  1. With the 1st pick in the 2015 NFL draft the Tennessee Titans select...a pack of now o' laters and a cup of water.
  2. I started this thread to point out that what Teddy did consistently in college he was able to accomplish at the pro level for one game. For those that are stating that he is being crowned or made the next messiah, please go back and read the original post. IF Teddy's game translates to the NFL, then clearly the Titans FO made a huge mistake passing on him. Taylor Lewan might become an elite LT. Would you rather have an elite LT or elite QB in this league. I would always take the later. The Titans FO and scouts should've looked at Teddy's performance and not his hand size or chicken legs. Lol
  3. I haven't seen much of Bortles and even less of Carr. Both sound pretty solid. I've watched Teddy for 4 years at UofL and what he did today is what he did in college. BUT we all know the NFL stands for Not For Long, so I'm curious to see how all these rookie QBs respond when defensive coordinators start adjusting and attempt to take away bread and butter plays as well as reads/throws that are strengths of each QB. Should be an interesting... P. S. Must be nice to be a fan of the Jags, Raiders and Vikings and look forward to the next game compared to being a fan of this team
  4. I saw parts of the game. Looks like his game translates to the pro level. What did he do in college? Pinpoint accuracy Throws that allow WRs to run after the catch Keeping plays alive in the pocket and making throws with pressure in his face Not ducking his head and running around scatter brained when the pocket breaks down Running ONLY when he needed Made the players around him better Very rarely makes mistakes or poor decisions with the ball. He just did all this at the pro level. It's exciting to watch a QB that can move the ball down the field. Minnesota just saw the Teddy effect...the whole team gets a boost Not sure if he can keep this up, but WOW, what a first game for a rookie QB. Taylor Lewan might be a great player, yet this FO will be kicking itself in the rear for passing on Teddy.
  5. And let's look at data for robberies... I guess "white" collar crime is easier to get away with
  6. FBI stats, 2011, show that 83% of "white" murder victims are killed by "white" perpetrators AND 90% of "black" murder victims are killed by "black" perpetrators. If more Cops would shoot unarmed "whites" maybe this would reduce the number of "whites" killed by "whites". All those dangerous "whites" need to be controlled and just shut up and do what their told.
  7. Nearly 70 percent of the 242 people exonerated by DNA testing to date are people of color. These exonerations have spotlighted racial bias in the criminal justice system and the need for reforms that address these inequalities. The Innocence Project in Print recently sat down with Christina Swarns, Director of the Criminal Justice Project, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who said "priority one must be decriminalization of the black community." - The Innocence Project
  8. So Just How Dangerous Are Black Folks? The Trouble With Right-Wing Data Analysis First, according to the 2008 data Williams relied on (see Table 42), which is the most recent comprehensive data published by the Justice Department on violent crime victimizations, that year there were approximately 3.6 million violent crimes involving a single-offender. These crimes include assault, both simple and aggravated (mostly simple), robbery, and sexual assault or rape. Of those 3.6 million violent crimes, whites committed 2.1 million of them (58.4%) while blacks committed about 830,000 (22.8%) About 442,000 (or 12%) involved perpetrators whose race was not known to the victim. Thus, for crimes where the race of the perpetrator was known to the victims (about 3.2 million crimes), whites would have committed about 66 percent (two-thirds) and blacks about 26 percent (one-fourth). If we assume the same rough racial distribution for crimes where the perpetrator’s race was not known as for crimes where the offender race was known (a reasonable guess), this would mean that whites committed an additional 300,000 crimes, roughly, while blacks would have committed an additional 115,000. In all, this would mean that in 2008, whites committed roughly 2.4 million single offender violent crimes, while blacks would have committed around 950,000. Since there were roughly 31 million African Americans, age 12 and over — and thus eligible for consideration in crime data — in 2008 (this is noted in the same DOJ tables Williams and I are both referencing here), at most, this would mean that for every 1000 blacks in the population there were 30 criminal offenders, and thus, at most, 3 percent of blacks committed a violent crime in 2008 (meaning, importantly, that at least 97 percent did not). And since there were approximately 205 million whites, 12 and over, in the population that year, this would mean that for every 1000 whites in the population there were 12 criminal offenders, and thus, at most, about 1.2 percent of whites committed a violent crime in 2008.* Of course, in truth, and for both groups, the numbers are quite a bit smaller than this. After all, the 30 offenders per 1000 persons (the 3 percent rate of offending for blacks) are not 30 different people. In other words, to say that 3 percent of blacks commit a violent crime each year would assume that each offender committed only one crime, such that the number of offenses equalled the number of offenders, but that isn’t the case. There are, as we all know, many offenders who commit multiple offenses each year. As such, the number of offenders would be quite a bit smaller than the number of offenses. Criminologists have estimated, for instance, that 70 percent of criminal offenses are committed by just 7 percent of the total offenders, meaning that there is a small hardcore group of seriously predatory criminals out there doing most of the crime. This would mean that 93 percent of all offenders commit just 30 percent of the crimes. So this would mean that of the 950,000 violent crimes committed by blacks in 2008, 70 percent of them (or 665,000) would have been committed by just 7 percent of all black offenders, while 285,000, roughly, would have been committed by the other 93 percent of offenders. If we assume that the 93 percent who weren’t the major repeat offenders only committed one crime each (likely a conservative estimate, but one which errs on the side of the right-wing argument by maximizing the potential numbers of black offenders), this would mean that, at most, the 285,000 offenses actually equate to 93 percent of the offenders. If 285,000 represents 93 percent of all black offenders, then the remaining 7 percent of offenders above that number would come to only an additional 20,000 or so offenders — major hardcore criminals who commit about 665,000 crimes each year. This would mean that at most there might be a little more than 300,000 individual black violent offenders each year. As a percentage of the 12 and over black population in 2008, this would represent only about 1 percent of all blacks who will commit a violent crime in a given year, versus 99 percent who will not. Even if we just restricted the analysis to black males — and even if all these crimes were committed by males, which they were not — it would mean that no more than 2 percent of black males would commit a violent crime in a given year. This alone is an important point to keep in mind, as it suggests that having a generalized fear of black folks, or black men, is the height of statistical irrationality. http://www.timwise.org/2013/08/race-crime-and-statistical-malpractice-how-the-right-manipulates-white-fear-with-bogus-data/
  9. If you have any Fox (Lie) News Friends, then you can let 'em know that their hero, Bill O'Reilly, grew up in subsidized housing from the 1945 GI Bill ("white" affirmative action). Levittown was the first suburbia built with federal subsidies for WWII veterans, which gave them access to low-interests loans. Over 98% of the monies went o "white" veterans, although over 1 million veterans of color served in WWII very few were allowed to access this subsidy. This federal policy actually built what is called "the middle class" and researches point to the disproportionate access given to "whites" and denied to veterans of color as one of the major factors were gaps in wealth today. This is usually a fun discussion...for those with more than 10 functioning brain cells.
  10. Me. If you want to shock your co-workers some more read "The Children" by David Halberstam (A true accounting of the civil rights movement, not the bullshit that's taught in the education industry.) or "When Affirmative Action was White" by Ira Katznelson (A history of policies that were primarily distributed only to "whites" although in writing all folks that met criteria were supposed to benefit.) or "The Protest Psychosis" by Jonathan Metzl (Schizophrenia was a mental health disorder for mild mannered "white" men, then it was used on "white" housewives who thought their spouses were cheating and in the 60s it was used to remove civil rights advocates from protesting and this is when the criteria for aggression/violence was introduced. Makes one think twice about the whole mental health field). If you really want to drop a bomb on them read "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. The first time I picked up the book I read the first 3 chapters and was so pissed off I had to put the book down for a year.
  11. This organization is going to regret not drafting Teddy Bridgewater. He will be an elite QB
  12. These people don't get shot by police There is a pattern of these people getting shot by police while being unarmed Or choked to death while being unarmed There is also a pattern of what's called institutional inequities, which means certain groups of people are either OVER represented or UNDER represented due to institutional practices although certain groups of people engage in certain behaviors at similar rates. For example, 3 = 3 in the real world, BUT in the racist inequitable world 3 = 5 (OVER representation) or 3 = less than 1 (UNDER representation). This disproportionality has intended and unintended consequences for all people. Such as in Kentucky, children that experienced a near fatality or fatality that were KNOWN to the child welfare system between 2006-2010 were likely killed or almost killed by their "white" parents in the majority of these cases. So although "white" families are UNDER represented in the child welfare system, this DOES NOT mean that "white" families are less likely to be perpetrators of child maltreatment. "White" families are more likely to get away with it - unintended consequence. I hope the pictures helped the racists on the message board. We will help you overcome and find your humanity once again!!!!
  13. And I'd teach my kids even if the police DON'T have a reason, they will kill you. All kids must have/learn those 40 developmental assets to be healthy and successful, YET black and brown kids need to learn skills to survive a racist culture as well. Very, very sad in 2014.
  14. According to FBI stats 83% of white murder victims were killed by whites. That's a f'ed up culture. Although youth report using illicit drugs at similar rates hispanic youth are 3 times more likely to enter the juvenile justice system and "black" youth are 5 times more like to enter the juvenile justice as compared to their "white" counterparts. Several studies confirm this, most recently the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Bureau of Justice Statistics state that 1 in 3 "blacks" will experience prison in their lifetime. It ALSO GOES ON TO STATE "blacks and hispanics are 3 times as likely to be searched when compared to their "white" counterparts. Blacks are 2 times as likely to be arrested and 4 times as likely to experience use of force." The Human Rights watch states 14% of all drug users are "black" yet "blacks" are 37% of those arrested. Once sentenced "blacks" are 20% more likely to be sentenced to prison and receive mandatory minimums compared to their "white" counterparts.. NO WONDER "black" people go to prison at a higher rate...the system is rigged DIPSHIT. By the way, "white' youth are more like to be to sent to mental health services for illicit drug use because they are deemed valuable and important to this culture. STOP your RACISM
