Purposely or not if they didn't get the benefits during and after the great depressions that's something that can really set families/people back.

It was maids and migrant farm workers that didn't get it at first.  A lot of them were african americans.  But Morgenthau believed it would be to hard to track their wages.  A valid point perhaps, although they did eventually come up with a compromise.

People are arguing all down the facebook comments for the Panthers posting the video of that press conference.

Whew boy, some incredibly opinionated people. Just leave him alone and let him play ball. 

Let him?  I hope to hell he does, and it isn't just his second job.

I dont understand the distraction angle. Does a coworker expressing social justice opinions at work suddenly make you perform badly at your job? Like if Jim Bob at Wal-Mart hears something he doesn't like from Carol-the-cashier he suddenly starts stocking things on completely wrong shelves?

I don't think it does but working with that person might be a challenge.

What did Cam say? Did he say Panthers fan didn't want a black qb?

Cam was expressing his opinion why he was being treated differently as a black QB..

Like the lady in Nashville writing to the paper about how his dancing effected her child that year..

But he did it in his mind puzzling rhetoric then back off of it when it got hot for him..

Unlike Reid who is able to intelligently  speak his mind back it up with facts and not back down from it.. No matter how uncomfortable it makes some racist feel..

It's a valid question when a man is that outspoken.

so was there anything football info in here or did those vultures in the media just look for a headline about off field?

Yup basically he said he was learning quickly and moved on to his opinions on social justice. Media is going to love this guy.

He said they use the same lingo that LSU did.  

That being in a 4-3 or a 3-4 isn't much different for the secondary.  Still 11 players on the field.

He's been working out 5 days a week, hopes to be in football shape by the end of the week.

He just hopes to make plays to help the defense and win.

He's always been a big safety.  Scouts wanted him to play LB originally.

C'mon man.  I'm trying to be patient.  You are completely misleading with this response.

People respected Jim Brown and Ali and a nation wanted to watch them. Why because they were great players. Let's not forget Ali was actually stripped of his title fight a war that was killing millions of people. Kaps fighting for the drug dealers and criminals while ignoring the people getting killed by those people. You know the innocent people. So don't compare great people to Kap. 

You're going to have to post a link for this assertion, please. Who else thinks like this? Unless you're just generally labeling police or POC as drug dealers. You wrote it, why? 

As for Muhammad Ali refusing to enlist in 1967, I doubt most huddlers were alive at that time. And, for those who have never read nor heard his reason, here it is. It was not about war but about white privilege and domination over POC. There was way more white anger over Ali than Reid. And no one said Ali's draft evasion was a class act.

Quote

 

“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called ***** people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?

No, I am not going ten thousand miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would put my prestige in jeopardy and could cause me to lose millions of dollars which should accrue to me as the champion.

But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is right here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality…

If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. But I either have to obey the laws of the land or the laws of Allah. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail. We’ve been in jail for four hundred years.”

 

 

TL:DR version. Both Ali and Reid talk about white dominance and social injustice in history. Few white people thought Ali was a "class act" at the time.
