Maybe he would be happier in Liberia. I suggest he move there immediately.

If this happened, a big IF. Soccer fans are leftards, libtards and commies in the US.

The Seattle Sounders of some professional soccer league, last year allow Antifa to put banners up at games, and chant the usual hate filled slogans.

I think it’s a character flaw with some of them. But I think this is coming from the front office marketing offices—which are full of spineless woke snowflakes. These are people who do not understand their customers.

I can assure you the folks who run the TV networks are providing the leagues and the players with some “insights” about how the world works.

He should speak to some of the Africans in the European leagues; they can tell him about living in black-ruled countries.

Our country provided opportunity for this loser to play a game for a living; does he say the same nonsense about Germany?

I love watching professional sports crumble because I want turds like this to get real jobs - or demonstrate that they actually have no marketable skills. This guy is lining up his post-soccer career: He’s going to be a soccer Kaepernick (a professional aggrieved mulatto).

Obviously it's not just soccer that's been affected by this. Look at Lebron James. My concern is that this is indicative of what many minorities are being taught from youth on.

First of all, what is a minority? Whites, at the highest point in the last several millennia, were ~28% of the world population. This is slated to be in single digits within the next 30-40 years. So, even at the peak of white population percentages whites were less than 1/3 of the population of the planet. They are expected to be less than 10% by ~the middle of this century.

Further, of all racial and ethnic groups (in the US at least), whites are the least likely to vote or act as a unified group. The characterizations of racial issues in the US has been incredibly biased and inaccurate. Hate is hate. It doesn't matter who hates who. It's always wrong, and I can assure you that there are many who hate whites just because of their skin color. That solves nothing.

He’s 22. Hopefully he grows and comes to understand truth.

>>McKennie paid tribute to George Floyd during a Bundesliga match for former club Schalke as he wore an armband with the words “Justice For George.” Floyd, who was Black, died in police custody in Minnesota in May after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for more than seven minutes.

Justice would’ve been behind bars instead of out on the street as a repeat offender.

Where is justice for the woman he assault in a home invasion?

Why is there so little national concern for the white guy who died with an officer’s knee on his neck while the officer’s partners were joking and asking if the victim was even still breathing.

>>”I went back home to Dallas and I’m afraid to drive at night”

I’m afraid to drive at night because roving packs of anarchists are showing no respect for the law or other people on the road and will use that as justification to attack your vehicle and the passengers inside. And law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are showing no spine to support the public against such actions.

Don’t worry about it Weston. You can walk from one coast to the other and from Canada to Mexico.I’ll give you ten bucks for everyone who knows who you are, and I’ll still have $10 a year from now. What a zero.

The “boomer” generation was raised to be the most colorblind of any generation. We were the best they were gonna ever encounter. And the race-baiters have spoiled all that. Øbozo and his acolytes set race relations back 60 years and that’s something we’ll ALL pay the price for.

“Øbozo and his acolytes set race relations back 60 years and that’s something we’ll ALL pay the price for.”

You're absolutely correct. He had the opportunity to be an incredible bridge between the races, and his election was thought by many to have been a sign of the end of racism, but he chose a different path - consistent with his ill-begotten ideological dogma. Of all that could be attributed to him, I personally feel that his legacy should be that he was responsible for pushing America to the brink of a second civil war.

“...Floyd, who was Black, died in police custody in Minnesota in May after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for more than seven minutes. The killing sparked Black Lives Matter protests...”

We need to point out, and keep pointing out every time, that, while the officer did use that hold on Floyd, the autopsies found NO EVIDENCE of obstruction of his airway, or of damage by outside force, and did find lethal levels of (IIRC) fentanyl and perhaps another drug; furthermore, that he was seen in camera footage to have placed a white substance in his mouth early in the exchange with the police, after which his paranoia and panic escalated markedly, including the fact, present on video footage, that, prior to being held on the ground, he was seated on the back seat of the cruiser with the door open and his feet on the curb, saying, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!”, while no one was touching or even near him, and that difficulty breathing is a symptom of fentanyl overdose.

WE HAVE TO do all we can with the individuals we know who can be persuaded, to give them the facts that the Communist Media Conspirators will not give them.
