there will continue to be more outrage over some athlete not standing than what they are protesting for.

because after one or two attempts if they still want to policesplain to me or gunsplain to me or whitesplain to me I just block them. I had one young person tell me the other day that we need to keep talking to them. My response was this and what would that accomplish? All they are going to do is keep rehashing the same crap over and over again, all they are going to do is play the what about this game over and over again. I'm sorry but my online time is precious and important and I will not waste it on a conservative white or black. I just get so tired and people don't get why I block

I don't engage racists on this board unless it is to make fun of their basic thought processes. They know what they are saying but don't want to accept the racist label.
