How are those 2 things related?

?

i think he’s saying that there are instances of whites being attacked for no good reason.

does it happen? i know of instances where that has happened.

i’m not saying i agree with him. i don’t think one means that the other is ok.

i can’t speak for what it is like growing up as a working class white man. i also can’t speak to how it is growing up as a gay man.

i just know that there are worldviews so different from one another, i have no idea how you come to any compromise.

i blame it on an increasing disparity in wealth distribution. eliminate that and you see some of these problems disappear. that’s what i suspect anyway. when your security is threatened people start blaming the others. out of fear or whatever. i know it’s not that simple but it’s part of the problem. i think the problems lie MOSTLY upstairs and not down here.

they might be fools, but i think we’ll all look like even bigger fools four years down the road.

I think that starting Goff isn’t about winning THIS year. If you honestly think you can make the playoffs, stay with Case. If not–make the switch.

glazer just reported that fisher is considering starting goff NEXT week depending on how they do today.

is the democratic party capable of that kind of change?

this all reminds me of that who song.

i would want goff starting half this season. now maybe he’s not ready to start. and if that’s the case then that worries me.

but maybe fisher is a little more conservative. or maybe i’m too impatient. or they’re just different approaches.

but still. i’d like to see him get at least 8 games.

and not cuz i think he’d make a difference but to start preparing for next year.

my approach. i just try to go in with an open mind. i think the reasons everyone here is upset actually overlap in some places. and there are wide chasms in others. i guess i am not willing to stubbornly cling to my own ideas. more just curious as to why people believe what they believe? i guess ultimately. on a philosophical level we’re all just completely lost. we have our own belief systems. we have our own experiences that have shaped us, and i just sit here in wonderment at all the different opinions being put out here on this board. cuz i believe everyone here is decent (or at least decent as a human can be). i believe that on some level all the pain here and frustration is born out of caring. even if that can often be misguided.

and even if it does come from a place of hate. for some reason i’m ok with that too.

don’t ask me why. i don’t know. i can’t really explain it, and maybe it doesn’t even make any sense. maybe it’s cuz in the end i think that none of this even means anything.

i do know that people in general are hurting on both sides. just want to see where all that hurt is coming from. on both sides.

yeah i don’t think it boils down to 2 possibilities, but nonetheless i’m starting to think the problem lies with one or the other or possibly even both. now many different factors can go into that. also. i could be wrong and neither is the problem, and there would be all sorts of reasons for that.

but yeah. now i’m in worry mode until goff gets his shot.

good to have a bunch of different voices. especially ones with a pretty gnarly sense of humor.

my confidence is eroding. if not in goff then in fisher.

this is beginning to be a bunch of bullshit.

I don’t buy the stuff they’re peddling there, IR.

Just my 2 cents.

well. we’ll see.

i am ok with protesting trump. but how about protesting the democrats too? how about telling them they need to get a better candidate than hillary clinton?

i almost feel like this plays into their hands.

we’ll watch the country fall apart the next 4 years, and the democrats will be smiling and say, “hey. don’t worry. come back with us. we’ll take care of it…”

i know i said this before, but yeah. the calls for goff were loud. i went and saw the game on tv. the tv guys talked about it, but you couldn’t really hear it on tv the way it sounded live.

people want change…………….

hahahaha!

in my opinion. he did more than that.

Like what? I’m not doubting you. Maybe I’m conveniently forgetting the hate-filled pejoratives he used to describe her as a human being.

i’m not talking about trashing hillary.

i’m talking about the manipulation of people’s fears.

it’s been hashed over again and again. so i don’t want to go over it another time.

i think hillary did similar things. i don’t like how her campaign seemed to center around don’t vote for trump or you’re a racist homophobic ass hole. i think it turned a lot of people off.

i wonder how bernie would have handled it. i don’t think he would have handled it the same way. i hope not.

now i’m going to crawl into a hole for the next four years.
