BLM Protests Across The World

[InCali]

This reminds me... Need to talk to you about the 8th Dimension later. Also, make sure the Overthruster's schematics are safely locked away.

No worries. They're signed, seeled, delivered, but you don't get to hold the overthruster so don't get any ideas.

Goodell is basically going to have to convince them. The owners have clearly been black balling him. But the rebellion of some of their biggest stars might force their racists ass hands.

Goodell doesn't have the backbone. His statement was made because the NFL staff essentially went rogue. Not to mention, he will never apologize to Kaepernick, because that is going to open up a lot of liability to lawsuits.

Of course he won't apologize. He will have to convince the league what is best for them is to have him in the league, and all that takes is one owner.

I agree it is still a long shot, but I think it is possible now.

This is worth watching just for Aaron going full Angry!Jesse Pinkman in the end...

I have to say, the twitter reaction has been rather fantastic.

I was reading about this earlier.

So they encourage their employees to wear pins in support of Pride, but once you say black lives matter, it’s a ban.

Never liked their overrated drinks anyway.

Surprised no end. I get they have a corporate policy. Still... optics wise this is a bit baffling.

It's the hypocrisy that gets ya:

Black folks are a little too extreme for their trendy tastes.

I have a weird hankering for a Starbucks hot chocolate.

Wasn't their founder or CEO or something floating the idea of a run for the presidency not long ago?

And this is why we can't trust any attempts at solidarity.

Second Cup is where it's at!

I mean I wouldn't know, I don't live in Canada. But they are Canadian, they have to be more accepting right?

Good.

I'm willing to cut well meaning people some slack about the kneeling. For god only knows how long kneeling has been a gesture of respect and deference in the western world.

I am confused. Who are you cutting slack here for kneeling?

Anyone that knelt to show support, respect, or deference to the protesters.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Anyone that knelt to show support, respect, or deference to the protesters.

Including the ones who shot tear gas, rubber bullets and threw stun grenades at them like a minute later?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Anyone that knelt to show support, respect, or deference to the protesters.

Does the benefit of the doubt get at least a second thought after the self same police end up visiting violence upon the protesters?

I have a weird hankering for a Starbucks hot chocolate.

I have a weird hankering to not sit in my car for 40 minutes. It's an especially strongly, powerfully hankering because I think coffee tastes like dirt and I don't sleep that much anyway.

Maybe some day, Starbucks will serve overpriced beer.

Chappelle has a new special on YouTube. Little less than 30 mins. Talks a lot about what's going on with this
