Lets try this again. This is fantastic:
https://www.fox61.com/article/sports/ncaa/big-east-men-and-womens-basketball-teams-to-wear-blm-patches-for-2020-2021-season/520-58b82fc6-908d-44c5-a151-5628ddd795b9
The effort to get the patches on the jerseys was spearheaded by Coaches for Action (CFA), which is a coalition of 21 BIG EAST ethnic minority men's assistant coaches. It was formed to "raise awareness in the fight against racism and to develop a sustainable action plan to dismantle prejudice, discrimination, and oppression in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and minoritized communities. The organization says coaches will wear BLM pins."
-
Proud of the Big East, and of my alma mater. Especially proud of the dedicated, hard-working Marquette athletes who realize that life is bigger than basketball, and even bigger than themselves.
Black Lives Matter. We Are Marquette!
-
Makes me proud to be associated with Marquette and the Big East.
-
I'm down with the slogan, BLM. Always have been. In fact, words have meanings, so All Lives Matter.
BLM Inc. can crash and slow burn in hell, aina?
-
All Lives Matter.
Is that the racist All Lives Matter movement that doesn't at all recognize the "prejudice, discrimination, and oppression in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and minoritized communities" face?
If you don't capitalize it, I can agree, all lives matter. But you really just brought that up to make this political again, didn't you?
-
why do we need another thread on this

I though maybe people would be happy to voice their support for the team since I had to lock the other thread.
Yes, this will probably have to be locked too soon enough.

The BE continues to be a leader in the basketball world. They are on the right side of history. Proud of Marquette’s role in helping to spearhead this group of assistant coaches.
Black Lives Matter. And guess what, saying that doesn’t even mean other lives don’t matter, or even that other lives don’t matter as much! What it means is black lives haven’t been treated as though they’ve mattered throughout the history of this country. It’s time for that to change! As those who feel the need to say “All Lived Matter” every time someone says “Black Lives Matter” get old and leave this earth, equality will have a chance to be attained in this country. Until then, people in a place of privilege will try to hold onto that with everything they can.

This is widely known to be a tactic used by racists to minimize the "Black" in Black Lives Matter.
-
All Lives Matter.
Unfortunately, this historically and up to the present has not been the case in this country.
Which is the point of #blacklivesmatter.
Don't be so fragile and don't make everything about you.

We wouldn’t have to have this argument if racism was dead in this country and we lived in a society where equality was true for all. It isn’t. I’m proud of the men representing Marquette and fighting for equality for all people.

Well, if that’s the case, I think we should ignore it here. I’ll send an email to Theo John

Here’s a question. Would everyone be OK if MU basketball put Make America Great Again on their uniforms? As long as everyone was clear that it’s not Trump’s MAGA slogan, but just literally an attempt to make America better? Who would disagree with making America great? OR would some say that the words are too linked to Trump and are inseparable from his platform?
-
Wow.
-
Great, another thread today for the woke to feel great about themselves as they solve this problem themselves in their own echo chamber. The first one apparently wasn't enough as there was some dissent on the topic.
Rocky, I took care not to insult the group so you hopefully won't ban me like you have others today, unless woke is now an insult.
Please enjoy this clip as you pat each other on the back for all the good you think you are doing for the world. Your efforts are laughable by the people you claim to be supporting because they can see right through it.

At least learn how to call them by their correct name if you're going to call them out as racist. That would be Mexican. Yes of course racism and racist people exist all over the world. Does that mean we should tolerate it? I'm proud of MU and what the BE is doing. Unfortunately there seem to be too many people here that are uncomfortable when reality is called out. They rather live in their own comfortable little privileged safe space. I guess they didn't learn crap about the true Jesuit mission.

Odd that hundreds of thousands of brown people try to immigrate into America legally (or illegally) given all of this stated "prejudice, discrimination, and oppression." Why do you think so many try to immigrate here?
This is 2020, not 1965. Affirmative action was implemented some time ago. There are grants and loans available for minorities only to start businesses. America has elected a Black President.
Pounding the narrative of America being oppressive to people of color in this day and age is suspect at best, given the millions of thriving "brown" immigrants in America today.

Why most come because there is basically a fake narrative that the US is perfect and that they will be treated fairly. Many risk their lives to send meager illegal wages to their families. Some flee for their lives due to violence. But there is this thought that no matter what, you can succeed in the US. Lots of fantastic narratives make their way down towards the South. The oppression of minorities in the US is very real.

Depends on beers available.

Sorry, your post was a lame deflection. The fact that there is ethnic discrimination south of the border is wholly irrelevant to a discussion of racial discrimination in the United States.
-

Because they're poor and hungry.
People would rather face discrimination than starvation and death. That was true of the Irish and Italians in the 19th century and it's true of people across the globe today.
Way to set the bar high.

So you're going with the inequality in this country is actually against WHITE people?
Lol. Ignorance is bliss.

It's odd, but I read Elon's post several times and did not get this impression. You see when you always look at things through the lens of race, guess what, you always see race. As a suggestion, you might want to change your glasses or at the very least, sometimes look at life without glasses on.

Great clip, thank you.
The message is very, very difficult to convey because our society is segregated.
The white liberal is living in a theory, but not living in a real world. They mean well, but don't have a clue.
I worked for 25 years in an office which was half Afro-American.
Some people in the office liked me some didn't, l liked some people and didn't care for some people. There were white people who didn't mix well with other white people, some blacks who didn't mix with other Afro-Americans very well.
I live in a very segregated town, perhaps one or two Afro-American families. The well meaning liberal/progressives have no idea what being black, acting black, being a conservative black, being a southern black, or a racist black, or a black muslim, or a black intelectual, or a black dreadlock wearing person is about. Why? Because we are segregated.
Therefore, they just see color, not the person, because they don't know any real, live, feeling, working, playing, laughing, crying, black people.
The military, the post office, the hospital, the government, sports is where we have integration.
I love the white guys who say, why don't the brothers act more white?
I wish we would all say, why don't we all act more human.
And BTW, cops who shoot unarmed people are nothing more than thugs, bullies, and cowards.
Cops who drive around with laydown weapons are criminals.
Cops who kill people in custody are criminals. A disproportinate number of these atrocities happen to black people, that is why BLM..........

White fragility on full display here on Scoop.
Maybe these players should have attended a different school. Significant portions of our alumni base have ridiculed and misrepresented something that is important to them, instead of trying to understand further.

I'll swing by with a large bucket, r.c.
Maybe we can be joined by a few of our "Afro-American" friends, who no doubt feel great about racism being cured because "America has elected a Black President."
Not sure I'll feel like socializing, though. As a middle-aged white man in America, I am very depressed due to the oppression we all face every day. For hundreds and hundreds of years in this country, the white man hasn't been able to get a single break.
Ners has it right. Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle-class and white.

Ahh the whole “I don’t see color” thing. Nice.
He straight up talked about grants that people of color can get. So hey look, not only is this not 1965 anymore, we’ve come so far that black people get things white people can’t. It’s crazy how well we treat minorities in this country!
But he said nothing about race. :o

are the only black lives that matter to black lives that matter which to me questions their sincerity that all black lives do matter. I wish it were so.

Who says that only black lives matter?
The problem, as I see it, is that blacks are being killed by police more than white people. Adjust for anything, demographics, class, per capita, and black people are disproportionally killed more.
Now if the police start killing white people, unarmed white people, things might change. Until then, which would be another totalitarian issue, BLM. The fact that I even wrote that comment is embarrissing and very sad.
There are many issues on the table this year. Getting the criminal justice system under control is a priority.
No justice no peace is the mantra.
So the future is civil unrest or change and peace. I may have to become an expatriate.

But seriously, what was racist about the post you quoted?

This was not remotely the point being made, yet you through your infinite ability to always see things through the wrong lens (much like your hot takes on Wojo taking MU to Duke-like success by Year 5) you once again have.
An oppressive, discriminatory country, would not offer incentives/loan programs to minorities, implement affirmative action, nor would it have millions of people of color thriving.
I've started a business, hired hundreds of people during that time, and hired many people of color. Yet, clowns like you, 82, Pak, Fluffy, and the rest of the "woke" whites toss around accusations of someone being racist because they share a different viewpoint.
Your side wants doesn't think POC can succeed in this country due to this climate of oppression, discrimination, etc. You want to perpetuate that belief among minorities, instead of pointing toward all of the examples of those thriving, and opportunities available to them. Why?
-

"White fragility" is racist. This world has a racist problem but it is not an evil unique to white people. Maybe I'm different since I work and are friends with people of different races and see how there is racist everywhere.
Police kill more white people than any other race. And yes, black people are more likely to be killed per capita than whites, which is horribly wrong. Any life lost is a tragedy.
In short, white people are not the problem, racist are and they are spreed across the racial platform.

White fragility isn't a racist statement. It describes the defensiveness that some white people engage in when talking about race.
Again, you label it as "racist," and ironically engage in more fragile behavior, instead of confronting the issues at hand. Very telling.

Yes, but not driving while black. Not trying to make a few dollard selling cigarettes one at a time to poor people. Not trying to get a good nights sleep before you go back to EMT Covid work, or not as a kid playing with your toy gun. Please change the law on police immunity, don't change the subject to business opportunity.

I think it is clear from your statements that you have, in my opinion, questionable opinions about race. If that makes you a racist or not, I don't really know. I just know that I find your statements are at best bizarre and at worst disturbing.

Solid post. Perhaps one day soon we will see some woke Black professor author a book on Black Fragility. Some Asian professor offer up a book on Asian Fragility. A Hispanic professor author a book on Hispanic Fragility. An Indian professor author a book on Indian Fragility.
I look forward to those forthcoming works, and will then dive into all of the Fragility books so I can better understand fragility from the perspective of the liberal mind.
BTW - It is true more Blacks are killed by police per capita than whites. However, Blacks also comprise only 13% of the population yet commit 39% of violent crime. Perhaps this 3x over-indexing of violence is why some police are more wary when encountering Blacks. You'd like to think that wouldn't impact behavior, yet it seems it may.
It would be constructive for BLM to begin to discuss and try to find solutions to reduce the violent crime rate perpetrated by Blacks, just as police departments are attempting to improve their culture and implement more training.

FIRST THINGS FIRST, let's change the police culture, the police immunity laws, the police unions, then we can address the other issues.
Are we saying that we will hand out a few jobs to keep blacks quiet and continue to kill them with impunity? That is what BLM is about. It isn't aboud affirmative action, desegration of schools,
better housing, clean water, or the right to vote.
-
Like I said, ignorance is bliss.

Just plain ignorant.
What rules are in place to suppress the chances of success for minorities? Also, how much money have you put into the pockets of minorities through creating jobs? What are you doing to improve the quality of life for POC, besides being a loudmouth on a message board? Knowing you aren't an entrepreneur, what percentage of your income/salary are you donating to minority charities/causes/communities?
Talk is cheap, but it is typically all a lightweight has to offer.

I have no issues to confront. I was raised to respect everyone of any color or race.

Reread the post. You’re so hellbent on telling yourself it’s not your problem that you get so excited to make a counterpoint that matches exactly what I said.
Because you have black friends, black employees, black teammates, etc. does not mean you can’t be a racist.
But hey, a lot of people being “cancelled” by the Me Too movement hire females. They can’t be sexist or harass females, they’re giving females a living!
Get a clue.

I wouldn't call it fragility. I'd call it incredulousness. I am astounded when I encounter idiocy. Unfortunately, there is so much of it put forth here by you, Wades (BLM), MU82, Pakuni, Brewcity. A sampling:
- Guys who thought Derrick Wilson was a better PG option than Junior Cadougan.
- Guys who thought Wojo was the goods, and would lead us to Duke like success once he had "all his guys."
- Guys who thought Larry Williams was the sh$t, and didn't think he was running off Buzz.
- And now woke White "men" who ultimately submit to narratives put forth by radical groups such as BLM, without so much as questioning cause/effect nor being assertive enough to actually attempt to foster a two-sided debate. BLM wants nothing to do with having a real conversation about race in America.
-
I stand with Theo. And like he said, if you can't support him in this, don't bother supporting him on the court.
If you want to spew racist memes like All Lives Matter, go find yourself some other, more racist team and league to support.

You have an anti white agenda. I live in the real world of all races that is great but has some issues.
Every time you post here, you literally are proving Fluffy's point about white fragility.
The need to convince a bunch of anonymous internet people that you don't see color (a blatant lie ... we all see color). The insistence that you have no issues. The whataboutism. The deflection. The aggrievement.
These are the very elements of white fragility. You are the case study.

Only you in your small mind would perceive that statement in such a way. Or wait, Wades/BLM too.
Again, you, like BLM, don't want to have a conversation to foster progress. There is nothing "racist" about what I posted.

Do the lives of business owners on Michigan Ave. matter? Does the life of the Wendy's franchisee in Atlanta, whose store got burned down, matter? Or, is this just necessary destruction needed to facilitate the revolution? Hate has no home here, aina?

Why didn't you answer my questions? I'm curious per your statements.
- What rules are in place that suppress minorities being successful?
- How much of your income are you donating to help communities of color?

"White fragility" is racist. This world has a racist problem but it is not an evil unique to white people. Maybe I'm different since I work and are friends with people of different races and see how there is racist everywhere.
Police kill more white people than any other race. And yes, black people are more likely to be killed per capita than whites, which is horribly wrong. Any life lost is a tragedy.
In short, white people are not the problem, racist are and they are spreed across the racial platform.
Do you know what white fragility actually is, where the term comes from?
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/white-fragility?s=t
the tendency among members of the dominant white cultural group to have a defensive, wounded, angry, or dismissive response to evidence of racism.
I'm sure we can agree that this phenomenon exists. I'm not sure how it could be considered a racist term.
The term was first coined by Robin DeAngelo in 2011. I've read her book, I recommend it if you are curious to learn more.

Reread what I said and your first question is answered.
And I love that you and warriorpilot love to flaunt your donations lol. I bet it makes you feel great to donate money just so you can tell everyone how much money you donate. Those are the best kinds of people.

Do the lives of business owners on Michigan Ave. matter? Does the life of the Wendy's franchisee in Atlanta, whose store got burned down, matter? Or, is this just necessary destruction needed to facilitate the revolution? Hate has no home here, aina?
BLM is responsible for the looters but NRA is not responsible for the shooters, ai’na doc?

Every time you post here, you literally are proving Fluffy's point about white fragility.
The need to convince a bunch of anonymous internet people that you don't see color (a blatant lie ... we all see color). The insistence that you have no issues. The whataboutism. The deflection. The aggrievement.
These are the very elements of white fragility. You are the case study.
Thank you for making my point.
Also, I NEVER said I don't see color. That is a complete lie.

No they don't Doc.
What's odd is why the revolution feels it needs to destroy the property of people they don't even know. People that had nothing to do with the cause of their outrage.
If protestors really want to create change, and vent their frustrations, they should look no further than to their elected officials in their cities. Oddly, they vote those people in at a rate of 9 to 1. Cities are run by liberals. Minneapolis is among the most liberal cities in America, and there continue to be these incidents.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

There's no problem in Chicago or Portland. What you see on television is simply propaganda, hey?

Seems like a lot of people need a hug today.

If Black Lives Matter is responsible for the looting, conservatives are responsible for El Paso and Charlottesville.
Personally, I don't believe either are responsible for the criminal actions of unaffiliated parties, but if you insist on making such connections, make them both ways. Otherwise, you're just being a hypocrite.

I wouldn't call it fragility. I'd call it incredulousness. I am astounded when I encounter idiocy. Unfortunately, there is so much of it put forth here by you, Wades (BLM), MU82, Pakuni, Brewcity. A sampling:
- Guys who thought Derrick Wilson was a better PG option than Junior Cadougan.
- Guys who thought Wojo was the goods, and would lead us to Duke like success once he had "all his guys."
- Guys who thought Larry Williams was the sh$t, and didn't think he was running off Buzz.
- And now woke White "men" who ultimately submit to narratives put forth by radical groups such as BLM, without so much as questioning cause/effect nor being assertive enough to actually attempt to foster a two-sided debate. BLM wants nothing to do with having a real conversation about race in America.
This is where we're going now? From a guy who ...
- Thought that Magic Dawson was the PG answer for a high-major school.
- Thought that Magic Dawson was a better college basketball player than Rowsey.
- Insisted that a perfectly executed play that helped pull out a miracle victory was stupidly designed.
- Bragged that he knows more about basketball than anybody else because he allegedly dunked in a high school game.
- And now is an extremely un-woke and resentful racist who actually thinks Obama having been elected "proves" that there is no systemic racism in America.
Maybe launch into another diatribe about how all those filthy Black folks have made life unlivable for you, Ners. That one was particularly non-racist of you!
Black Lives Matter. We Are Marquette.

Go ahead and repost what you said, and how it answered the question. You put forth the statement that there are rules in place to suppress minorities success in this country. I want to know, what, specific rules those are.
I don't donate anything. Never said I did. But I at least put some money into the pockets of minorities through my business - which of course you tried to dismiss and ridicule. You? You haven't done that, and clearly, you aren't even donating any of your salary to causes/charities for communities of color. So, per usual, all you are is a blowhard loudmouth full of hot air and no substance.

Lol okay I will. Now maybe you’ll slow down and reread it? I know you’re all amped up to tell people you aren’t racist so you want to get typing. But what I said is the exact opposite of what you claim.
Thank you for your service though.
Seriously. What a clown lol.
Like I said, ignorance is bliss.
“I employed black people. I can’t be racist.”
“We have no rules in this country that suppress the chances of success for minorities. Racism doesn’t exist in this country!”
Just plain ignorant.

Happy Sunday everyone.
Despite any outrage, BE teams are still gonna wear the BLM patch. That's all. I feel sorry for you if you can't support it.
