    @benshawks08 Umm. I don’t think I can get your post back without digging into the database.

    You had good points in the post.

    @FarmerJayhawk he said he just got Kendis book and was looking forward to reading it fully but didn’t think he interpreted what Kendi had to say as you did and wanted to discuss more.

    Also you said that you recommend Grandmother’s Hands, a book about the psychology of trauma and there is a section about race.

    I see you man 🙂

    CENSORSHIP!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY DESPOTIC POWER DOESNT WORK! Give the power to the people!!! J/k. Mistakes happen. Thanks for all you do to keep THIS boat afloat.



  • I like the boat analogy for another reason. I’m just sitting here thinking, what does a boat that is listing to one side do? Goes in circles. Seems apt.



  • @benshawks08 but isn’t rocking the boat the last thing you want to do when it’s listing?



  • @approxinfinity who started this ship metaphor anyway. I think it’s stupid. What am I a boat captain now? (Me. I started it)

    I dislike this man but think it’s interesting that this statement would have been a radical view 5 years ago. It doesn’t seem radical to me now. And as calculating a person as k is I can’t imagine he feels it’s too radical either. Am I off?



  • @benshawks08 i thought he was talking to a 5 yr old. He’s trying to hard. Self is so much better! Anyone listen to the zoom call with the Star w/self, cuonzo Martin, Dayton Moore and 3 other leaders from the area?

    Still 90% chance he votes for Trump. K is a big Republican.



  • @FarmerJayhawk actions speak louder than words. He would never admit it though.



  • It will be interesting with KSUCK football this fall, all the back woods hillbillies that fill that crap hole on Saturday may not like the players standing up to this.



  • @kjayhawks it appears they don’t!







  • Wow. Donald Trump Implosion 2020. Even if it is sarcasm it doesn’t matter. Retweeting that is so dumb. Trump just doesn’t care any more.



  • I’m voting Amash, new video is going around twitter with Biden saying the N word. Let’s move on from the 2 party system that has crippled America!!



  • Amash dropped. @kjayhawks

    For someone claiming not to trust things, I assume you researched the context of that video? Is it the one where he is in a Senate hearing in 1985 and is reading a quote from someone? Or the one where Sean Hannity lied about Biden saying a “horrible word” that Fox bleeped out, when the word he used was “Negro”?

    No citation in your post leaves you appearing to endorse the contention that Biden used the n-word as an epithet. Nice job of helping out the other guy.



  • @kjayhawks do you have the full video?

    I feel like I would have seen this if this didn’t have any context to it.



  • @Kcmatt7 He isn’t good in supporting his “they are all bad” attitude.

    Perhaps it was one of these:

  • It could have been fake for sure, looks like it’s been taken down ether way voting for Trump or Biden seems wrong



  • @mayjay how is that? I believe democrats to be worst but still hate both. Let’s not forget a few short years ago Democrats thought that only police should have guns, now there either defunding or getting rid of it all together. I’ve never seen a group more hypercritical than the dems which says a lot because the republicans are plenty themselves. Just my opinion, the police brutality was still happening in Obama’s 8 years.



  • @Kcmatt7 well I find someone else to vote for I suppose.





  • I support your desire to break free of voting for either of the major parties. For us to be able to do so effectively I have a few considerations:

    • who is the other guy, the one you’re voting for? This is critical. He has to be someone good or represent a platform that is good. Can’t just be a Mickey Mouse write in. We need to establish new alternates that represent a better way forward, or else we get no where.
    • Is that person better than both of the major candidates? Also critical. These votes must do more good than harm.
    • Who are the alternative candidates for other levels of government? I believe to make sustainable change we need to find a way to get more independents or third party candidates into local positions and at every level. Our ultimate endgoal should be the House and Senate, but build up to that . We also need to make info about the candidates easily accessible to all that overcome major party bias.
    • What are the laws preventing third party and independent candidates from having a chance and how can we make our voices heard to change them?

    The Libertarian candidate this year is Jo Jorgensen. Libertarians are further right economically than Republicans and further left socially than Democrats.

    The issue for any politician not affiliated with the Dems or Reps is money. It costs a lot of money to run for office and most third party candidates don’t have the funds to run as a third party candidate. Most people who would consider themselves Libertarians that run for office will usually run as Republicans because that’s the only way to get enough funding to have any chance.

    The two biggest things that could happen in American politics to change everything for the better would be to restrict the spending and influence of special interest lobbyist groups and to enact term limits on Congress.

    Those lobbyist groups are what keep third party candidates from having a real chance to be elected because of they money they can pour into campaigns. When people talk about how can politicians get so rich when the actual position doesn’t pay that much comparatively speaking when looking at some of these Congressmen’s net worths, it’s because of special interest groups.

    The problem is there isn’t ever going to be enough support within Congress to enact term limits on themselves or to restrict special interest groups influence in politics. The Supreme Court is the barrier to Congressional term limits since the ruled in 1994 rules states can’t impose term limits on its federal representatives so you’d have to get the Supreme Court to overturn that ruling to prevent them from potentially declaring anything to do with Congressional term limits unconstitutional.



  • KSU’s president has announced that KSU cannot legally expell the student for his George Floyd comments which I think most here knew that was the case. They are creating some new diversity programs to appease the student athletes since expulsion would be illegal in this case.
