Well, the rightness of what I say probably shouldn’t depend on my color.

Slightly nuanced point: I’m trying to say “don’t mess with the national anthem”, not “here’s how you should present yourselves”. The difference is hard to convey, especially in this format, and would certainly affect how the message is received.

Listen before being outraged? Who does that? Yeah, I wish that was more common.

[redblack]

sorry to resuscitate a dead horse, but i breezed in after work and saw KIRO7 talking about similar instances of rate-jacking in… i think it was tacoma.

what they did was, they got jesse.

i wish i could do more right now; but the news blurb reminded me of this thread and made me wonder if any of the aggrieved posters had thought of getting jesse.

maybe he’d be willing to take on our broadband providers while he’s at it…

JKB,
it’s more about everyone having some skin in the game. While I appreciate rent probably incorporates some measure for property taxes, I still think it would be good for everyone to have a clear sense of participating in state government revenue generation other than through sales tax. To the degree property taxes and sales tax might be lowered to account for income tax revenue, that would be good, particularly for those at the low income level.

I would favor a progressive income tax beginning at 1% for anyone whose income is above whatever the poverty level is at the time.

Trust. I believe you can trust government in direct proportion to how engaged the electorate is.

JKB- Did you ever consider that maybe you as a white person shouldn’t be instructing how black people should be protesting in the face of injustice?

I think the tension here is because when you are instructing others how they should protest when they are wronged, you are either denying that they are being wronged or taking a position of authority over them. I hope you can see that both cause issues. I think it serves much better if we sit back and listen before being outraged.

JKB – people probably didn’t respond to your comment about his ‘fro’, not because it didn’t merit discussion, but because it was without merit.

That doesn’t stop it from being considered casual racism.

“In an interview that will air on Tuesday, 10/4, 8pm PDT on 60 minutes sports/Showtime…”

notice the “will air” in the sentence? I’ve seen the Baldwin clips, too, and they are from an interview, already taped, that will air on 10/4.

Sorry, but you need to read better.

“To be more precise: claims require proof. Accuse me of racist speech? Show it.”

What is and isn’t racist is not objective, it’s based on ones perspective i.e. where one stands. It’s my opinion and I’ll stand by it. Also note that I said this: “Also, the commentary about his hair was a cheap and ridiculous shot and adding the bit about the mohawk doesn’t stop it from appearing as racist.” I’m saying that your comment appears to be racist, not you. I don’t know you at all. I only know you by your posts here and the reverse applies. If you continued to make comments that could be interpreted that way, especially after it was pointed out, I would stop saying your comments were racist and, instead, say that you were racist.

“I’ll remind you that criticism or ridicule of a public figure is well accepted.”

Go ahead and ridicule him. Bear in mind, what you said, while ridiculing him is what I’m criticizing (see above).

“And that you yourself just offered the First Anendment defense of Kaepernick’s speech. Which I’m not impressed by, because if “not technically illegal” is all you can say, that’s pretty lame. Here I’ll just note that if your own argument applies to K’s protest, it applies to my comment.”

I don’t understand what you’re trying to get across here. would you prefer if I say that everything that Kaepernick has done, relative to his mode of protest is legal, as is flag burning? Fine. It’s all legal. Your dispute about it not being the appropriate venue is also flawed as you are stating your personal opinion with nothing to support it. Besides, you don’t have to be impressed by it.

And, my favorite, telling me to “piss off”. Way to bolster your credibility. Clearly I offended you but did you alter your perspective as to the comment in question? Did you perceive how it could be interpreted in a manner that is contrary to your intent? I don’t know about that. What you did do was lash out at me. I’m not afraid, not addressing what I said only indicts you, not me. I can say, that as a white male (a common and favorite phrase these days), I’ve certainly been accused of saying racist things. My intent wasn’t racist but the interpretation on the other side was in disagreement. I’ve learned to consider not only my audience but how what I say and especially write will be interpreted. Will the intent be misconstrued? My whole point was that, when you do your proofreading perhaps you should also change your perspective. Unless my interpretation as what you were after…but I don’t think it is.

In an interview that will air on Tuesday, 10/4, 8pm PDT on 60 minutes sports/Showtime:

JON WERTHEIM: Is there any sense that the message may have veered a little off course and this became about the national anthem and the reverence for the flag and not about aggressive policing and sort of racial injustice and law enforcement?

DOUG BALDWIN: Of course. That’s what we saw happen is the debate was not about racial injustice or things going on in our communities that pertain to law enforcement. It became about the national anthem and about disrespecting the military, which, as Colin stated a number of times and as we’ve all stated numerous times it’s not about that. It’s about getting the message across that things in our community that are going to need to change.

“Bottom line is that a political statement is being made during the national anthem. I think that’s inappropriate.”

Thank you. Statement one is a fair reading of what’s happening during the anthem and statement two is a true statement of your opinion, to which you are roundly entitled.

“Here on this particular forum, I am outnumbered and outshouted.”

Well, there are certainly people who disagree with your opinion. I guess if we go back and count up the posts there may be more that disagree than agree. Characterizing it as being “outnumbered and outshouted” gives it a bit of the Trumpesque “this debate is rigged” feel, but I’m sure no one meant to hurt your feelings.

I use Win 7 with Firefox. I have noticed the blog is loading way slower the last few months than it used to. I think it has to do with all the fancy features added in the upgrade. There is a lot of data to download on the main page. I have 50MB broadband download speed, so it can’t be to connection. It is a bit annoying but I have learned to deal with it.

[Ponderosa]

I second JW Petcare. Sue and a few others recommended them to me a while back and we really adore them, as do our cats.

Well I also play internet radio on iTunes at the same time. Recently a friend told me that iTunes runs extra programs in the background and uses up resources (I can’t explain it technically.) So I wonder if that is an issue as well. It’s just odd. The WSB is the only site that have this issue with so far. Maybe it is resource heavy. I appreciate all the comments thus far. ~z

I’m going to dissent with Comcast being the better choice. There have been outages with both services, sure (although my Comcast TV has gone out while my Centurylink internet keeps ticking). I also had a frustrating fiber install experience with Centurylink where appointments kept getting pushed back and it took me a while to figure out the appropriate vlan settings to get rid of the “modem rental”.

At the same time, I’ve got internet-only Centurylink’s 40 mbit service for $36.94 this month and for the next ~two years. Except for youtube taking longer to buffer before playing, I’m happy with this price point.

I luv this rant!!!!

There’s a free babies crib mattress on 26th SW and around 112th St.

REALLY who in their right mind would put their baby on a mattress that was left on the curb????

OH WAIT it does have plastic wrapped around it so it must be OK!

It’s true, the flag is a symbol for the nation. It is not a symbol for the various Armed Forces who all have their own flag.
As symbolic of the nation, it represents the collective spirit of those who have fought and died to protect the country; those who fought and died to oppress and destroy others; those who committed acts of civil disobedience to gain the right to vote, to end segregation, to end discrimination based on gender, sexual preference; ordinary people who work hard and try to raise families. There is a positive spirit that underlies all of that and it is aspirational. To insist it honors only military service is at best incomplete. At worst, it is vulgar nationalism.
So Kaepernick has made clear he believes the national tolerance for racial injustice is not in keeping with the true spirit of this nation and we need to do something about it so everyone can feel genuinely included in a positive way by the American spirit. Another way of looking at it is to say it’s a call to purge the negative, mean-spirited, selfish forces in society that perpetuate racism, but I’d rather accentuate the positive.

It’s clear his call has struck a chord with men and women playing sports at the professional, college and high school level. So now people who are uncomfortable with this ugly side of our country and would prefer to ignore it are being invited to take a closer look. That’s good. Very good.

To get a look at how revolutionary this is, take a look at this website and watch the video of a Nebraska Cornhusker who has set off a discussion about racial injustice, patriotism, and civil disobedience in a state of people largely tone deaf about racism. He’s having a meeting with the governor next week to discuss his protest, a meeting that will be widely covered by the state and possibly some national press. Go Big Red
