unconstitutional in the U.S.: http://reason.com/blog/2019/03/21/new-zealands-sweeping-new-gun-and-magazi

I don't know how good the gun registration database/system is in NZ, but I suspect a lot of guns are going to be just hidden away somewhere, Unless the NZ government comes looking for them.

Thanks for the info IO.

In New Zealand, Terrorism Is Winning: https://spectator.org/in-new-zealand-terrorism-is-winning/ “Acted on their own”? While there are certainly arguments to be made against sharing video of the attack, the shutting down of entire forums by industry for the sake of a single video is eerily reminiscent of the practices of the Chinese and Iranian governments. Or, for that matter, American tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter. In the digital age, free speech lies more in the realm of the private sector than it does the public, and citizens are sadly at the whim of companies’ political leanings. And the Christchurch massacre provided the perfect camouflage for the region’s tech companies to flex their muscles and police speech, in this case absent a request from the government. 1984, anyone? But perhaps not even Orwell could imagine a leading New Zealand bookseller removing famed psychologist and pundit Jordan Peterson’s book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos from its shelves. Never mind the fact that the book includes a chapter critically addressing the motivations of mass shooters and prescriptions for preventing such events from happening in the future. As Ardern warned, however, the powers-that-be in New Zealand are just getting started. They have even gone so far as to ban the shooter’s manifesto, a work that, while vile, should remain in the marketplace of ideas solely for its potential for ridicule. It seems that Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law, namely that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, is playing out in real time as New Zealand’s powers-that-be are finally achieving a level of control that would make the gunman green with envy. The people would be wise to not let their emotions cloud the ramifications of government, and corporate, overreach. For just as taxes are never repealed, rights are rarely restored. As of yet there have been no large-scale protests or significant calls for resistance; of course, one can hardly blame the people of New Zealand for focusing more on the victims than policy in the immediate aftermath of the attack. But when the dead are buried and the smoke clears, it may well be too late.

http://reason.com/archives/2019/04/02/stuff-sparks-joy Yep. Government wants to grow, to control every aspect of our lives. It wants to tell us what we can buy, when we can buy it, and how much we will pay for it.

New Zealand Gang: We Won't Give Up Our Guns To Government: https://www.dailywire.com/news/45483/new-zealand-gang-we-wont-give-our-guns-government-james-barrett I guess the old quote may come true: "Once guns are outlawed only outlaws will own guns."

https://www.dailywire.com/news/44893/walsh-celebrity-politicians-matt-walsh As we the people have ceded more and more power over our lives to government the more people view those in power as quasi-deities, and it is disgusting. "A good American is always suspicious of any man or woman who seeks to gain power over him." No truer words have ever been spoken.

Just a lucky fisherman

I'm sorry, the bolded portion doesn't seem to make sense grammatically.

Again, I don't understand. But thank you for pointing out that I forgot the word "you" in my previous statement. Unfortunately the edit window is now very, very short for posts, otherwise I would fix it.

Fixed.
