Warren Sapp fired by NFL Network following arrest for soliciting prostitutes, assault

[LostInAK 43]

And you'd be dead wrong. First of all, I don't lead any post talking about how jacked up white people are. A crime is a crime, no matter the color or religious affiliation. Do a thread count on my last 10 topics, and see how many are race involved, then compare that with Lib's last 10. Let me know what you come up with.

Ohh I didn't realize we were dealing with only the last 10 posts. I was basing my opinion on your work over the last couple years.

But in the case of Warren Sapp, who brought it up? Not Sapp, nor is anyone claiming racism about his arrest. Not him, not Sharpton or Jackson, nor Obama or even Holder. This case has nothing to do with with racism at all, but Lib's response was because he's black.

Face it, the folks here that are obsessed about race aren't the black people.

Who brought the biggest race story of the last few years into the conversation ? The zim gets mentioned all the time .. you people cannot let him go.

You people eh? Classy.

Proves marvin right at least.

i don't believe we live in a 'post racial' america, and in all three examples you gave race was a factor (not THE factor, because obviously the main factor is excessive force used by law inforcement) before al sharpton ever showed up. race is not a factor for most white people, ever. me personally, i'll talk about race whenever the hell i want. but i'm not reading from a script. constantly bringing up al sharpton - verbatim script.

What made race the factor other than the fact the people in those situations were different races? That WAS the defining factor in all 3 cases. There was never racism proven in any of them. Not one bit. Just a bunch of made up garbage by the media and the race baiters.

If the dead guy and the guy making the other person dead were the same race, we never would've heard a word about it.

No one is trying to stop you from taking about race "whenever the hell you want" but keep in mind at some point people will get bored of the false claims and stop listening. Carry on though.

spare me, we all talk about zimmerman and ferguson etc etc all the damn time. current events and hot social topics, name of the game. it's almost like you all don't want marvin to comment on anything if race is involved, like he's not allowed to have an opinion. it's really weird.

Another well thought out contribution. Par for the course.

I'm curious about something. What exaclty is wrong with "you people?" Why is that such a negative? Is there some history behind it?

'You people' shows a myopic and prejudiced view of the world, at best. It really just proved Marvin's point.

So if I joined in 2004, that would make a difference how? Does being a member here for 11 years somehow make your point of view more relevant? Wait I can answer that. The answer is no, no it doesn't make your point of view more relevant.

NOT TRUE. i have read news articles, at least one every other week - if not more - regarding police brutality. just because something doesn't make the fake news rounds doesn't mean it's not going on. there are plenty of people, all races, who understand what events like ferguson/bronx/trayvon are really about and how we got to this point.

i never said anyone was trying to stop me. who are these people who are listening to me and my opinions that are going to get bored with my 'false claims' and 'stop listening'? i'm doing important work here dude. all you old white dudes bow down. your time is running out.

I thought maybe there was some defining moment where that phrase was used in some racial incident.

My sixth grade teacher used to say "you people" when she was scolding the entire class at once.

I preferred it to the gym teacher who used "you bunch of premature babies".

Just as well. Normally myopic & prejudiced go hand in hand with other expressions of lower intellect, such as racism. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Ok fair enough. Why not post them here? How come I don't read about them on cnn.com or see them on TV? Where's the outrage from everyone? Why aren't peopele running around with thier hands in the air like idiots?

that last part is funny.

Fight the power.

That makes sense when you have the entire group in your presence and when the elements of such group are known. It's quite different when one uses it to refer to a mysterious unclassified and unqualified group of complete strangers in cyberspace.
