Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Amy Schumer’s Offensive Asian Tweet From 2010 is Coming Back to Haunt Her “I think they would be mad if I brought home an Asian guy. Just out of confusion.  They would just be like, ‘I don’t understand. Do you really want to fuck this guy?’”

NFL’s Proposed National Anthem Rules: Penalties for Kneeling Being Considered The league continues to grapple with how to handle players demonstrating during the national anthem ALBERT BREER Tuesday May 22nd, 2018 ATLANTA — On Tuesday, NFL owners put three hours aside for a privileged session to speak—amongst themselves and family members—about the most sensitive of topics. One was how the league will handle players kneeling during the national anthem going forward. An idea being floated in the room goes like this: It would be up to the home team on whether both teams come out of the locker room for the anthem, and, should teams come out, 15-yard penalties could be assessed for kneeling. The league is  currently being sued by Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid , with the two unsigned free agents alleging that NFL teams colluded to keep them unemployed. Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem, to protest police brutality, starting a tr

Not only would national anthem policy for NFL be harmful, it would be hollow ATLANTA — Memo to NFL owners: Forcing players to stand for the national anthem would be a huge mistake. Former 49ers teammates Colin Kaepernick (7) and Eric Reid take a knee during the national anthem in 2016. THEARON W. HENDERSON, GETTY IMAGES Sure, football players undoubtedly love their country and respect the armed forces. Yet with the league's owners set to begin two days of meetings Tuesday — the agenda includes discussion of possibly revising the anthem policy to effectively adopt an anti-kneeling clause — it is a great time for the league to prove just how much it gets it by … doing nothing to bully players over this issue. Besides, an anti-kneeling policy would seem rather hollow with Colin Kaepernick and his former San Francisco 49ers teammate, safety Eric Reid, out of work as they pursue collusion cases against the NFL. That Kaepernick, a quarterback in his prime, can’t land a jo

Texas shooting suspect won’t face death penalty, could be paroled The suspect in Friday's school shooting may be considered an adult in Texas state courts, but he cannot face the death penalty, according to a 2005 federal Supreme Court ruling. For 100 years, Texas has considered 17-year-olds to be adults when they commit crimes, according to research from  The Marshall Project . And Dimitrios Pagourtzis was charged Friday as an adult with capital murder and aggravated assault on a peace officer.

School shaved 7-year-old girl’s head without mom’s permission, reportedly said 'it will grow back straight' A Massachusetts mom says her 7-year-old daughter's head was shaved bald without her permission. Little Heroes Group Home in Dracut had Denise Robinson’s daughter Tru's head shaved about a week ago,  7News Boston reports . Robinson said her daughter, who previously had hair down her back, was told the decision was made because of hygiene.  "There was no hygenical reason for them to shave my child’s head. There was no head lice. There was no bed bugs. There was no, what I refer to as, rasta locks going on," Robinson, who is now working with a lawyer,  told station NECN . "Her hair was two pony tails on the side on Saturday and it was braided in the ponytails and there was nothing wrong."

Colin Kaepernick's collusion case against the NFL has reportedly already uncovered evidence that shoots down one of the biggest arguments against him Several NFL teams have been deposed in Colin Kaepernick's collusion grievance against the league, and it has reportedly already uncovered some eyebrow-raising information. ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio reported on Monday  that the collusion case outlines that when Kaepernick became a free agent in March 2017, several teams viewed him as a starting quarterback. Kaepernick has remained unsigned. While critics have acknowledged that his kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial inequality and police brutality played a part in his unemployment, many also argued that teams didn't think he was good enough to be a starter. Kaepernick's team has found evidence otherwise, according to Florio: "The ongoing collusion case is establishing that multiple teams viewed Kaepernick as a starting NFL quarte

People are threatening to boycott Netflix after the Obamas signed a deal with the streaming service Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have signed a  deal with Netflix to produce original TV shows and movies , and the conservative backlash against the streaming service has already started. Though Obama associates have said  it's unlikely  for the Netflix programs to be overtly partisan, there are still plenty of people on social media voicing their displeasure with the news - some threatening to cancel their Netflix subscription. It's not the first time Netflix has faced conservative backlash. In March, Obama-era UN Ambassador  Susan Rice joined the Netflix board of directors. Some subscribers were outraged because of inaccurate statements Rice made in 2012 after the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has also been critical of President Donald Trump in the past. During the 2016 presidential campaign, H
