Fellas, fellas. This is America. We are all free to express our opinions, just like on this great board. The young lady was merely exercising her right to free speech- she bleeds red-white & blue!

Besides, in the USA white privilege is omnipresent, overarching, and totally pervasive throughout this great land. You can't escape it and you can't "wish it away". Whether in education, housing, justice,
employment, social morays, place of worship, etc., etc., etc., privilege and racism is built into the fabric of our laws, social discourse, the very ways we conduct daily business in the country.
Change will be difficult for the majority population. You have to be able to see the problem(s), before you can attempt to fix it/them. The vast majority of caucasian folks cannot see any problem,
therefore they have no need to (help) fix it.

And no, I won't be attempting to move into Radnor Township anytime soon. :lol:

There has to be room for supremacists in our diverse and inclusive society. Everyone has positive things he/she can contribute to society. The real problem is that the whole society is setup to support
and solidify white privilege, on both conscious and unconscious, visible and invisible levels. Minorities don't stand a snowball's chance in hell to gain equal footage on a societal level. An individual minority
may break through in a given segment of endeavor/work/field, some ethnicities may gain footholds in a given niche (Indians in employment/education, Asians in employment, education, and business, etc.) but as a whole there are many "feet on the necks" of minority populations as a whole. It will take a lot of work to correct the effects of white privilege in the US. We as a nation are too complacent, too self indulgent, and too lazy to take on such a major task. Call out the military on those minority troublemakers! ;)

I pray we get better as a society and nation. I'm just not as optimistic on that account as I am about my Jays.
Go Big East.

Nice insight and commentary Gtmo! I agree that needed change will most likely occur at a glacial speed unfortunately. But I have hope in the next generation. They are much more accepting of people that don't look or act like themselves. Either way we just need to figure out how to be better humans to each other.

So in that spirit I will not be telling you that my Cats will blow the doors off your Jays this year. I will not be warning you about Caleb Daniels and Eric Dixon or that Bryan Antoine is going to take a huge step forward and be yet another weapon in the Nova arsenal. I will not warn you that without TSA you guys will be a shell of your former defensive selves and will revert back to a team that needs to outscore its opponents. You will not hear from me that we're not interested in those "shared" banners any more and that we're going to be retaining our rightful place on the BE throne. Nope, not going to do any of that... :D

Peace my man.
Go Nova!

Defense?? Isn't that what Trump wants along the Mexican border?

Daniels will be "All-World", Antoine will become an AA, and Gillespie All Big East. I'm happy for Nova. Your team will be one of the teams to beat, if we have a season.
It's all good in Radnor Township, all good.

"Omaha...somewhere in the Midwest". A phrase I heard recently online. Out here in the hinterlands...with the rolling amber waves of grain, out here in the "real" America, my Jays are just fine. Thank you very much. Youse do what ya gotta do, but we'll just keep "letting it Fly". I will miss Ty, but we got a team of shooters and have picked up a few more along with a flyswatter in Kalkbrenner. Plus Jake is healthy again, so "no worries". I just wanna see my boy Sami Osmani get some PT this season. He's my "where did Creighton find that Osmani kid" PoY. Mac will regress to an all offense approach to winning - Defense? What's that? Defense. Who cares! Defense. Something the scribes put graffiti on.

I'm all in on an all offensive tack...being offensive is one of my best habits. Just go ahead an pencil in the Jays 9th in the BE again. We're gonna do very well this season and MAY EVEN WIN IN Radnor - wonders never cease to amaze. Luv ya fellas! git

Shucks! I left off my boy Poppin' Fresh. Will he see the court this year? Will he lose 20 pounds? I gotta keep those donuts comin' to the Finneran! My boy. Accept my humblest apologies for omitting Dixon, It was an earnest oversight as I would not intentionally slight my favorite player in America. He's got a legend to carry.

Dear friends,
It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following. Please join
me in remembering a great icon.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly-greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities
turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry
Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and
Cap'n Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours as long- time
friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man
who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show
business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not
considered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on
half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he -- even
still, as a crusty old man -- was considered a roll model for millions.
Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no
tart.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough
and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by
his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
:lol:

Nah! Carton can't win it all by himself, with no coaching. The Warriors have chemistry problems...they inadvertently make implosion bombs.
He will help, but Wojo has issues to solve. Midpack, at best.

Creighton 1st...erobody else is sniffing our gases!
