Ladies and Gentlemen, please keep your hands and feet inside of this moving post, until it comes to a full and complete stop......
In other words, kindly shut the fuck up and pay attention.
MYYYY Goodness! We HAVE seen a bit of shifting sand lately, no?
I mean, there have been all KINDS of posts from everyone from BillyJoeBob down the street, to the President of the United States going on and on about these million-dollar spoiled "sons of bitches". How they need to just shut up and do what they're paid for! They make MILLIONS of the hard earned dollars from you and I work for, and when sunday comes around, we just wanna watch the game and forget about the hard times we're living in for a couple of hours! HOW DARE THEY KNEEL IN PROTEST AGAINST ATROCITIES, INJUSTICES, ABUSES OF POWER, RAPE, MURDER, BRUTALITY......
RIGHT??????
Why those inconsiderate bastards are taking away from OUR leisure to protest, by taking a knee during the National Anthem while we SIT in our living rooms and sports bars feeling disrespected by them!!!
Let's not concern ourselves with the fact that they are exercising their first amendment right, guaranteed by the same constitution that our veterans (like myself, thank you very much), servicemen and women, president AND vice president swore to uphold and protect. Let's leave out the fact that they honor our fallen. Let's not point out that the reason they take a knee and not just sit down, is because one decorated veteran took the time to meet with Colin Kaepernick and hear him out and advised the taking of the knee. Let's also leave out that most of those taking a knee love our country and our freedoms and our military that defends their freedoms.
They make millions and it's awful ballsy of them to protest and bring awareness.
But, I don't seem to see BillyJoeBob down the street, the POTUS or anyone else saying the same thing to the millionaire actresses who are using their public platform to bring awareness to the rape, the injustice, the abuses of power in Hollywood , the atrocities and brutalities against themselves and other women. I seem to hear a deafening silence from you armchair patriots. Why, shouldn't THEY ALSO be being told to just shut up and do what they're paid to do? I mean, don't they ALSO make millions off of the hard-earned dollars that you and I work for? Don't we just want to watch a fine film brought to us from the Weinstein Company and others, and forget about the hard times for a couple of hours? Why aren't these inconsiderate daughters of bitches being fired for opening their mouths?!
Ohhhhh....so the standard doesn't apply both ways. They are victims. They are held against their will, having done nothing to deserve being detained in the first place. The way they dress isn't an excuse to attack them, now is it? They should feel just as safe as you and I, going to the place where their oppressor, their assaulter, their rapist....and sometimes even their murderer, is. They are the victims and they shouldn't be made to feel like they're doing something wrong when they resist these unprovoked assaults. They shouldn't be silenced when they speak out against those who would abuse their position of authority, and make them fear for their lives.......
And neither should the actresses.....oh, you didn't realize I meant....oh, nevermind.
Mr Weinstein IS a despicable individual. He's a piece of shit, and i'm not taking his side or defending him. I'm just asking YOU, America, why you demonize Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players for bringing awareness, but not Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, Mira Sorvino, Rosanna Arquette, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heather Graham, etc. etc.
After all, was Tamir Rice any less of a victim? Mario Woods? Michael Brown? Eric Garner? Walter Scott? Etc Etc. Of course they weren't victims...after all, how could they be?!
Please, keep telling me how all lives matter......
