"End Racism" Removed from Superbowl Stadium End Zones--so as not to 'offend' President Trump

[Oompa Loompa]

The same logic can be applied to other issues as well. There are many pro-life billboards where I live. Do you know of any instances where a woman changed her decision about abortion because she saw a billboard? Signs and billboards are effective; otherwise, the USA would not spend 500 billion USD a year on marketing.

This is categorical fallacy. Advertising to a woman who is struggling with her decision to kill her baby by providing options and alternatives to sway her is not the same as undoing a deeply rooted ideology. A more comparable example would if a billboard said "Vote for Trump." How many hard-core Democrats would look at the sign and think, "Okay sign, you convinced me. I guess I am MAGA all the way now."?

No. You misunderstood. I was asking who said that. As for End Racism signs, how many are enough? Should they literally be everywhere? Can the liberalism go ten seconds without saying racism? I think the liberalism's obsession with racism is pathological.

It is regrettable that initiatives to eliminate racism are often perceived as a political position in today's context. The goal of ending racism should be supported by all political parties collectively.

I'm not a marketing expert, so I'll leave that to the professionals.

If some individuals wish to display signs stating "end racism," why does that trouble others? If you do not agree with it, simply look the other way. Conservatives often criticize Woke culture by claiming that liberals are intolerant of differing opinions. However, it appears that conservatives also exhibit similar behavior, as they too seek to suppress ideas they disagree with from public discourse

If I put up a sign that said "There are only two genders," how much change do you think that would create?

Does it come with a Bud Light logo?

I would agree with you. and ask you if you have an extra to place on my lawn?

It probably wouldn't change anything, and I might even get a few eggs thrown at my sign. But it is my right to express myself, just like those who want to put up signs saying "end racism."

Nope.

It was the NFL’s decision. It had nothing to do with offending Trump. This whole thread was started because of false news.

If the NFL perceives efforts to end racism as negative, this stance may eventually affect their viewership numbers.

Not happening. Read up on it. They have CHOOSE LOVE as their banner now. It’s their prerogative. Love does not cover racism.

 

[Pommer]

Oh no! How will we know that racism is wrong and needs to be ended????

So ridiculous to have had it in the first place. I don't care is anyone, including the NFL, wants to have something like that, but to pretend that it had any effect or will have any effect when removed is nonsense.

What’s ridiculous is that the slogan was there all year and only removed/changed because of one, single, person.

I got caught believing my “own side’s” BS.

Complete falsehood.

 

[rjs330]

Well, I'll be honest. Since the NFL removed the end racism sign i don't know what to do. I really needed them to be sending this message in order for me to know what i need to do.

Does the removal mean that we've ended racism? Does it mean we can be racists again? The message was important from a sports organization. It was key to ending racism.

I agree. Going back on topic, an NFL team has the right to advertise what they want.

CHOOSE LOVE.

CHOOSE LOVE.

Amen, Sister!

It won't be eliminated by certain folks seeing it everywhere all the time. When they have racism on the brain 24/7.

Aside from that everyone is prejudiced towards others who aren't like them. Even people who are the same ethnicity are prejudiced towards one another. Democrats are prejudiced against Republicans and vice versa. Traditional Christians are prejudiced against Evangelicals and vice versa. Urban folks are prejudiced against rural folks and vice versa. White Brits are prejudiced against "gingers" (those with red hair). The list is endless.

 

[RileyG]

It's often the ones calling for no Racism who are the most racist. So yes, the topic is offensive

Ah, yes. Reaction formation.

We agree on that. I have been fortunate to travel to many parts of the world, and I found one unfortunate thing common everywhere: racism and discrimination exist across all races, cultures, and societies. No single race is inherently more tolerant or more racist than another.

Historically, conservatives Americans have advocated against discriminatory practices. However, today they seek to move beyond this legacy. This shift is not because they believe racism no longer exists, but because they feel that in some segments of American society, blame is disproportionately placed on Caucasians. Some American societal perspectives, particularly among some educated elites at universities, suggest that many of the world's problems, oppression, and injustices over the past 1000 years have been caused by Europeans. This viewpoint also includes the belief that Caucasians are inherently racist. However, this perspective often does not address racism present in other cultures and races. As a result many conservative see fight against racism is a attack on white.

I'm not a fan of virtue signaling. If you want to end racism, do something to help end racism. Don't just paint it on the field and pretend like you've made a difference.

Thing is, you can't write about it or talk about it. You can't discuss it in a forum for example because apparently it's not a problem. So you definitely can't explain what racism is to kids because heaven-to-betsy, one it doesn't exist, and two - they might think about their own attitudes to minorities and where would that get us? Take a knee to show support for the idea? Tell that man or woman to get a life! Put up a sign or paint a message somewhere? It's woke! Get it outa here! It offends all these white people who are not racist. Good grief, some of their best friends are Asian and black and talk Spanish in the supermarket (but gee, why can't they speak English for heaven's sake. They should make an effort.).
