Huffington Post Goes Mental and Equates Patriotism with White Supremacy and Ignorance
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 09/29/2017 6:00:53 AM PDT by davikkm

HuffPo has run a headline saying: “White Athletes Still Standing For The Anthem Are Standing For White Supremacy.” The writer, Jesse Benn goes on to explain that those white athletes who don’t join their teammates in “taking a knee” are not only advocates for White Supremacy, but that they are also “ignorant.” But here’s the deal, this is part of a larger goal to make patriotism unpopular and to love your country a sign of bigotry.

Benn may not actually be aware that he is floating an agenda for the destruction of nation states, but then “useful idiots” are just that: idiots. In what universe does he suppose that a media and leftist sanctioned form of protest is the only acceptable form of protest? And, of course, how does he square the circle in deciding that something for which there is very little evidence (institutionalized racism) should be protested without being investigated?

Remember—When they call you a racist, you know they’ve lost the argument.

Does this writer call anyone out by name?

I’d sue for defamation.

I didn’t read the whole article. Assume (s)he and editors are smart enough not to associate names with such an inflammatory accusation

And those kneeling are supporting BLM, anti-white racism and are anti-American.

If standing for the anthem and flag means I am white supremacist, so be it. Yay white folks! We’re number 1!

HP should buy every one of the players a ticket back to Africa and make sure they use it.

Keep it up, lobbies; that’ll surely play in Peoria.

In one sense the BLM is becoming successful - increasing racial hostility and division, which I’m convinced is it’s designated purpose.

Well, I never knew I was a racist until their “black messiah” said I was one because I was born white. With that said, I’ll be standing patriotically during the Anthem and Pledge. IF these jackasses don’t like it, let em move to a country that is supremely ruled by blacks. I would suggest Zimbabwe as a starter.....just don’t ever come back.

The left wingers, the Clintons, the Obamas, the MSM Mediots, the NFL owners and their slave thugs and our Rinos are driving more people to join the 62+ million MAGA voters.

That patriotism is racist, etc. just might be the narrative that the democrats had planned to roll out after Hillary’s win in order to rationalize her de-construction of the United States.

Now they do it as a desperate strategy to stop Trump.

No pic of Obama, who started it all, by not facing the music, and with his hands crossed?

Richardson and Hillary got it right, but are probably waffling today.

“White Athletes Still Standing For The Anthem Are Standing For White Supremacy.”

We're not supreme, just a bit superior. Let's admit it and move on!

Yeah, it's the same flag that defeated the Confederacy and ended slavery. White Supremacy. Right.

Just when you think these people can't get any more insane- they get more insane.

Everything that Trump does is racist, and all that follow him are racist. Dog whistle racism, institutional racism, de facto racism. Cnn constantly declares that since whites are becoming the “minority” they are in a panic, trying to maintain control, etc. Since when are; pride in the country, your family, your church considered racist? Since when is working for a living and trying to protect what’s yours considered racist. Since when is trying to make yourself a better person considered racist? I’m really beginning to hate the open mouthed people of this country. I don’t believe I’ve ever been racist...but over the course of the last 9 years, I’m pretty close to being one. Anyway, why not, I am viewed as a racism by virtue of being a white male, may as well act on it. It’s to the point that when I see a protected class, I sneer at them, look in judgement, laugh at them, I mean, this is more a cultural superiority rather than racism anyway. Get a fricken job, quit making babies, shut your fricken mouths, stop shooting each other, quit accepting free handouts, or just expire or move back to your native land.

Excellent points.

Everything our side does to improve themselves, make their families safer, to attending church and being patriotic is racist in their eyes.

$crew them, we know who the real racist and nazis are, the liberals claiming we are.
