@averagejoe1 saidMaybe not you, but it's hard to deny that a large segment of conservative America was very offended by Kaepernick not standing for the anthem.
Here is AvJoe in a nutshell:
How can the guy who 'took a knee' have ANYTHING to do with me? That is my point, I can't possibly be offended by that. If he says he hates America or the flag, and you say you hate America and the flag, can you please give me a scenario whey that would offend me? Should I be like the guy with horns on Jan 6 and cuss you out? Please explain why that would be a normal response from me, because I truly do not see it.
Also 'happy holidays'. I can't wait for all those Laura Ingraham war on christmas segments.

@wildgrass saidSo you don't know why a person is offended by something that another person does. That was the crux of my question, but you avoid the answer, when surely you agree that libs are pre-occupied with being offended here and there. But you can't explain it? Can you say, then, why liberals get offended by something someone else does that has nothing to do with them? It is a simple question. I might as well ask the SHouse character.

Same sex marriage
Reproductive management
Fornication, or recreational sex as averagejoe liked to call it.
(now there's a word making a comeback)
Point being, you get upset too. that is not unique to a particular voting block.
Difference being conservatives get upset at change and progress.
How can we help you get over that ??
Well ........ 2050 is this way. 1950 is that way.
Somehow I don't think that will make the traditionalists happy.
But it's the best I can do for you.
@mott-the-hoople saidMy racism?
your racism really glares
This thread was created by someone who was clearly pissed off that he couldn't call Native American women "squaws" any more.
I bet you really miss calling black people "(redacted n-word)", don't you?
But here you sit, quacking about my racism.
Here's a clue for you, Adolf. Calling white people out for racism isn't racism.

@mott-the-hoople saidYou really should read this entire article to get some kind of beginning idea of what systemic bias is and why it's bad.
“ The Wikipedia project strives for a neutral point of view in its coverage of subjects, both in terms of the articles that are created and the content, perspective and sources within these articles. However, this goal is inhibited by systemic bias created by the shared social and cultural characteristics of most editors, and it results in an imbalanced coverage of su ...[text shortened]... nglophone countries.”

@averagejoe1 saidThis remains the core of why you probably shouldn't be talking about what is offensive and what is not.

@mott-the-hoople said🙄
you cracker!
Is that cracker at least a Ritz? Maybe a Town House cracker?
I like whole wheat saltines, too.
@mghrn55 saidYou assign convenient definitions to 'offended'.....probably different each time, depending on the scenario Well, we could then say I am offended by a skunk smell. You folks are a piece of work. And saying I get upset is quite a stretch. That is, when you dovetail it with offended. Upset is when I see the flag being taken down because of the cretin who 'took a knee' (creepy phrase). Do you see the diff?
You get offended.

I get upset with Biden wrecking the country, or when I type up great questions and libs dont answer them. I could scream!!! And chew my pillow !
Yes, I am a traditionalist. Earthy! But a realist, and I know you folks will win in the end. We will buried by the numbers. I'll be upset, but not offended.

@wildgrass saidBut you see, you suggest that a person of questionable character, for lack of a better description, is a person that would affect (offend) the said segment of America by his actions.
Maybe not you, but it's hard to deny that a large segment of conservative America was very offended by Kaepernick not standing for the anthem.
Also 'happy holidays'. I can't wait for all those Laura Ingraham war on christmas segments.
If a guy on a sidewalk hollers at me, You can kiss my butt!!, do you think that I would be offended????? Of course not. Do you see that there is no the difference between him and Kopernick person? Would I be offended by one but not the other.?
I would not be offended by either. They are the same.
And why won't you answer this question. ?
