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

[Deborah1$]

This statement could be compared to someone saying nobody drives model T fords anymore then you post some pictures of people driving model T fords at an antique car rally. Do you know why those photos were taken? Probably because it’s something people don’t see very often because they’re extremely rare.

LOLOL! Yeah right. They were taken because your "non-existent racists" were out there making a spectacle. Pretending and ignoring won't make your statement true or make it go away. We live in a fallen world where all kinds of "ugly" exist.

That's not surprising.

But it isn't related.

You claimed that Trump claimed "that Obama can't be an American because he's black." I asked for evidence of this because I could find none, and guessed that maybe you were talking about Trump promoting the conspiracy "birther" claims, in which case you completely misrepresented what he said. Go ahead and criticize Trump all you want for buying into dumb conspiracy theories, but don't make up things about him.

DaisyDay then went on to talk about how Trump didn't question anything about Marco Rubio, which is totally irrelevant to the question of whether Trump said what you claimed he did, which was that Obama couldn't be an American because he's black. (also, as far as I know there's been no question about Rubio's birthplace, even among conspiracy theorists, making it a pointless comparison)

I notice also that you offer this snide remark to me rather than, well, offering evidence for the claim you made. So go ahead, offer it! Show us where Donald Trump said that, on the basis of being black, Obama can't be an American! Because while that birther stuff might have been nonsense, it still wasn't him making the claim you said he did.

The NFL knows whose behavior is petty and childish here---the one who won by less than 50% of the vote. There is no mandate, just someone who is ceding authority to an unelected wealthiest man on earth who has thus far tried to deprive the entire third world of subsistence food, potable water, and malaria protection--fortunately blocked temporarily by a wise (and probably as shell shocked as I am) judge.
The NFL shouldn't be worried about the feelings of snowflakes...but instead, how to help the continent of Africa. They should wonder whether "racism" had anything to do with a man raised in apartheid Africa gutting a program insuring African survival.

I have never seen a more melodramatic rejection of reality. If you truly believe this nonsense, your denial will only get you 8 more years of JD Vance.

Ain't nothing normal about caving in on your principles to please a guest who seemingly lacks them.

Ain't nothing normal about "End Racism" being on an end zone either. Nothing normal about children screaming political nonsense at a football game either.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

I can understand that having to see the words "End Racism" would really make a football game insufferable.

Yes. It is garbage that has no business on a football field.

Yes. It is garbage that has no business on a football field.

As long as we're pointing out melodrama.... agreeing that having "end racism" at the top of the end zone makes the game "insufferable" would certainly count.

Insufferable!

 

[Deborah1$]

Uh... when did Trump say this?

No, seriously, when? In all the many attacks on Trump, I haven't heard of this before. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. If Trump said "Obama can't be an American because he's black" the liberals would be all over this, but I've never heard of this.

I'm guessing this is a reference to how Trump for a while was promoting the "birther" conspiracy that Obama wasn't born in the United States and as a result wasn't eligible for being President. That's certainly a silly idea, but that's a pretty far cry from "Obama can't be an American because he's black".



There is little reason to believe that Musk was doing a Nazi salute; he even preceded it with saying "my heart goes out to you" to better show the purpose behind it.

In some fairness, Musk's handling of the accusation afterwards was bad. But I don't see much reason to believe it was an intentional Nazi salute.



Who?

I'm guessing this is in reference to Marko Elez, who was hired for DOGE but then resigned after it was discovered he made a bunch of racist posts on a separate account under a different name. I don't know if there's any reason to believe Musk was aware of that at the time of hiring, but I suppose that point doesn't matter anymore because he was then re-hired by Musk (or at least Musk said he'd re-hire him recently, I'm not sure if he actually did yet).

Regardless, even if tweets like "Normalize Indian hate" are clearly racist, I haven't seen any evidence he was a Nazi supporter, despite having looked at several liberal-aligned articles complaining about him and sharing examples of the racist tweets. Surely if there was any actual evidence of Nazi support, they'd be showing that... but no, it's just generic racist stuff. Obviously not good, but not Nazi either.

This is probably what he was referring to: Trump says Black voters relate to criminal prosecutions, prefer the 'white guy' to Obama Trump brought up race and stated to the affect that voters "preferred the white guy."

The left isn't parading Nazi signs in Ohio this week.

Someone went all out, but it wasn't the left.

If only the left relegated it to a few people on an overpass somewhere. But on their end it's the Super Bowl. Which still begs the question of why does the left want racism to constantly be an issue so much?

 

[Michie]

This thread is quite the spectacle to behold. Warm up for the Super Bowl?

We know you don't truly believe what you just wrote. You wanted a talking point. It's not working.

So Trump thinks blacks like him because he's a convicted felon? That's really insulting to black people.

All we need now is the mods penalizing me 15 days for perceived goading the passer.

Insulting, but laughable. But then again, much of what he says is laughable,..... and unfortunately dangerous/

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Being triggered by the phrase "End Racism" and justifying the position by arguing "There are so many things that should be ended. If you can't support them all, you shouldn't support any".

What is going on?

BLM needs to end.

Insufferable!

And they replaced it with CHOOSE LOVE! *clutches pearls*

Insufferable!

How would the left feel if Make America Great Again! Was painted onto the end zone. Yeah, I bet liberals would find that insufferable.

 

[ozso]

Oh come on now, don't you want our society to be stuck in the 70s?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

You have no clue what black folk like and I wish what white liberal women like yourself would keep us out of your mouth.

White Savior complex.

The White savior complex, also known as White saviorism, is an ideology that a White person acts upon from a position of superiority to rescue a BIPOC—Black, Indigenous, or person of color—community or person.
