Another innocent dip into the ol’ mailbag produces an embarrassing bit of mucus:
The knee is not the only problem with the black football player. . . 68 children by 52 different women by 7 players!
Children raised in fatherless homes, especially black children, are far more likely than children raised in two-parent homes to engage in criminal behavior and thus, have contact with police. Ergo when they father a child with a woman to whom they are not married—or at least living with—they are contributing to the problem against which these football players are taking a knee
If you look at many of these players’ records on out-of-wedlock children, you find that they are contributing significantly to the problem against which they are protesting.
For example, Antonio Cromartie has 12 children by 9 different women. Apparently, the NFL had to shell out $500,000 before he could even play football for them. Travis Henry has 11 children by 10 women, Willis McGahee has 9 children by 8 women, Derrick Thomas has 7 children by 5 different women, Bennie Blades has 6 children by 6 women, Ray Lewis has 6 children by 4 women and Marshall Faulk has 6 children by 3 women.
They forgot to include Adrian Peterson: 11 kids from 7 different women?
Before these guys take a knee they should take a good look in the mirror
It appears that their problem is not the knee. It’s their zipper.
There’s just so much idiocy present in this post it’s hard to believe anyone took it seriously, but I’m sure a few did. Here’s a bit of critical thinking, not the ‘nodding in unison’ that leads to so much evil.
First, if you really, really want to talk about skin color, shall we go off on the white race and how certain members produce children like they’re rows of corn? No? How about Mormons? No, you go first, author of above nonsense, because they’ll tear you – ever so nicely – limb from metaphorical limb for criticizing their families. Baptists? White football players? I won’t. I respect all of them too much – and that last bunch would just beat me up for such racist nonsense.
Two, no evidence of any negative consequence even appears in this post. Isn’t that interesting how credulous readers think there is? But, when you think about it, when you remember the other racist pap that spews out of anti-Americans like these folks, IT IS IN FACT UNLIKELY. Remember the wailing and whining about their salaries in other emails, probably from the same morally-challenged author, and how that should make them grateful that their extended family members seem to be shot by the police a lot more likely? Well, you know what those salaries could, and probably are, used for?
Yep, taking care of those big families. Food on the table, fathering (remember, the cited Adrian Peterson got a little too intense in his fathering techniques), all that sort of thing.
Three, half a dozen players are held up as examples for the rest of the league’s black (remember, this guy is racist) members? REALLY? How many counter-examples do we need to drive home that this assertion is idiocy? Every group over 50 members, at a guess, will have at least one thoroughly execrable member. Does that justify this mass condemnation? Tell ya what, just about every religious denomination has a clergycritter that’s committed child molestation, murder, rape, or some other ugly crime. Shall we condemn that lot for the crimes of a few?
And, finally, this author tries to slide a subtle point by the inattentive reader by not mentioning that the point of the Take a knee protest had to do oppression of blacks. Not with children specifically.
In the end, this is another attempt to sow divisiveness in America, because by discrediting the Take a knee movement, it also removes the focus from the real and legitimate problems afflicting black communities in the United States, and how some are still caused by racism, both overt and unconscious. In essence, this author wants to weaken America, because, of course, if we don’t hang together, we’ll all hang apart.
