Not interested in what blacks have to say about racism when they're burning down cities, shouting against our country and burning our flag.

Further I certainly don't need to be educated about what racism is by black people after decades of them using it as an excuse for the state and condition of their culture. No other group has been given opportunities, revenue, programs and helps more than the black community......but it is not those in the streets today who utilize these. Rather they just want more of more they're unwilling to work for.

This is probably rhetorical by now, but why is Black capitalized in the title, while white is not? I believe neither should be.

Why does ESPN capitalize the B in Blacks, but not the W in whites?

Isn’t that racism, treating one race differently than another? Geez, I’m so sick of this crap!

I don’t listen to “black people”, “white people” or any other “group” of people. I listen to individuals, but since there are seven billion of them, the quality and relevance of their words need to justify me listening to them rather than someone else.

There are only so many days, hours and years in my life. My primary focus is listening to and valuing the people I know personally. And yeah, some of ‘em are black, or white, or Arab, or Asian, or Indian (dot on forehead) or Indian (feather in band).

Etc.

So in other words, the Seahawks will be distracted from football by race issues ... so we can expect another losing season

Thanks for the heads-up, Pete

Racism is only a white thang?

There are no black racists?

Al sharpton, jesse, and every black race pimp on msm are big time racists.

How about asian racists?

The Japs, Koreans, Chinese, etal are the most racist people on the planet.

They hate each other with a vitriol not seen anywhere on the planet, but it is nothing compared to their contempt and disdain for the "round eyes", both black and white.

They believe that the dogs they eat for dinner are higher on the scale than round eyes.

Any talking they’ve been doing has been drowned out by all the burning, looting, and murdering going on.

Pete Carroll, like most racists, believes that black people all think the same way. It never occurs to him that which black people you talk to can make all the difference.

How ‘bout you sponsor some TED talks, Pete? Everyone knows white people listen attentively and politely to TED talks.

“the need for white people to gain a better understanding of racism in America”

Yes, it would be great if America were more like the utopian country of Rwanda where there are no white people and racism does not exist.

Never mind that the blacks their only want to cannibalize each other. But there is no racism, see. That’s the bottom line.

The RIGHT group to listen to is, among MANY others ...

Thomas Sewell
Clarence Thomas
Candace Owen
Larry Elder

...
Jericho Green
Officer Tatum
...
Coli Noir
...
Diamond and Silk
... N

On and on there’s an easily create list of rational, intelligent black men and women who are articulate about the reasons to Blexit and Walkaway.

ALL black voices matter.

A REAL discussion ought to happen, and I would then listen.

I am forced to "listen to black people" every day.
In nearly every car all around me.
Vile, animalistic, misogynistic rantings of fools and drug addicts, who listeners seem to think are very wise.

I roll up my window.

I’ve rarely watched professional sports except for NASCAR. They got a letter from me a couple months ago informing them that my decades as a fan are over.

Listen to them? To hell with that

Black racists are intent on destroying America. Black Jocks are at the top of the list of destroyers.

Kneelers must be rebuffed.

As long as they keep blaming anyone other than themselves they will not improve their lot in life.....re-erecting the racism wall over and over is just reruns we've all heard regurgitating time and again......demanding more is just more of more without 'the will' to apply it.

Amen. And those are for starters. Plenty of others like those three out there, but the MSM wants you to believe that they don’t exist. Justice Clarence Thomas is their grudging exception to the rule.

“...demanding more is just more of more without ‘the will’ to apply it.”

I disagree. The traction they are getting this time is a result of the indoctrination of those under 40 in our society. One day, in the not too distant future, reparations will be approved and paid.

Too many black men react to the police with "You can't make me."

And yet some how white people make blacks ignore school, spawn babies without fathers, commit crimes.
