Happy Independence Day

Facts don't get in the way of professional victims ACTUAL RACISTS like Colin Kaepernick

Racist slaveowners fighting against abolitionists. Fun fact, most of the popular support in favor of independence was because there was a conspiracy theory saying George III was a catholic and he would hand them over to France.

Does Kaepernick and Woke Twitter not see the eventual problem here? What happens if racists start appropriating the Pride Flag? Is he going to demand the flag be removed?

50's culture, 80's and 90's acceptance, isolationism, and a stronger stance on meritocracy.

Did you know?
That three US Presidents passed away on July 4, while one was born on July 4?

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on the same day in 1826, and James Monroe in 1831. While Calvin Coolidge was born in 1872.

This. Colin Kaepernick grew up a rich white kid, got a free college education, and went straight from college to makings millions a year. He is the poster boy for white privilege. Just because he has an afro doesn't change that.

Kaepernick never complained vocally about racism in America his whole life until after he started getting benched because some wyte boi did his job better.

I know it's called, "Liberty's Kids," but it bothers me that everyone except those three age over the course of the series.

That'd be nice.

They do, racists adopted the flag like twenty years ago, retard.

When did Kaepernick become CEO of Nike?

Guess we gotta ditch the rainbow flag since it's been adopted as a hate symbol too.

Lol. Conservative boycotts are so worthless they forgot they were already boycotting that company since last year.

well, you can only A. feel bad about black people being slaves like a million years ago or B. feel bad about chinese children being forced to sew shoes in sweatshops until their hands fall off.

I don't get it. The Republican Arizona governor has announced that they were removing all financial incentives from Nike as a direct consequence of this.
Why are conservatives celebrating that the government is punishing a private company for its speech?
I thought they loved freedom of speech and the first amendment.

It's 4th of July in half the US of A, so technically not too late.

This is all highly amusing.

It's the American flag. No American should take offense to it period. Stay honked faggot.

Huh? Did someone at Nike get arrested for this? Were their lives or families threatened? Did the governor of Arizona point a gun at their heads and tell them to stop? No? Then they still have their free speech, idiot.

>people forget the FUCKING UNION ARMY used this flag against the CSA
everything is painful

Maybe white supremacist groups could use pictures of Kaepernick so he could ban himself.

Interesting. The new conservative position is that it's only government censorship if somebody dies.
I'm sure that standard will also be used with a liberal administration.

why though?
i didnt read the thread at all

I'm pretty sure the first amendment forbids the government from punishing you for political speech.

>slut
>not bitch

missed opportunity there

Because Colin Kaepernick said so, and that's enough reason for most of em

This triggers ME, because that is the fucking EU logo.

Nike is not being charged with a crime. What is it the left loves to say when someone gets punished for conservative speech? Oh yeah, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

We had it first

Punishment by the government is different, user. Why is this so hard for the party of values to understand.

how?

Does not stop the pain.

at what point is a corporation is indistinguishable from government? Hint: such a point exists.

The kneeling football guy said it was racist for nike to put it on a shoe, hes signed up with nike so it became an issue and they stopped production of the shoe. Now its a thing.

Seriously, when will that guy retire?

Nike is free to take their business to any state that wants to do business with them. They are not being punished by the government.

You got it reversed.

He didn't even wear a damn afro until he got woke. Now he's trying to copyright the silhouette of a man with an afro as his personal logo.

>Corporation vows not to do a thing at no cost to them
>Morons like you are easily manipulated into buying more of their merchandise

How is it not punishment to have financial incentives removed as a consequence of political speech?
Would you find this acceptable if a liberal state did this? Because at this point it appears that the only moral value that conservatives have left is "but the liberals...".

People get fired for political speech all the time. This is no different.

maybe you'll feel better knowing that the EU flag has one less star

He's already retired lol. He lives such a cushy rich white man life, he'll never have to fuck up another pass ever again. He had multiple opportunities to join other NFL teams and spat on each one. The AAF would have made him the face of the league but he wanted ten times what they offered. And for all his "activism" and the world's attention, he's done jack fucking shit with it. He met with some natives on one Thanksgiving several years ago and donated a single million dollars of his money to charity (after inking a book deal with a guaranteed million.) He's the definition of privilege.

So you do believe that the government should be allowed to boycott its own citizens for their political beliefs.

This changes EVERYTHING!

>How is it not punishment to have financial incentives removed as a consequence of political speech?
it is punishment. But it's punishment by the consumers, not the government. Freedom of speech is guaranteed only by government entities - private ones are free to discriminate based upon speech a their discretion, so long as they do not violate freedom of expression laws. The list of these laws and their specific applications is long, but irrelevant here. People can freely choose to criticize a company for whatever reason they so choose.

I believe financial incentives for mega corporations (especially ones that exploit child laborers) is not a basic human right.

If by "boycott"you mean refuse to buy products, yes. The US government has no compulsion to buy from its citizens.
If that's not what you mean by "boycott", I suggest tat you look up the definition of the word

>But it's punishment by the consumers, not the government.
This makes zero fucking sense. The punishment consists of removing tax breaks and was dictated by the office of the governor.

second distinction: the stars on the BR flag gradually rotate, making the emblem a bit more circular. The stars on the EU flag are all pointed upwards

oh boo-hoo, some megacorp has to actually pay taxes for once in its existence. Cry more.

Nike is not entitled to tax breaks. If Amazon was allowed to pull out of their deal with New York, why shouldn't Arizona be allowed to pull out of their deal with Nike?

Well sure, user. I assume that when the next liberal president starts making databases of the political beliefs of every contractor and uses that to screen them, you'll have no problem with that.
Because fuck freedom of speech if you get to own the libs.

Because Amazon is a private corporation, and the government of Arizona is not?

I love how the conservatives in the US cry about theoretical liberal authoritarianism when the current president - who is conservative - has taken more steps towards authoritarianism than any president in modern history
Also,
>I assume that when the next conservative president starts making databases of the political beliefs of every contractor and uses that to screen them, you'll have no problem with that.

If I'm decided to not give you one dollar after I you acted like a dickhead I'm not taking a stealing a dollar from you I'm just not giving you one. They are not receiving a fine they were rescinded a grant.
The government does not have the obligation of giving grants to billion dollar corporation that employ child labor in terrible conditions user. And i find it disgusting you are so eager to defend them.

That's not how business works.

Both cases are an agreement between two entities. In any such agreement, either party has the right to pull out when they view the agreement as unfavorable for them.

>has taken more steps towards authoritarianism
How so?

>More steps towards authoritarianism.
Give examples, because right now the democrat's candidates are screeching about taking all guns away, increasing tax and one of them is talking about UBI.

>If I'm decided to not give you one dollar after I you acted like a dickhead
Why do people insist on pretending that the government has freedom of association?
There are multiple reasons why the government operates under different rules.
And, as many people have pointed out, this decision was based exclusively on their political speech. Nobody in the Arizona government cares about their child labor issues.

And I'm really laughing at the idea of conservatives pretending to care about corporate power right after giving 90% approval rate to a party that lowers their taxes and removes their regulations.

And it appears you have no problem with the government pulling out of contracts based exclusively on the political speech of the other party.
And I assume you'll have no problem when a liberal government does that too.

>and one of them is talking about UBI
Dems are mostly nutter butters, but Yang takes the cake
I imagine it's what AOC's attempt at the White House would look like

The state government of Arizona is not obligated to give Nike free money. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

Like I said, sure. I hope you'll still be agreeing when liberal states refuse tax breaks to corporations that support Trump.

Absolutely

Do you want to know how I can tell you don't actually pay attention to what the Dem candidates are saying, that you're willfully ignoring the way the government is being loaded up Trump stooges who ignore the law in favor of his whims (esp the Justice Department and the Supreme Court), and that you're a political shill?

Why wouldn't I be? No state government is obligated to give any corporation free money.

Generally, I think of Independence Day as a time when we can all put aside our political differences, and share a common celebration about the thing which unites us: America.

It's clear that I've been a bit naive

>/pol/ shitposting + loli furry

Because you're giving the government (not citizens, the government) motivation to keep track of which individual citizen gives support to which political issue.
I don't believe this will end up well and I think this should stop.

> gives no examples
> just attacks
All dems razed their hand when asked if they would give free healthcare to illegal immigrants, WHEN THEY ALSO WANT TO STOP BORDER REGULATION.

I actually did give examples but I guess you're too ignorant to recognize what references I'm making.
Also they don't want to "stop border regulation". You're just making imaginary claims. That's how I know you're a shill.

Corporations are not citizens.

You gave no examples. You made a broad statement with no specifics.

Corporations have the same constitutional rights as any other group of citizens. And yes, corporations have first amendment rights.

b-b-but Trump tweeted it! He would never lie!

There's a difference bettewn, "dems have crazy are crazy and their propositions are crazy" and "on the first democratic presidential debate in June all democratic candidates raised their hand when asked if they were in favor of free health care for illegal immigrants"
One is an example another is a vague claim. You made vague general claims,.

Nowhere in the constitution does it say that state governments are obligated to give corporations frew money. The CEO of nike has not been brought up on criminal charges for political speech. You're wrong, and you are just embarrassing yourself now.

>Also they don't want to "stop border regulation

Now shut up.

So it’s only government censorship if criminal charges are brought.
That’s an innovative demarcation, which I’m sure will remain consistent when a liberal holds power.

>plz read my blog

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yes

Nobody said that, but you are ignoring the point that the government has the prerogative of giving money to whoever it wants and not giving money to whoever it wants. If they decide to not give grant to a company who make "fuck america" shirts while giving money to a company that makes "america is great" shirts they are not censoring anyone but promoting the speech they like,.

vox.com/2019/6/26/18760665/1325-immigration-castro-democratic-debate
Is this more to your liking?

It’s not the job of the Arizona government to promote partisan speech it likes.

It's not their job but it's their prerogative. The government has always sand will always make pro American propaganda.

So your argument is that it would not be a violation of the first amendment if California fires all conservatives because no criminal charges are brought.

If a government employee goes around screaming "GAS THE KIKES I HATE NIGGERS" does the government not have the right to terminate their employment?

The employee gets terminated for loudly threatening other people with gassing them, not for having that opinion.
If the employee posts that in their personal blog, they cannot be fired.
Are you sure you want a country where the government can punish you for the things you post on Yea Forums?

I believe there a laws against terminating employment for political discrimination in CA so criminal charges might be filed.

>Freedom of speeach doesn't mean freedom from consequences

From the government, yes. It literally means that.

Ok so they just say "I hate niggers" and "Kikes aren't human".

It can still be interpreted as threatening. Just post it on your Facebook like a reasonable person, user.

>If the employee posts that in their personal blog, they cannot be fired.
False

That firing is under legal appeal, and I would seriously consider that a breach of the first amendment.

>And for all his "activism" and the world's attention, he's done jack fucking shit with i

Donating a sizable portion of his wealth to charity is hardly jackshit. He's actively campaigning and did donate more than a single sum of one million dollars.
