Student athletes at the University of Tennessee announced a march this week to call attention to institutionalized racism

Literally everything the media, schools, the Democrat party, and their government bureaucrats tell us about race in America is wrong.
Not only is it wrong, but the truth is almost always exactly 180 degrees opposite.
I think it’s funny that all these people who are marching are saying that America is racist doesn’t that mean that they are calling themselves racists?
I suppose it would be too much to ask these university students to define institutional racism and give concrete examples of its existence?
I’d like to see a good definition of “institutionalized racism”.
Like most, no, make that pretty much all things touted by literals, there’s much verbal masturbation, but no intellectual content.
I’m sure this is coming to UF as well.
Screw it, I’m done.
My, my. Arent we being trendy today?
“to call attention to racism”
Up until this march occurs, I will have never known about racism, much less that it existed. Thank you, kids, for bringing it to my attention. What would we have done without you?
I'm not surprised though. The colleges are the farm teams for the pros....gotta do what the big man tells you.
These “protests” are well organized PR campaigns.
These communities have been organized.
Probably by our former president who was a community organizer.
That is the impression I get also. How else do you get 200 college kids to show up, on time, in the same place, wearing the same outfit?
Cancel the Football Season at UT.
Kick Student Athletes off their Scholarships.
Fire the Coaches and AD.
I hope all of these college athletes refuse to play EVER AGAIN...! Get out of our sight and stop riding on scholarships when you are not serious students.
Glory, glory hallelujah....the end of college sports !!!!
Who cares? Let them become responsible adults like the rest of us instead of spoiled, big, whining babies !
They of course will educate you by claiming that ‘more black people are arrested in certain areas than white people’
But what they won’t admit to is that more black people are committing crimes in those areas because those areas are mostly black people, with very few white folks living there, and they won’t point out the fact that black crime is higher than white crime on average
There was that law that Joe Biden helped pass that made dealing in crack cocaine a greater felony than dealing in the more refined powdered cocaine.
But I heard that disparity was corrected recently championed by some guy named Trump.
Of the 200 in matching shirts, how many paid for their own shirt, how many are on scholarships, how many on Federally funded financial aid and how many would gladly share their GPA for being awarded and keeping those scholarships.. I hope patriotic alums will stop this nonsense.
i don’t mind know-it-all young people marching for causes they get all wrapped up in emotionally- what I do mind is the many folks in America, who are grown up, and supposed to be mature, buying into this lie-
Kids who are idealists are one thing, but folks are supposed to grow put of idealism, and become at least partially objective, when they grow up, and look at facts, not base their opinions on emotionalism- But sadly, too many ‘adults’ these days have never grown out of their idealism, and won’t look at cold hard facts- but rather react by emotions only-
George Floyd killed himself, that is a fact that is emerging with overwhelming evidence to support that fact- but sadly too many ‘adults’ won’t let go of their emotionally driven hatred of white folks, of police, to admit the facts-
Kids in their teens and early 20’s always let hteir emotions rule and blind them to facts- but adults should know better- Sadly many don’t today-, and the problem is getting much much worse than it used to be-
My guess is that the vast majority of those athletes might try reading a book.
Even if it is “Dick and Jane”.
“call attention to racism”
These kooks were born 60 years too late. They would have enjoyed marching in Selma or on Washington DC back in the day when racism was real and a serious problem.
Why aren’t these 300 or 400 people committing to work in a ghetto for 8 hours every Saturday for the next two months? They could effect REAL CHANGE by helping the poor. They could tutor kids, babysit, run errands, take people to medical care, arrange for dental care, conduct food drives, clean up neighborhoods, and show people how to lift themselves up.
Nope, much easier to march for an hour and be done with it...and NOT have to spend one minute in a black ghetto.
Damn lazy and worthless virtue-signalers.
NONE,NONE,NONE of any of this Floyd,Blake and the other bullsh*t had anything to do with racism. Irony is lots of racism from the Antifa and BLM (mostly WHITE) a-holes who routinely use slurs to blacks.
