NFT: Schilling: ESPN employs hardcore racists

DanMetroMan : 4/28/2016 10:02 am
“Some of the most racist things that I’ve ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. There are some of the biggest racists in sports commentating, and you take it for what it is. You know who they are, you know what they are. I like that they are openly because then you know who they are. You know that they exist.”

"We don't want the Irish!"

Here is Schilling's own explanation of his comments  
pjcas18 : 4/28/2016 12:45 pm : link
and I'm done after this, Schilling is the bogeyman I'm not meaning to defend him personally.

Quote:
The hunt to be offended…


Quote:
This is likely the easiest way to address all of you out there who are just dying to be offended so you can create some sort of faux cause to rally behind.

Let’s make one thing clear right up front. If you get offended by ANYTHING in this post, that’s your fault, all yours.

And for you people too dense to understand this one very important thing. My opinion, 100% mine, and only mine. I don’t represent anyone but myself here, on facebook, on twitter, anywhere.

The meme the world decided to rally behind that I posted months ago. The meme that some of you clowns and more of you spineless looking to be offended folks turned into something it was not. Every one of you gutless cowards, when ‘calling me out’ or calling me a racist, every one of you left out the only word in that entire meme that mattered. You had to, otherwise you’d have had to go elsewhere to find offense and create something out of nothing. Let me help you now. All of you fraudulent media folks, you lazy ass “don’t actually want to work for a story” clowns. The word you left out? the ONLY word that mattered? EXTREMIST. That word being omitted creates two completely different posts with two very different meanings. I don’t dislike or hate Muslims, or people of the Islamic faith. Ask my friends that are both. But then again you all knew that, but when you omit the word extremist you create a person that doesn’t exist and have a story with traction, even if it is a complete lie.
This latest brew ha ha is beyond hilarious. I didn’t post that ugly looking picture. I made a comment about the basic functionality of mens and womens restrooms, period.



See here’s the thing. I do NOT care what color you are, what race, what sex, who you sleep with, what you wear. I don’t care and I never have. I have opinions, but they’re just that, opinions. And opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they usually stink.

You know how I know you ‘offended’ people are full of crap? Because I’m not even close to any of the things you so desperately want me to be, so you can whine.

I’m loud, I talk too much, I think I know more than I do, those and a billion other issues I know I have. Like everyone one of you I have flaws, but I’m ok with my flaws, they’re what make me, me. I thank the Lord for the life I’ve been given. A life interspersed and occupied by men and women who are gay, by people of all races and religions, by men and women who dress as the other, by men and women who’ve changed to women and men. Not one decision I’ve ever made about a person has anything to do with those things I just mentioned, nor will it ever.

You frauds out there ranting and screaming about my ‘opinions’ (even if it isn’t) and comments are screaming for “tolerance” and “acceptance” while you refuse to do and be either.

YOU’RE the ones making it the issue. I don’t care, if you ask me about any of the topics it’s likely (much to the chagrin of many) I’ll answer with my opinion.

There are things I have deeply held beliefs in, things I have that are core to who I am, things I am passionate about. If you ask me about them it’s likely I’ll give you a passionate answer, whether you like that answer or not is completely up to you. I am not going to give you answers to make sure you like what I say, let the rest of the insecure world do that.

But let me reiterate, I don’t care who, what, where or why you are who you are. I care about people and how they treat others. You will NEVER in your lives find a single person who’s met me/knows me who would ever say I treated them as anything other than a human. None.

Wouldn’t you assume that all of you offended folks would have heard of me treating people the way you needed me to treat them, to be what you so desperately want me to be?

If people want to create stories or impressions where there are none, and you want/need to get offended by them that’s on you.

But for now, if you want to be offended and have that offense be by something you THINK you interpreted or you THINK you heard, go for it.

But for the love of God stop making crap up, it’s boring and it’s stupid and there are actual causes that need attention such as homeless veterans and our archaic education system.

Two benefits of this I didn’t forsee. 1) Twitter has made their “Block” far easier to use 2) You find out who your friends are when folks create crisis about you, that actually aren’t.

a picture of Hitler with these words:

"Its said only 5-10 percent of Muslims are Extremists...
In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis, How'd that go?"

How is that racist or not even factual?

It is when a dishonest press and PC police restate it that Schilling compared all Muslims to Nazi's dropping the extremist part.

giant, just stop. The picture had the word ONLY in big capital letters, with red lettering. And also, it just wasn't factual. 10% of muslims are not extremists. Not even 5 percent are.

How many people in the US would be classified as extremist under a similar methodology?

Trump has said some pretty "extremist" things, particularly in regard to Muslims, and he has better than 8% support.

Poll states 8% feel that suicide bombings and attacks against civilians are sometimes justified. In other words, murder.

This RYANMKEANE cracks me up. He lets his sympathy for black people cause him to label as "racist" anybody who he deems not to have the sensitivites that he does. Look pal, you don't know Schilling, you don't know what's in his heart and you damn sure can't provide a bit of evidence that he's a racist.

Another keyboard tough guy hurling the most ugly name possible - "racist". It's ugly to ignorantly call someone a racist without basis because racism itself is so ugly. When you do it just because Schilling ain't the bleeding heart liberal you are it's plain irresponsible and wrong.

Others have pointed out the double standard at ESPN AND Schilling was exercising a protected right on his Facebook page. Yes, ESPN has the right to fire him and we have the right to call out ESPN as the left-leaning, PC insane organization that it is.

As for you RYAN, go find yourself a Black Lives Matter rally and spread the other lie among all of your friends that contrary to all available statistical evidence cops, motivated by racism, systematically shoot down innocent blacks in numbers disproportionate to whites.

"With the terrorists, you have to take out their families," Trump said during a "Fox & Friends" interview.

He argued that such tactics were necessary because the terrorists claim to not care about their own lives.

"When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families," he repeated. "They care about their lives, don't kid yourselves. But they say they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their families."

This is what the man said. Looks to me as if he is calling for attacking civilians and he has the support of more than 8% of America. Who cares about facts though. Easier to just ignore them and bash/hate Muslims.
Just to be clear...  
Metnut : 4/29/2016 11:31 am : link
not saying that trump supporters all want to murder women and children related to terrorists, just that there's extremist views in the US also that have support.

Not to put too fine a point on it but our RYAN is misguided. Bigots don't routinely try and make it a left vs right, observers do. It's accurate and fair to label liberals when you find them and their views, in spite of their tendencies to run from the label. Their cries of "bigot" is merely more name calling and sand in the face of those that have correctly called them out. "Bigot" is nothing more than their attempt to smear and silence those that they disagree with.
