Fine with being traitors to their own race? What is the world coming to?

The reach and severity of these NFL rules only mirrors the reach and severity of Affirmitive Action and "fairness" mandates throughout the country. This doesn't deal with sports, but the snippets from the article below tells us this is a much wider problem. ("Liberal America" seen in...

So the next logical step is to expand the rule "down" to include giving white players a shot at wide receiver, Defensive back, etc? Yeah, I didn't think so. F.U. Dan Rooney (and I say that as a Pittsburgher and lifelong Steelers fan ... of course I've said it before here)...

Oh, one more thing which marks the Kenyan's victory as such a shame. His victory doesn't really end racism in this country, as far as I'm concerned. It just paints it with a pretty brush. And it marks the beginning of a kind of thug politics that we've never seen in this country, not to this...

A great post Riggins. I can't say I disagree with any of it, but a couple things bothered me. Like your statement that the Kenyan's victory shows there's very little racism left in America. That may be true, but it also points to other --- dare I say far bigger --- problems. For instance, the...

Oh okay Colonel_Reb, I see. Why didn't you just say that from the start then?

Thanks OldSchoolBoy. You bring up a great point about how anger is being criminalized. It remineds me of an e-mail newsletter I received just the other day from a site called Jihad Watch. Political correctness has all but destroyed Europe, and it's turned its eyes toward us now. Gert Wilders, an...

Simplistic, exagerrated, perhaps, yes, but that's my way. When I hate someone or something, I tear it down and rip it apart mercilessly. As the description on this website says, there are no sacred cows here, nor will I make one for Rooney --- he's a liberal dog and should be referred to as...

Hey, the old man Art was a great man indeed and worthy of reverence (maybe respect is a better word), and he loved everybody. I mean everybody. Black or white, it made no difference. But he had a bonehead cornhole of a son in Dan, and Dan, who never had to work for his fortune, who was given...

OldSchool, you wrote this while I was typing my mini-manifesto. Truthfully I can't see the forest for the trees. If people outside of Pittsburgh romanticize the Steelers, I wouldn't know. I lived in Boca Raton for 10 years and there was a lot of enthusiasm for the Giants back then, given that...

Thanks LabMan. You know it just occured to me. Black people are better off when they do for themselves. When Martin Luther King was running around having dreams, they were empowered. They took strides toward achievement and responsibility and it was done in the name of love. When that man was...

Please allow me, a native Pittsburgher, a lifelong Steelers fan, and much more recently, a severe Dan Rooney hater, to take a moment to respond. First off, I started disliking Mr. Rooney when he championed affirmitive action for the NFL. I began to utterly loathe him, and almost wrote off his...

Thanks for this. I never saw that play or the highlights. Don't tell me for a second the player's aren't aware of that rule. A few years ago it might have been an obscure rule, but with Troy and others, you know, there's no way they're not being warned about this stuff and then talking or...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I think this quote from the article says it all: Here's a video that highlights a lot of the examples listed in that article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYO8D7w93-M What makes me angry about the video are the ESPN announcers with their...

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I had the pleasure, as you can imagine, of growing up in Pittsburgh (whereI still reside) during the 1970s. By the time the 80s rolled around I was saying "What? You mean the Super Bowl parties aren't a yearly thing?" It was also then when I developed my...
