FFS...what is going on?! Students at UVA has given a list of demands and are whining about the Thomas Jefferson statue, that it serves as an emblem of white supremacy...maybe these ingrates should look at who founded the school they enrolled in.

His fame is not because of his physique, but more because of his see through attitude and honesty about steroids. Video logs on YouTube helped his popularity.

He was very open about his steroid use and was aware that there are repercussions associated with it.

More laughable news....Kaepernick. His supporters were outside NFL headquarters whining & crying racism because "nobody" will sign him. Except of course for that backup job he was offered...but it didn't pay enough for our precious little Kaep. Now the NAACP wants to get involved...ugh.

Well you have to consider that was when 95% of our society had that pesky thing called common sense, difference between right and wrong, guys who used fists to settle arguments and so on, so it is understandable.

This was the best part of that article:
Both stones praise the men’s religious character. Jackson’s says he “walked humbly before his creator.” Lee’s says he was “a Christian soldier without fear and without reproach.” Lee was a prominent Episcopalian who served as senior warden of his Virginia parish.

They were uncontroversial at the time of their installation, Eckstrom said.

A brilliant military leader praised then and Sh*t on now. Like they did thousands of years ago he will be erased from history soon enough from these pansy f*ucktards. Don't hold your breath cause Patton, Chesty, Eisenhower and the like are next by some other retarded my Pu**y hurts agenda.

Funny how so many Christians throughout history have no understanding of God...

I imagine a time when man was a hunter gatherer......

A pack of men hunting a deer, hoping for a nice treat for dinner. Everyone is silently closing in on the deer. Everything is going according to plan, just then a women from the community screams.......... and the alerted deer runs away. That day no one had a deer for dinner.


They say women empowerment is a good thing for society......... but at what price?

I wonder if Orwell knew just how close his book would come to being moved to the non-fiction side of the library? Maybe I should protest until they DO move it!

Just heard, in advance of Ben Shapiro speaking at Berkeley tonight, classes were cancelled(not sure if it's some or all) and counseling is available if a student experiences trauma at his being on campus. Seriously? These are adults being shaped into being productive citizens. How is any of that helping them? Grief counseling because someone steps foot on the campus...really?

Shooter kills one, wounds 7 at Tennessee church - CNN

So, black guy shoots up a white church. Kills a white person. Can someone explain why this isn't a hate crime?..

On the surface it fits the bill of a hate crime..is it being denied that it is? I guess more details are needed before a conclusion is made.

Latest I heard is a "civil rights" investigation is being done. People are quick to determine the hate crime status when it's a white person...

It's getting to the point where simply being white is racist.

Sadly, we're there, especially if you're a straight white male. Luckily for society, it's a fringe thinking point. I just hope it stays that way.
