One of the WNBA’s most prominent voices wants her league to consider the place of women in America at the birth of the country before agreeing to wear a celebratory jersey patch.

Aces forward Brianna Turner, the players association treasurer, balked at the idea that WNBA All-Stars should wear the “USA 250” patch on their jerseys that other professional sports leagues have adopted to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th birthday.

Al Sharpton and the late Jesse Jackson

Yup...I’ve posted this several times. Only recently have I become at least slightly familiar with this thoughts and writings. What little I know about him suggests that he was a thoughtful,upright man fully worthy of study and respect.

In addition, another appropriate response to the 250 patches would be to reduce all WNBA salaries to minimum wage...

“Up From Slavery” should be required reading in every school.

It was a Republican President, and thousands of white men who fought and died that freed your sorry ancestor’s asses. Have you thanked a Republican today?

Yup...a few years back I saw a file on the FBI's website with a detailed analysis of trans racial murder. The nationwide stats indicated that a murder victim was almost always killed by someone of his/her race. It contained figures showing that it was rare for a white to be murdered by a black and *extremely* rare for a black to be murdered by a white.

I've seen it written many times that murder victims almost always are at least acquainted with their killer.

“Like other major sports leagues, we are exploring how best to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary,” the WNBA said in a statement to USA Today.

The WNBA considers itself a major sports league? Now that's funny!

[TheThirdRuffian]

Ask her to name another country that fought a war against itself to free slaves.

Answer: none.

[Vesuvian]

Yet another reason not to watch!

[ladyjane]

many “white folk” died for the cause.

Many "black folk" sold their fellow blacks into slavery. It wasn't the white folk who did that.

[algore]

Never heard of her, but she sounds really intelligent while dribbling memorized lines for the play

[Drew68]

Turner has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and equality, and specifically for transgender women in women’s sports.

To be fair, a bunch of troons in the league would make the WNBA more entertaining.

[boycott]

Nobody watches that useless bs anyway.

Brianna Turner should take it up with her ancestors that thought nothing more of them than slaves.

[God luvs America]

break out the green dildos....

[SkyDancer]

Maybe she should blame Democrats and the UK and leave the US out of it.

Whites are 46X more likely to be the victim of a violent crime by a Black offender than Blacks being the victim of a White Offender

That's not what the table shows. Blacks are 46x more likely to be the perpetrator against whites than whites are against blacks.

If 60% of the population is white and 13% is black (I guessed), then whites would be a bit more than 2x more likely to be the victim.

Raw numbers:
Total population: 300M (another guess)
Black population: 180M
White population: 39M
Black on White crimes: 404,820 (1038/100k*39M) White on Black crimes: 40,680 (22.6/100k*180M) Black on White per 100k victims: 224.9 404,820/180M*100k White on Black per 100k victims: 104.3 40,680/39M*100k

Maybe someone should remind this Brianna broad of the 600,000 mostly white men who died from combat and disease in the following century liberating the Negro.

Love that quote.

[newfreep]

The table is a “per capita” rate...

[WASCWatch]

Her ancestors were not “sorry asses”. They were victims; freed by the Republican Party.
