“My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,” Berry explained. “I’m here to represent those … who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part.”
Specifically? She offered no specifics. But would she include the 650,000 Civil War dead in response to systemic racism? How about the hundreds of urban blacks annually murdered by urban blacks, murders met with silence by those otherwise decrying unspecified systemic racism?
And a disproportionate number of attacks on American urban Asians and ultra-orthodox Jews are being committed by whom, white supremacists? Or a larger than normal percentage of those crimes committed by other minorities?
Yet she’s the latest to let us know that the United States is an irredeemably, insufferably racist country. Her proof? She cited the third stanza of the national anthem for its open-to-interpretation reference to slavery.

The excerpted part is applauded.
I wonder how this would be covered today
Final Minute of the “Miracle on Ice”

3rd stanza? She knows the anthem better than the rest of us.
Does it occur to her that she’s not good enough to compete? Kapernick wasn’t.
There’s enough pressure to perform without creating one’s own distractions. Just ask anyone who can’t get it up.
Somebody or other will be singing the Black National Anthem in DC today.
I’m trying to figure out this whole systemic racism thing. If you watch TV commercials (and programs) every black man is married to a white wiman, every black woman is married to a white man, they all live in upper middle class neighborhoods and drive either a Lexus, Mercedes or Jaguar. So......I’m confused......where is racism?
I finally understand the tenants of Critical Race Theory (CRT). Wikipedia was no help. Their description of CRT is sheer intellectual drivel. It makes no common sense. So here is my common sense approach to understanding CRT.
CRT is really an explanation of why minorities as a group, principally blacks, do not excel economically in the society of American opportunity. Economic failure results in a host of other societal ills, such as criminal activity. CRT believes that all racial groups are equally capable on an even playing field and should perform equally to whites. They equate an uneven playing field to “white privilege”.
Upon examining the premise of equality of capability and the societal construct of the playing field, there are two possible conclusions, either the premise of equality of capability is false, or indeed the economic playing field is biased in favor of whites.
The elephant in the room says that much has been studied regarding the lesser innate intelligence of American blacks. The “Bell Curve” and other studied around the world have come to this conclusion. It does not mean the black Americans are less human or less valuable in the eyes of God. So I pose that the premise of equality of capability is false. Why should this not be possible? White men can’t jump.
The minority standing on the sideline only see the outcome of the creativity, dedication and hard work of those that choose to compete. He assumes that all those people have succeeded with capabilities similar to his. This is an error. But his conclusion is that the playing field must be tipped in favor of the whites. What to do?
The best revenge for minorities against White Privilege is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the "playing field" is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.
The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned businesses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.
Minorities will never find a solution in expecting whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don't even see the blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the whites to play?
Just step on the field and compete! Or don't. It’s up to you. But don't blame it on whites if you can't.
I've also notice if there's a white male/black female couple, she's in charge and the dude is kind of a goofball.
Because no one will sell them a Kia or Hyundai because they are black!
OBSESSION. AND! I’m sick of it! These people are NOT content to live there own life. They seek power to impose on your life. That is where they meet me, and I tell them to leave me alone and let me live my life(what little there is left of it). THAT! Is what is called “LIBERTY”! AND! It is the WHOLE point of the 4th of July! I celebrate liberty! They seek to impose their obsessions upon individual liberty.
But…it systemic! SYSTEMIC!!!!
/sarcasm
They introduced a lot of feminism the same way, with a bunch of words put together that didn’t make any sense.
Marxism identity politics is being allowed to destroy every thing that americans can join together in.
This is 1000% deliberate.
There are even more major attacks coming. This is being done in advance to soften and distract.
This is to really undermine people being able to work together against a common enemy.
The other day Biden mentioned that 3 out of 5 couples in ad were mixed race and that it was deliberate. In other words all our media is a propaganda organ.
The fact that Shohei Ohtani is not a household name by now says it all about sports coverage in this country now.
“Do you believe in oppression and white privilege?....YES!!!”
WOW. How did she get appointed to her 'mission'?
She is a hammer thrower, and she throws it well enough to come in THIRD PLACE in a series of trials in a single country.
There is a very good chance that she'll never see the stage in the Olympics, but if she does, when does the 'mission' kick in?
If she wants to make a point about 'those who die due to systemic racism' she could get a chain and wrap it around her neck and drag the hammer through the streets of Tokyo.
That would get attention.
Self centered bitch.
