"freestyle skier Hunter Hess from Bend, oregon, said the flag brought mixed emotions due to U.S. policies he dislikes, while figure skater Amber Glenn spoke out on [queer] challenges under the Trump administration and vowed not to stay silent on politics. fellow skier Chris Lillis called himself heartbroken about events back home, and former team USA skier Gus Kenworthy posted provocative anti-ice messages on instagram. conservatives like rep. Tim Burchett pushed back hard, urging athletes to focus on competition, with some calling for boycotts as the online divide highlights tensions over patriotism at the games."

Tamyra Mensah-Stock is the perfect model of how Olympic athletes should represent America on the world stage

The Left is literally insane. Here's a president who's bent over backwards (or forwards) for LGBT causes, been called "the best president ever for gays" by gay groups, taken tons of money from the LGBT lobbyists, (presumably) got the Supreme Court to not even consider changing the gay "marriage" law, hires openly gay men (with children, yet!) for his cabinet, dances on stage to YMCA, etc and etc, and yet they think he's AGAINST them, because of the slight pushback against transgenders in women's sports? (He even SUPPORTED transgenderism early on, when it suited his purpose!)
It's like black people- more has been done for them than any other people in history, with only anger, resentment and violence given in return- yet they STILL think everyone is against them!
Remember this: MARIJUANA SMOKING MAKES PEOPLE PARANOID. I'm not making it up; it's in the (buried) scientific research, and I even had a (white) co-worker tell me he stopped doing it because that was the result. I posted here once about how someone I knew ran into Whoopi at her hotel during her Broadway debut (mid-80s), and the first thing she did was offer him a joint. That explains her state of mind- and the entire deranged mentality of the Left.

Sounds about right. Our media is despicable

Not all blacks are leftists, criminals, or welfare leaches. There are great ones--Clarence Thomas, Sowell, and don't forget the patriotic immigration reformer, the late Terry Anderson who said, "If you ain't angry, you ain't paying attention."
If Clarence Thomas was "great" he would have married a black woman. He's as much a "race blender" as a ghetto negro. Would you consider a ghetto negro,with a White woman,"great?"
His opinions on SCOTUS could have been made by a conservative White judge. I'll argue that point until civil war 2.

Yes, there are decent black people. I've worked with a number of black women who were very nice; men, probably none.
There certainly were blacks in the Civil Rights era who were marching for dignity and respect; the government, the media, and the "entertainment" industry did everything to undermine those goals, particularly by encouraging black criminality (and general bad behavior) to thrive. Rap, and the "gangsta" culture that went with it, was the last nail in the coffin for blacks ever getting "respect." They've chosen how they want society to see them, and I don't hear any "conservative" black voices speaking out. (Bill Cosby was crucified for criticizing "ghetto" behavior- I have a story about that, for another time).
For what it's worth, I don't see whites as much better these days- also a rant for another day.

Media is making sure that whatever shred of decency and accountability in black people is completely eradicated. I remember when Bernard Goetz dispensed justice to a pack of violent negroes, reporters went around and interviewed random black people who virtually all said, on camera, that Goetz was justified in what he did. There was no way the media, liberal Whites and racist blacks would allow that to happen again. Now if a White defends themself, they are portrayed as murderers and criminal blacks as innocent victim of racism.
I've worked with what I THOUGHT were decent black people. One in particular,seemed as docile as a person on sedatives. Years later,he was arrested for the near murder of his wife. You never know with blacks.

Whites are getting beatdowns from all sides--blacks,yes,but Whites as well. We can't do anything right anymore,according to tv and newsprint. blacks are propped up as the only people who can speak about any subject--we have to wait for a black to approve what a White says,for that opinion to be acknowledged as a truth(watch the "View" or the news).
When blacks invaded White neighborhoods two decades ago in Grand Rapids,a new moral code was installed on the Whites who couldn't move--and almost by osmosis(and drugs),White attitudes declined. These factors and more go into why some Whites are morphing toward black behavior--i.e.:being lowlifes and stupid.

To prove a point,a long retired black football player is highlighted for his opinion that the Super Bowl halftime show should not be bad bunny:
(fox noise)Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson blasted the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny to be its halftime performer in the Super Bowl.
Dickerson, 65, called the NFL one of the most corrupt organizations there is and said they will do anything for money.
"I just don't I don't see why they chose that. The NFL does stuff that baffles your mind. So, they'll do anything for money," Dickerson told TMZ in a recent interview. "I thank God I had a chance to play in the National Football League."
"Why didn't they choose someone from the local area,someone who speaks English?"
GRA:Any Whites who voice such an opinion get slammed as racist,but a blackie gets props and no pushback.
I haven't seen it,anyways.
What's inferred,is that at 65,Dickerson is too old to know what's "hip" in the U.S. and that a 65 year old's opinion should be ignored as "yelling at the clouds" syndrome.
