A BLACK MAN carrying a protest sign and a white man in an Eagles jersey stood on Pattison Avenue last night, debating race in America as cops, fans and protesters mixed together all around them.

The Eagles had just lost to the Seattle Seahawks - and minutes earlier, hundreds of protesters had lain across Broad and Pattison, a "die-in" to remember the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in Staten Island, and to raise awareness, they said, of social inequality.

The black man - Bernard Lambert, 43, of Delaware County - carried a sign that read, "No Justice. No Peace. No Racist Police." He was trying to make the white man in a Brian Dawkins jersey understand that life was different for him because of skin color.

“He was trying to make the white man in a Brian Dawkins jersey understand that life was different for him because of skin color.”

I’m sure the white man understood that while he going to be getting up for work tomorrow, the community organizers would still be sleeping for another four or five hours before heading down to McD’s with their EBT cards for “breckfuss”...

The proper approach would be to ask the “black” man, how he came to accept this knowledge as reality.

Most people (demonstrators and politicians immediately come to mind) do things that are EASY . Only a few these days (read entrepreneurs, professionals, blue collar workers, etc.) take on and accomplish the HARD issues of life. Once I learned this, I was able to understand why the world is like it is. It’s that simple.

LOL. From the way the game went yesterday, I think the team joined in the “die in”.

Option 3: bring in the German Shepherds to open the road. Broad St is a major thoroughfare in Philly.

ONLY because they choose to make it different. We’re not the ones forcing them to wear their pants down below their butt.

If they had half a brain they would be doing this in front of abortion clinic and democratic party headquarters.

And as long as he lives his life that way it will be that way.

President Obama and the Democrats are loving this.
All these silly pople are taking attention away from the failed policies and lack of leadership that actually got us to this point. So nw instead of the President and his political party being responsible for the ills of America it is our poluce officers that are the center of attention.
FOOLs.............

“breckfuss”

I think Philly pronunciation is "breasfes". Plural is "breasfeses". I know because I axed.

Option 3: Take one pissed off Texas rattle snake and gently toss into the crowd. Repeat as necessary.
