What a shock it truly wasn't that one of the most warped recent examples of Trump Derangement Syndrome would be heard on a cable show hosted by Al Sharpton.
Former Chicago Bulls player Craig Hodges, author of "Long Shot: The Struggles and Triumphs of an NBA Freedom Fighter," appeared on Sharpton's PoliticsNation yesterday to talk about President Trump's criticism of NFL athletes for kneeling during the national anthem to protest perceived racial injustices.
What Hodges said about the president was over the top even by the inelegant standards of MSNBC's weekend programming:
SHARPTON: "Let me show you this tweet he just recently put up encouraging people to, he put it up a few minutes ago today, telling people don't go to the game. It says (quoting from the tweet), "If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!"
"So is he trying to kind of front-end or interfere with those that are boycotting on behalf of (NFL quarterback/free agent Colin) Kaepernick?"
HODGES: "Well, first of all, Rev. Al, I want to thank God for giving us the opportunity to wake up this morning and speak on behalf of our people, you know, and honestly speaking when I look at where we are right now, it's beyond us getting justice in America. It's absolutely time for the Congressional Black Caucus to call for human rights violations that have occurred, past and previously, you know, and I think right now it's a civil rights issue within the context of what President Trump said the other night and as far as hampering athletes to be able to employ or get employment or gain employment."
"And, you know, when I think about his whole thing is when was Amer-, make America great again. Now we see that 1817 is more likely when he's thinking about America being great as opposed to us kneeling on behalf of righteousness and justice, he wants us to be kneeling in the cotton fields again."
Lest anyone think he wasn't serious, Hodges then accused Trump of fomenting race war --
"But it's a different day in that we who are mindful we have to stand up and battle this thing and it can't be us in a war of words, of back and forth. No, it's about making moves, like I'm talking about, go to the World Court, reach outside of the nation for help from Brazil, Russia and China, India, South Africa, the BRICS nations who've made, invest in black people, because right now it's a standard that he has set where he's trying to set up race, a basic race war, and it's ugly, man. And then to hear him just to go off on black women and women should be outraged all over the planet earth."
Oh it's ugly all right, but we've come to expect no less on MSNBC. What made Hodge's remarks even shabbier was his invocation of the Almighty just before accusing Trump of wanting to enslave tens of millions of people across America. His years in the NBA presumably enabled Hodges to make that prodigious leap from righteous to unhinged.
was it my imagination or did the cowboys owner’s face suddenly get a bad look when the boo’s started coming down?
Oh? Just like the poor white share croppers?
If a white person uses the term, "Your people" they go berserk...............
Jerry’s down wit the shtruggle!

No, they are doing that all by themselves. They’ve been on the Democrat plantation for over 50 years now.
This thinking is precisely why relatively few have gotten anywhere.
And the ones that do are roundly criticized by the “mob of failure” for doing so.
The liberal talkers on tv will not let the days of slavery die. They do not mention the first slave owner in this
country was an black African.
My father, his brother and sister, and both of his parents picked cotton in the Imperial Valley back in the 1930’s. They came from the same ethnic group as Johnny Cash, who also picked cotton around the same time. And they had their mattresses burned at the border as they came to California, dirt poor.
As one who survived picking cotton from age 5-18 on the family farm, knock it off. It didn’t hurt me a bit.
Al Sharpton should be in prison instead of hosting a TV show on the least credible network among many lousy Leftist networks.
Do tell. What do you call millions of your constituents living their entire lives on welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing, and who knows how many other handouts provided by the ultimate plantation known as The demonicRAT Party?
That photo is being celebrated by BLM and the other Leftist groups in our country. Shame on you, Jerry Jones. You are a disgrace to Texas.
I’m tired of cotton getting blamed
My ancestors raised a lot of fine cotton
They had help....boy they’d reconsider that one I’m wagering
Imagine a world without cotton
I’ve gone from being irritated by this football thing to being totally entertained.
As has been said, there’s really no way Trump loses this one.
I don’t understand it either, they wear clothes made with cotton, or are they so stupid they haven’t figured that out yet?
OH MY, another thought just went through my head, what if they do figure it out and start running around nude...oh my what a horrid picture that is!!!
Ahhhhh.......go pound cotton up your arse.
When blacks voluntarily kneel on national public TV before a predominantly white crowd, well .... y’jes gott’a admire their determination to show obeisance to their white superiors.
Totally crazy. Asking people to respect Old Glory and National Anthem is somehow racist? Completely insane.
