The Kennesaw Five cheerleaders who were banished from the football field at Kennesaw State during the playing of the national anthem after kneeling during the song in late September will be back in front of fans starting Saturday.

As for the reasons behind the protest, cheerleader Shlondra Young told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, We kneel for equality. We kneel to highlight social injustice and to highlight police brutality and kneel in honor for those who unjustly lost their lives and for those who could not kneel for themselves. We kneel in a city where a Confederate culture still exists amongst some and issues like this are placed on the back burner.

Newton told Yahoo Sports he felt 40 to 45 percent of the campus agreed with the protest, including some faculty. Professors at our school do not like our president right now, he said.
There was even a wave of drama when a student in the school mascot uniform kneeled during a rally. As a student, sure, Ehrhart told the Marietta Daily Journal. But with respect to utilizing the schools mascot, thats inappropriate.

Everybody still loves Scrappy, Newton said. People didnt agree when he took a knee, but at the end of the day, no one is saying Boycott Scrappy.

Monkey see, monkey do. Even the “cheerleaders” want to get into the act. They’ve gone “full retard”.

I would like to see one shred of evidence that President Trump is racist.
They don’t like President Trump because they think he’s racist, they dislike him because he is 180º from their world view. What they think is right, he thinks is wrong and vice versa. Remember when even Trump’s name chalked on Georgia college sidewalk was cause for campus counseling sessions?
The only fix weve heard is the preposterous call for all white people to bequeath their estates to black people and disown their kids. Giving a can of gasoline to an arsonist is not a good idea.
I think this whole this is way past its prime and is starting to fade away. Theyve worn out their welcome and are stinking like week-old fish left on the counter.
You’re exactly right. They’ve worn out their welcome.
No group of people in the USA has been propped up more than blacks over the last 50 years. They’ve been shown preference for jobs and entry into universities but what do they do? Continue to fail and complain.
We have people that come to the USA from Latin America, India, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc., etc., and they all have success that exceeds blacks that have been here for much longer. Many of these people cannot even speak English when they arrive here but still find ways to have great success.
I am past tired of the excuse making for their continued failures. They need to be held responsible for their own failures.
Or someone who got schlonged!
but once they started rioting, forgetaboutit....
they've rode the same pony for several decades now....
I've been done with it for a long time...
I generally like everybody...
and we all get along pretty well don't we....
but this constant grandstanding is just too much to take anymore...
2 reasons, I was told my some of my black students.
1. Its a combination of baby momma and baby daddy names
2. To be unique.
I love black people too. We’re told to love our neighbor.
I go to church with some blacks that are some of the best people you could meet. These families do things the right way.
It’s a shame that the majority of them don’t do things the right way. Basics like thou shalt not steal ... thou shalt not kill ... thou shalt not covet .... love thy neighbor ...... etc., would go a long way if more would take them under consideration.
I certainly dont disagree with anything you said. I got to the end of the one thought and decided that brevity might help the letter get published. It didnt.
My sister teaches at an almost all-black inner city private school that focuses on helping at risk kids succeed. She tells me that Africans she knows are absolutely appalled at poor American blacks and they deeply resent American blacks’ attempts to associate themselves with Africa. The Africans are appalled at American inner city black disrespect, criminality, failure to achieve, inability to speak properly, violence, lack of family structure...all the same things we find abhorrent.
Wait, now we never hear from the ones who keep their mouths shut and do their jobs. They are restricted from speaking out just as we are restricted from speaking out. It’s easy to overgeneralize from the highly distorted lens of the media. We are over exposed to the malcontents. Hence the negro fatigue people are experiencing.
>>I certainly dont disagree with anything you said. I got to the end of the one thought and decided that brevity might help the letter get published. It didnt.
Sadly, its a thought that could have been explained with brevity 70 years ago. Maybe even 30 years ago. But today, it is lost on a culture of prosperity, greed, and envy. Most Americans aren’t pioneers anymore. They would doom an expedition by starting out scheming like they are the actors on Survivor.
And I’m talking about people of both ends of the political spectrum. The only difference is in how they phrase their appeals to the others to sacrifice for them.
Oh Dear Lord!
Re #22: A** should be “as”
Sorry! Sticky keyboard!
They are not giving their children a chance in the workplace.
I once read an article where a baby girl was named "Urethra." That's the ticket to success, Mom! Unbelievable.
Interesting how Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, etc. have normal first names. They also happen to be quite successful in their respective positions. (btw, I was a Herman Cain supporter and love Dr. Sowell's articles, etc.)
On July 4 we recognize the Declaration of Independence defining the American Dream as inalienable natural rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution establishes a government embodying these rights by promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty.
Whatever the Constitution further defines relies upon natural human rights independent of and superior to any government construction. They are intangible property sourced in opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only by application of these inherent rights can one truly possess material things.
The American Dream never meant government largess ensuring college funds, retirement accounts, savings, affordable health care, home ownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.
Politicians become patricians offer enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to administrative laws and regulations vastly increasing their power. Their legislation and rules negate our Bill of Rights confiscating intangible human freedoms for these apparitions.
Such devices are the soft underbelly of our Constitution. Under English Common Law, basic to our Constitution, a person is innocent and not subject to the penalties of law until proved guilty. Administrative laws and regulations, like Roman Civil Law, subject people to government penalties and restrictions until they find legal means to extricate themselves.
People now routinely make unconscious Faustian like bargains to exchange their human essence for illusions of material comfort. However, true freedom requires uncompromising adherence to American ideals of inherent, intangible natural rights.

Sorry but MOST of these girls probably do NOT know who the father is!!
It is funny how many black people from former English or French colonies seem fine having 100% English or French names. Bob Marley and Thierry Henry seem(ed) content with their non-African names.
