    I have gathered that opinion based on posts you have made over the past year. I said you seemingly feel that way. I dont know if I've ever specifically heard you say you don't believe discrimination is such a thing. Yes, Blacks are more likely to encounter police than whites. That has to do...

    Not at all. I don't believe that. I'm saying that if people begin getting fired or quitting due to vaccine laws there will be a need to fill those roles. That need may open up doors for people who are already are employed with those companies but had previously been unable to break through...

    Wow if you want. We have different perspectives on life. That has been established long ago. You seemingly don't believe people are discriminated against based on race, gender or sexual orientation. I'm not sure if you believe the same applies to age. I don't like when people say, "agree to...

    @denverexpat brought up race. I don't know how the hell USPS can circumvent a vaccine law. I agree one hundred percent they should fall under a vaccine mandate. I actually pointed that out already, albeit indirectly, when I said companies with a significant public-facing component. As for...

    If a person is more likely to be arrested, they are more likely to be convicted. If a person has a felony conviction with a prison stint on their record, do you think an officer will be more inclined to treat them differently during a traffic stop than they would if they had not served time or...

    That is definitely a potential problem with vaccine identification. The reality of any ID regulations is that the people asking for IDs are going to enforce them as they see fit and let some people get by and others not. I'm not sure I agree with vaccine ID laws. I'm not opposed to companies...

    Blacks and whites are policed differently. Leaving anecdotal evidence out of it, look at things like drug sentencing. Various studies over the past 20 years have shown that Black folks are anywhere from five to seven times more likely than white people to serve a year or more for a non-violent...

    I should clarify, ideally no one should be getting killed by police. It makes sense, however, that there would be more whites killed by police than Blacks or anyone else. I learned AP writing style in school and it stuck. Caucasian is spelled with a capital C, whereas white is spelled with a...

    I've always felt this way. Everytime someone brings up more whites getting killed by police than Blacks, I say the same thing. There should be more whites getting killed by police than Blacks, as there are nearly five times the amount of white folks in this country. The problem has always been...

    The graph said 52 percent of white Americans had received at least 1 shot, meaning 48 percent had not. Since the graph separated whites and Hispanics, I went with the number of non-Hispanic whites in the U.S (192 million according to the 2020 census). 48 percent of that figure is 92.1 million...

    What did I type that was incorrect?

    He wrote that if the key to getting past the pandemic is getting everyone vaccinated and that the graph shows that the greatest barrier might not be who the media portrays. My post was to was to ask if he meant that non-Hispanic whites are the greatest obstacle to getting everyone vaccinated...

    According to the graph, there are roughly 92 million non-Hispanic whites in the U.S. who have not received a vaccine shot. At the same time, there are approximately 24.5 million non-Hispanic Blacks and 32 million Hispanics in the U.S. who haven't been received a shot. White people are also more...

    A drive-by shooting that takes the life of a child sounds like manslaughter to you?

    Bayless doesn't work for ESPN and hasn't for years. Go check Bayless's twitter. I went back 10 days and he did not express a single opinion not related to sports. That is the reason I used him as an example. Whitlock's Twitter, on the other hand, is filled with his social and political commentary.

    Jaslyn Adams was the seven year-old little girl who was shot in the McDonald's drive-through. I think we can all agree that's murder. I'm glad the suspect won't be making it to court. You seem to be mixing up this and the Makhia Bryant shooting. I recognized yesterday that I rushed to judgement...

    I see where the disconnect lies here. Go to Whitlock's twitter feed and check it out. He's far from talking about just sports and athletes. If this was Skip Bayless, I would agree with you.

    I get that. Whitlock stated that LeBron doesn't care about Black people dying because he hadn't said anything about Jaslyn Adams being murdered. Prior to that, Whitlock had not said anything about Adams being murdered, either. If the lack of comment shows LeBron doesn't care about Blacks...

    You're entitled to your opinion. Applying one standard to someone else while applying a different one to yourself is hypocrisy. Whitlock did that.
