While i applaud her calling out racism and standing up for it, its clear she's doing this for attention, given that empty ass stadium she is in.

But i :salute: her anyways..

What? :what:Isn't that the point?

Don't matter if the stadium is empty, the press picking this story up.

Cacs in the comments over at deadspin are furious about this. :banderas:

Exactly, the whole point of protest is for attention. Give attention to the issue you're protesing. I see people on the 9er board downing Kaep for doing it for attention and I'm like :what:. White people get real dumb when black issues are involved.

Eric reid is a pro bowl safety breh.
I think Jeremy lane is the number two cornerback on the legion of boom.
They somewhat ring a bell now but I was expecting the bigger name guys to say something.

Real talk, I read somewhere (maybe it was on a podcast out audiobook) that this is a gender role that's been embedded in all of us.

A Historical examples is the Holocaust. Men would turn away entire families in need of help (looking for a place to hide) in fear of the consequences of their actions.

Women wouldn't turn them away. They'd even try to convince their husbands to take them in knowing the consequences and what that could mean.

Strangely though if it's a group of all men, usually one man will take on the missing role.

On the flip side if there is immediate danger, someone has a gun, men will leap into action over 80℅ of the time.

Same thing, if no men are in the room usually a woman will step up.

It's crazy to me how we can't fight our instincts no matter how modernized we become.

FTESWL Season 2 Episode 42: Black White Dynamic In America Feat Walt

Walt spends sometime with Kosher to discuss the current race issues in America. He tells Kosher how basic the problem of racism is in America and how he feels the country is a boat that’s slowly sinking and if Donald Trump becomes president we might as well blow a hole at the bottom of the boat because he is a moron. Walt also talks about his take on why popular athletes like Richard Sherman or Cam Newton say and act the way they do.

Things got cut short due to technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, but we covered a lot of ground. Check out his articles on the www.fteswl.com page.
