    Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

    Not a good counter. A person is allowed to decide who "his/her people" are, if they so choose. You telling someone else who "their people" are is arrogant and, considering the history of the racial divide, insulting when you aim at a minority. It implicitly says that you consider that minority to be a separate people. While one might say it's questionable for members of a minority group to set themselves apart (though, I think it's pretty natural and understandable when they've been embattled for many years), it's definitely inappropriate for a member of the majority group to do it, especially when that majority group has a history of discrimination/oppression.

    Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

    Let me get this straight. A black person can tell me that his people are a separate and unique group of people, but if I agree with him then I'm a racist??

    If you were to shout "I'm a fucking American!" would you feel the meaning is the same if a French man shouted "He's a fucking American!" ?

    You can't do that, you crazy bastard. Drago plays for the Utah Jazz. That would be un-patriotic!

    So you consider "my people" to be the same as "my fucking people"?
