Whether or not judgmental types like it or not, that's the way it is.

Colin Kaepernck on our recent election:

Both are proven liars and it almost seems like they’re trying to debate who’s less racist.

Kaepernck has been in the NFL since 2014, he signed a $114 million guaranteed contract 1 April 2016. His first anthem protest was months later. Tommie Smith and John Carlos had zippo as far as contracts.

Kaepernck couldn't tell the difference between Hillary and Trump, but unlike Cardwell or the black kid raped in Idaho and millions of other less privileged minorities, having Jeff Sessions the KKK consorting Alabama racist as AG won't affect Kaepernick.

Ultimately Kaepernick could be equated with a Bernie or buster who didn't bother to vote cuz of the emailz....

How were they "both caught in

How were they "both caught in a political mess"? Jones was just exercising his constitutional right to free speech and protest, and McGraw made him out to be some anti-American monster and hit him knowing he couldn't hit back. A portrait in cowardice and fear. And then kept his big mouth open but didn't have to suffer for his racist backwards hateful framing. Jones is "ISIS", "the Other", the Creature from the Black Lagoon", alien from outer space. These people are living in black-and-white 1950's Twilight Zone about to jump out of their skin with fright.

For Danny, I'd guess the other guy knew about his criminal record so could use that as a presumption of guilt. That this made it to court is incredible, and the order to stay away is probably unconstitutional and not backed by any legal basis - the plaintiff approached Danny, not the other way around. But not going to find any excess of justice for a black man in the South, especially not with a record. It must be tough to know your life can be upended in 30 seconds for no reason at all.

If I didn't have documented proof of my situation I wouldn't believe it. I lived through a b.s. situation. This is real!

You're right. End of story

From Walter Rhett, a commenter at NYT, from recent opinion piece, can't recall either Charles Blow or Krugman:

This is the Old South; rampaging, angry, mean and stupid, pilfering, raging, stumbling like drunks on a long weekend caught in the stupor of mind-altering self-destruction induced once ago by drink--now by power politics. This is butt-naked behavior; a defeated defiance that is an alarming act of desperation, a demand of brutal savagery intended to deny any vestige of humanity or conscience; this is a rebuke of the good, of common sense, of decency, of law, this is outside of reason; this is excess: this is an evil coup.

And its not just the geriatrics. NY Daily News:

KING: How white privilege is allowing white men across the country to assault black men and beat the rap.
