***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[dwalk31]

Bulls**t not one person wouldn't have shown off an A. Hell, most times TEACHERS highlight the "A" students themselves.

Stop responding though, you're incriminating yourself

I'm going to take a wild guess and say we went to different schools.

 

[ksteezy]

I was agreeing to disagree, respectfully. I think it IS a matter of opinion on whether the physical contact he used to prevent her from getting the mic was too far. I understand your point. You feel since she reached for the mic first he was justified in his reaction. I disagree. Don't think any less of you for your opinion. From all I've seen on niketalk over the years, you seem like a pretty stand-up guy. I even remember voting for you for something or other back in the day.

Lmaooooo bruh is NOT a matter of opinion, someone attacks your personal space, you are within your right to defend yourself....he never once went in an offensive action towards this girl, he simply blocked and pushed her hands away as she kept trying to snatch the mic from his hands....let the man ask his question and get his answer....that’s the job of the press.

 

[lightweight champion]

We can agree to disagree on this point.

No, we can’t. One of us is right...while the other is you.

I went to a public elementary school with 90% blacks, a gifted school that had every ethnicity, a middle school with 70% whites,and a 50%/50% high school and was in the IB program.

Every teacher highlighted students with the best grades.

I need multiple angles and a Max Kellerman breakdown before coming to any conclusions.

 

[AEA18]

Surely the intern didn’t initiate anything, surely she didn’t approach Jim while he was trying to do his job and aggressively tried to snatch the mic away....SURELY Trump supporters didn’t see that...also Fox is scum for standing by and approving this attack on their fellow journalists

Faux News supports the orange clown and like all orange clown supporters it's all good until it happens to them.

If none of these were in Decatur, Ga, then we weren't in the same spot.

Amen. We need to gather all the facts and hear both sides of the story before coming to any conclusions. She was just a kid. Shes the real victim here. It's only 20 seconds of action and, let's be honest, Jim was kind of asking for it the way he was acting.

Hmmm I wonder what the narrative would have been during Obama era and it was a Fox reporter and Obama ordered a young black female intern to snatch the mic away from said white Male reporter...hmmmmmmm I WONDERS...

Well said comrade. Only thing she did wrong was not working off of the jab to break Jim down.

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ga, less than 1.5 hours away.

Also my best friend is a current teacher in the greater Atlanta area. We always talk about how admin encourage them to highlight students as a way to show positive reinforcement and persuade other students to seek help from their peers and study harder.

So what's your next excuse?

Bernie wants to lead the resistance but as Audre Lorde has said, can't dismantle the masters house with the masters tools

 

[gry60]

His actions were clearly inappropriate. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to an event where a mic is passed around for questions, but you don’t use your hands to physically block the person who retrieves the mic from getting it. Even if they reached first. Even if you say pardon me.

Trump went back and forth with several reporters at the press conference, but Acosta is the only one that ended up with the suspension. It is justified. Acosta had already made his point. It was inappropriate behavior.

Paris, is it you?

This ****ing snowflake dwalk holds a bunch of random posters on a sneaker forum to a higher standard than the "leader of the free world". Troll.

It's worse than that. He deflects and obfuscates. His goal is to reduce the posters in this topic to the level of the deplorables. He's definitely a troll.

 

[the natural mystic]

She violated his personal space by trying to snatch the mic away at the end of the day.

No excuse bruh, I honestly thought you were just joking. I think I've lost your point.

I’d love to meet up and have a discussion about politics. It’s very interesting.

 

[lightweight champion]

The ridiculousness to think Acosta was unnecessarily and physically abusive to a White House intern while supporting a guy who lauds body slamming a reporter is astounding. That is what it means to be presidential now? The lengths you have to go to to be that willfully ignorant...

Told rusty a while back we should all meet up and grab a beer. It would be interesting to see some of these posters' reactions to discussions in real life. I have friends on all ends of the political spectrum and we chop it up respectfully.

 

[NickFolarin]

No excuse bruh, I honestly thought you were just joking. I think I've lost your point.

No. You just proved my point. You voted for Trump. You’re to ashamed to even admit it. You’d rather walk around with the illusion that you on the fence rather live you truth.

Normally you are above the base-less accusations and name-calling. You good?

 

[gry60]

What I have come to realize, that amazes even me at times, is that people can watch the exact same video and see something completely different. I think the phenomenon is called confirmation bias.

[dwalk31]

No, you just want me to tell you who I voted for. Or, if I voted at all. I don't really know why you want to know, but I don't have to tell you--in any event. You should really research the secret ballot and why it was important historically.

I could never TBH. You can have open discussion with people who can’t be open about themselves and their own truths.
