Although I think it's dangerous for us to assume racism is gonna die off with the older generation, there's a lot of truth in that. In many ways the prejudices they tried to pass on to their children just didn't stick, same reason nobody's really crying about gays in the military anymore.

There will ALWAYS be pockets of prejudice... haters and bigots whose own sense of self worth is derived from the demonization of minorities and those of other faiths.

Bullshit—those weren’t the elderly bearing torches and screaming ‘Jews will not replace us’ in Charlottesville, nor was Dylann Roof even middleaged. Not so much truth in what you say...
How could someone with such a vocabulary rely on such an unintelligible fallacy? I wasn't aware that "Dylan Roof" was an entire demographic, silly me thinking it was one person. And I'll see your Charlottesville and raise you a failed white nationalist rally that turned out dozens being drowned out by counter protestors that numbered in the hundreds.
The old racists are dying, as a black man it'd be silly of me to not be cognizant of this new breed of racists, but thus far they're mostly hot air and are less sincerely racist and moreso gullible pawns of a government that preys on their legitimate fears and concerns and convinces them that it's all the fault of Mexican rapists and ghetto welfare queens. Not entirely the same thing as the "Come here boy, you listen when a white man is talkin" older generation that's dying at a pleasant rate.
But thanks for playing.
They can do what ever they want, they have and will always mean nothing to me. They get paid millions of dollars to play a game, in stadiums mostly paid for by tax payers, and a good portion of players are huge scum balls that have criminal records, but because they play a game the justice system goes easy on them half the time.
It's so funny to see people get mad over something like kneeling when there are plenty of other things to be mad about.

That's what makes the racism of this all the more obvious. Colin has a squeaky clean record, and he spends his free time doing charity work, and yet he's public enemy number one in a league full of violent criminals, party boys and drug/alcohol addicts.
Some people are just annoyed that they have to hear/see the whole thing. No side in the argument is innocent, some people are racists, some are mad about disrespect( if people died for their country so people can protest however they want, then why be mad / blind loyalty to anything is bad), some of the players are bad people, some cops are bad people, and some civilians are bad people.
I don't allow the rich and/or famous tell me how to think.

What kind of disgusting person is "tired of hearing about state-sanctioned murder?" Only in a white supremacist culture is "I just don't wanna hear about it anymore" considered as if not more valid than "We are tired of living it."
Uh, one side is righteous the other is evil. Period.
Irrelevant.
You're not making the point you think you're making. But next time a black man is gunned down by police I volunteer you to meet his family at the morgue so as they fall apart having to identify the body of their loved one you can comfort them with your wise words that "Hey, some people are assholes." I advise you to duck immediately.
Of all the pathetic reasons to opt out of protesting injustice, this is the pathetickest. Rejecting knowledge because the person speaking it owns a Bentley is self-serving hypocrisy.
I don't need famous people to tell me how to think, and if someone gets shot and killed because they were doing something wrong then they deserved it, if they were innocent then that's murder, and the offender should be tortured slowly to death.
Also if the scum ball players are going to do bad things, and then try to act like they're so great and righteous, then the entire argument is cheapened, its ignore the bad stuff I do, but if they do bad stuff its wrong.
Also you have stopped viewing individuals and only see groups, most groups can not judged like individuals they must be broken down into the individuals that compose them

This confirms that you aren't listening. Wouldn't you rather learn than speak from a place of ignorance?.
We'll settle for prison, the goal is for police to not use us for target practice in the first place.
Colin is not a scumbag, and even if a scumbag says "police brutality is wrong," they're right.
Black people aren't the ones denying police individuality, it's the other way around.
I'm not ready to give you a gold medal in the Missing the Point Olympics, but you're a serious contender.
It's not an insult nor is it intended to hurt, just calling a spade a spade. You don't know what you're talking about, that much is obvious. So if you want to ignore the systematic extermination of black men that's your right, but don't be fake and blame it on bad athletes or whatever the fuck, just state that you don't care and move on. Your need to explain it only hints that perhaps you feel a tinge of guilt about knowing it's happening and not caring.
Do you actually think I care? Your opinion of me or anything else means nothing, because you are nothing to me. Guilt? Because you can't even understand an "Us vs Them" argument? Or the fact I don't care, because the world is full of problems?
You stated that you don't, listed several reasons why. Then I expressed disgust at your apathy. How could I mistake "I don't give a fuck?" it's pretty transparent.
I know, we've already been over "You don't care about black men." There's no confusion here.
This is why nobody's earned a national holiday in quite a long time. The earth is simply overrun with unremarkable men who are just kind of wafting around in the breeze taking advantage of freedoms paid for by men they couldn't dream of measuring up to.
This culture of leeches is despicable, but not at all surprising. However for you to have the audacity to challenge a man who is infinitely more principled than you is obnoxious beyond the telling of it. And then to give piss-poor reasoning such as "He's rich" to boot. If you don't have conviction, you forfeit the right to criticize those who do.
