Problem with posts or censorship?

So I’ll check my spurs at the door, would love to dwell here a little longer.

Well I appreciate your words and I don't mean to seem rude either so I apologise if it comes off that way, it's just to each their own I guess. Do appreciate the acknowledgement because I do feel very strongly and connected and it's moreso the outside bullshit coming in than anyone actually in here.

Dude, you’re def not on a high horse. I wouldn’t let a few people having loud vocal tantrums sway you.

And “oblivious” is a pretty kind way to describe the reaction of too many on this board. I hope that description is accurate, but fear it may not be. If that sort of nonsense continues in a serious vein, I will depart The Warpath after many years.

Completely kind when I used oblivious. Lol. Very discouraging to find out what makes alot of these posters tick after several years of thinking most of them were pretty good people. Oh well. I might be on my way out too. Hard to talk football with these people and act like they didn’t just regurgitate all of this nonsense all over these threads.

I honestly do not think you guys are racist , sorry if I implied that. I think you are just completely oblivious. That is not meant to be an insult. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the fight for racial equality has become some left wing conspiracy theory of sorts with a hidden agenda to somehow ruin all your lives.

Racial inequality does not exist. Even if it did how does looting businesses, attacking innocent people, burning down buildings, illegally occupying public streets, and destroying property fix anything? BLM is a marxist feminist front group who hates traditional family and want to push communism down the throats of the country. Go read their mission statement. It has nothing to do with racial equality. Why do you think they pushed a minuscule issue like police brutality? Even if we got rid of all the police shootings of unarmed black people. We would have the highest murder rates in the country. We would still have the highest unemployment rates in the country. We would still have the highest incarceration rates in the country. We wouldn't have the lowest literacy rates in the country. What is BLM plan to address any of those issues? If they are not trying to address any of that then they are not fighting against racial inequality. The reason why people call BLM a terrorist organization is because of their animalistic behavior and desire to destroy this country.

Btw, I really hope you're not a black man. We need strong men in our community, not a bunch a feminist lapdogs.

I guess we can't agree on everything.

I should have said I do not know. Im trying to be cordial. Honestly I think people just do not get it, like if they ever had a civil conversation with a black person they are not capable of racism. Lol. You do not need a swastika tattooed on your arm or white power tattooed on your back to be racist. Being oblivious and ignorant to the plight of so many people is sickening in its own right and definitely falls on the racist scale somewhere. The whole racism is a two sided thing with whites is just plain garbage. Better Jamf?

How is the changing of sports teams nicknames going to help minorities? If the nfl wants to do what’s right they would tell the MAYOR of CHICAGO to figure out how to stop the MASS MURDERS of black citizens in the city that is awarded prime time games every year ... the murder rate in that city is one of the highest in the world ... tell me again what is the NFL doing about that as well as the govt in that city ...

Well that would involve gun control, funding inner city programs and schools, and getting to the root of the drug problem (hint they arent growing or making shit themselves). All things that aren’t priorities for the white people running the show. Don’t act like the Mayor of Chicago has so much power. That is Fox news bullshit.
I think the NFL probably does more good than you think. It isn’t exactly news when they do something in the inner city, it is when a team changes its nickname after almost 90 years.

Post any links you want.. do I think the article and link posted above from 2/4/20 was manipulated and paid for? Probably. Or just more mindless ppl being sold on an idea that wasn't theirs like fucking the movie inception. Yes. I believe it's mostly bullshit. Not a 'hoax' as you say but absolutely manufactured to serve those behind that particular agenda... You think mass influence isn't real? You think mass manipulation isn't real? Crawl out from that rock you're living under my friend or better yet STAY THERE.... You'd be better off. It's funny that the fuckin "woke masses" or w.ever the fuck it is they call themselves claim what they calim because these moronic drones are the ones who are actually asleep. I am not saying that of you, at all, (who am I kidding I kinda am) but you're in here talking about racial inequality on some grand scale as if us being persecuted for our fucking NFL franchise is somehow bigger than the Blackhawks, or even the fucking cowboys. If the Cleveland INDIANS have to change their name.... COWBOYS VS. INDIANS........ Fucking hypocritical double standards is something I simply do not fucking tolerate. Go after them and be a poster child for another fucking cause sperate from your flesh and blood that you call your fucking team. I am a redskin for fucking life and I WILL NOT .... Hear otherwise.

It’s important to understand that if a social media platform decides it doesn’t want certain posts on its platform, that’s not anywhere close to the same thing as government censorship or a violation of your rights to free speech.

Social media platforms are owned and administrated by the company who created them. So if they take down certain posts, they’re basically telling you “you can say what you want because it’s a free country, but you can’t say it here, take it somewhere else.”

And if you don’t like it, you’re free to start your own social media platform.

I get that, doesn't make it any less annoying and the rest of the internet and the media is controlled and treated the same way but I def get what you're saying. Restaurant/bar owners have a right to refuse service too, except they'd get excruciatingly ridiculed for it.... More double standardized hypocrisy which is the root of what pisses me off ya know...
