Priorities

Almost 3.5 million American citizens in Puerto Rico are in desperate circumstances and without power.

Has the President either tweeted or spoken about this humanitarian crisis?

And how many times has he tweeted about the NFL and NBA?

What's the job of the President, and what is most important and urgent?

He is sending in the people to deal with the disaster, but that is not the most important thing going on.  He is  generationally deeply racists and could not pass up this opportunity  to rally the national racist blood.  To have  the NFL pride of the nation in sports, who are black, use stardom, given them by whites, to protest racism, well he sees they need to be punished....   a sober legal non violent protest... that could really bring attention to racial injustice had to be called disrespect of the flag, and those doing it had to be called out for punishment.  They had to be put in place.   How dare they use their position that money gave them and step outside of their position of being a sports star, to protest.

this following statement has gone viral, and it is a false statement... but that it is so used and shared... speaks of the statement true or false.  

"Jerry Jones, Owner of the Dallas Cowboys called a meeting with all of his Coaches, Players and field staff and firmly told them, "You are all simply paid performers on a stage and that field is my stage! You will stand, with your hand over your heart and with respect, when our Country's National Anthem is being played or you will no longer be a Dallas Cowboy, a Coach for the Dallas Cowboys or have any association with the Dallas Cowboy Organization! I will immediately fire you, no matter who you are!" These are not the words of Jerry Jones.  As I sated the post is not correct. 

the fever of racism is so great, 

From the Raw Story website...

"A fire chief from Pennsylvania has apologized for calling Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a “no-good n*gger” after his team did not come out onto the field for the national anthem during this Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

CBS Pittsburgh reports that Paul Smith, the chief of the volunteer fire department in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania, posted on Facebook that Tomlin “just added himself to the list of no-good n*ggers” for his decision to note take the field during the anthem.

“Yes, I said it,” Smith added afterward.

Many people in the town reacted angrily to Smith’s post, and said it was inappropriate for a town official to spout racism.

“I’m completely upset, especially for a town like this, coming from the fire chief, that’s disrespectful in my eyes,” said Cecil Township resident Dylan Pareso. “I don’t agree with it one bit.”

Smith apparently realized that he’d made a big mistake, as he quickly sent a message to CBS Pittsburgh apologizing for his racist rant.

“I am embarrassed at this,” he said. “I want to apologize. I was frustrated and angry at the Steelers not standing the anthem. This had nothing to do with my Fire Department. I regret what I said.”"

As long as nothing is said about racial injustice and the motive of those kneeling, it is ok to continue draw attention to disrespect of the flag. 

let the bureaucrats worry about the disasters from the hurricanes... these upstart nfl players have to be kept in place.

I mean, when i want ice cream really really bad,  and if it is a really hot day, and i have disposable income, and granddaughters in the hot car calling out for ice cream... it is hard, close to impossible to pass up the Baskin and Robin ice cream shop with 31 flavors.  There are a lot more flavors of racism.
