Update...49ers Reuben Foster talks about offseason court case (suspended 2 games)

[TUSKtimes]

PS - The Constitution does NOT "guarantee" that all men are created equal. That's the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution enacts into law the formation, structure and authority of the federal government (a democratic republic) and the rights of the individuals and, in some instances, the states. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were and remain beautifully and artfully crafted documents. The problems have not been with their language but rather enactment and enforcement.

Which unfortunately is the measure of the law and the man. The integrity of what you say and teach has to be put in practice or you end up with the same hypocritical society we end up talking about as inferior to ours. Finding winsome words to motivate the masses isn't that hard because logical answers to everyday problems aren't that complicated. Common sense will do the trick most of the time. The problem has been all along getting enough honest people together at the same time to simply carry out what we said we would do. And that's, unfortunately, the true measure of the law.

It's not that your wrong with everything you have to say on the social front. I mean, there is some balance it what you see and state but when you make statements like this:

The deck is not stacked against specific people. In this case, it's all about the company you keep.

Then it all starts sounding really wrong. First of all, the deck has been stacked against minorities in this country for centuries and at times even the majority. The constitution guarantee's that all men all created equal. Even in an era that promoted slavery. Even though it took until 1920 and over a 100 years of women suffrage to get the majority of citizens in this country the "equality" to vote. Just exactly how long should it take to get the Constitution and Bill of Rights to kick in for everyone? You can't possibly believe that this selfish society is still not still harming those that are profiled as inferior on many social, secular and political, religious levels of society?

The latest example is the multiple tasing of a Black Milwaukee Bucks basketball player who's crime was standing in the parking lot surrounded by a group of police. Profiling is real and the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as always, seldom save anyone.

The concept that one shouldn't judge an entire group of people based on the actions of the few within that group should cut across all boundaries equally; racially, ethnically, sexually and financially.

Agreed except that we're not a democratic republic in that a simple majority rules. That doesn't even happen in legislation without a rare "nuclear option".

We're a constitutional republic, in that every state has a say in government and not just a federalized simple majority like other "democratic" governments.

Bugs me to no end when leftists like Obama and even the media continue to drive the narrative that we're "a democracy". We're NOT.

Thankfully, highly populated areas like California and New York don't decide the fate of our entire country.

Not to nit-pick, but as you said, we are not a democracy. A democratic republic is also not a democracy - it is a republic which is a representative form of government, which has some of those representatives elected democratically. The executive branch (the President) is elected via electors (representatives) using the electoral college (and as you alluded, this was very thoughtfully implemented specifically to avoid high density states like CA and NY from ruling the land). State representatives for Congress are elected by simple majority, hence the term democratic republic. The Constitution is essentially the operating agreement for the democratic republic. I know the term Constitutional Republic is very fashionable now, but the longer used "democratic republic," in my humble opinion, is more accurate.

Like you, it bugs me to no end when people drive the narrative that we are a democracy. We are absolutely not a democracy.

What bugs me even more is that our entire society seems to have completely forgotten about the 10th amendment altogether.

Ever wonder why so many black people go to jail?

This a joke, or a serious sociopolitical question?

If the latter, I'd say it has a lot to do with significantly higher rates of out of wedlock births which leads to many more fatherless homes, coupled with a thug culture of lawlessness that is promoted by pop culture which is marketed almost exclusively to blacks.

Yeah totally. Rap music is responsible for black people going to jail for drugs at about 10 times the rate of whites even though whites use drugs at the exact same rate, right? Your entire post looked like it was blurted right out of the face of that piece of shit Sean Hannity.

Oh really?

Then why do blacks make up only 12-13% of the population but commit over 52% of all violent crimes?

And yet whites are right at 62% of the population, but commit just 42%. Thats FBI stats, snowflake.

But let's visit your allegation of drug use and limit the scope to just that, but then factor the race %. You're STILL looking at an exponentially higher % of black drug-related arrests per capita by race.

Here's an article from left-of-center ABC news citing studies on the influence of gangster rap...

Rap Music Glorifying Drug Use

Of the 38 most popular rap songs between 1979 and 1984, only four (11 percent) contained drug references. By the late 1980s, that increased to 19 percent and by 1993, to 69 percent.

And that's just drug references. Thats not counting violent lyrics, and disrespect and degradation of women. 69% in 1993? Its even worse today. Fatherless (and thereby easily influenced) youth aren't affected by a culture that promotes and glamourizes thuggish and violent behavior? If you really and truly believe that, then I've got some oceanfront property in Nebraska for you to buy.

But noooooo, it's not a culture problem.

Noooooo, not at all.

I love it when people like you quote fake stats... From the FBI themselves, blacks make up 26% of arrests...

Table 21

Tell us some more lies snowflake. I know you only quote shit you get from Infowars and Breitbart because it sooths your little alt-right heart to tell us all how black people are just genetically more likely to commit a crime (because you're not racist right?).

And what the hell does drugs in rap music have to do with anything? You have the same issue with all the rock, metal, even country music that talks about drugs (and violence), too? Right? RIGHT? For some reason I doubt you have the same issue with Willie Nelson, David Allen Coe or even The Beattles "glorifying" drugs as you do Lil' Wayne or whoever else. Totally has nothing to do with the color of their skin, though, I'm sure.

Sure, 26% of ALL crime, maybe (which further disproves your claim about "decks being stacked because of institutional racism" bullshit)

But considering violent crime (when you read my post again)....Specifically murder, assault, and rape, the #s are way higher.

No. 1, you said crime not violent crime. No. 2, whites commit violent around 12 per 1,000 people, while blacks commit it around 15 per 1,000 people (again poverty, being in those types of neighborhoods leading to more but nowhere near the level you claim). And how does it disprove anything? Far more white people in this country meaning far more white people are arrest, but when you compare the PERCENTAGES blacks are arrested far more for drugs than whites are despite both races being involved in drugs at the same rate (see how you completely blew right on past my initial comment?).

I blew right past your comment because you blew right past mine. Learn how to fucking read, doofus.

And per 1,000 in densely populated areas does not tell the true tale when factoring total violent crimes vs total % of population.

But keep fudging numbers to try and bolster your failed argument while continuing to contradict yourself while proving my points. As in, you keep saying "it's only higher cuz...muh poverty arras!" -which proves my point about libtard policies keeping blacks on the poverty plantation.

Do you even social engineering, bro?

You just struck Bingo on the Lost Argument Bingo Card for Leftists... "RACIST!"

1) I don't watch Hannity

2) Nice typical knee-jerk retort when hit with facts that don't fit your false narrative.

Numbers don't lie, cupcake. Just because facts are true doesnt make me racist.

Now, show us on the bear where my fact-based arguments hurt your leftist feels...

I don't think he's going to appeal this either, and that's probably a good PR move on his part. This has to have been such a drain on his life that he's probably ready to just get it over with.

I thought Reuben could get as many as 4 games, especially with the drugs and firearm being a fact. So 2 games probably look good to Reuben too.

It embarasses me to see this University of Alabama attendee exhibit such poor communication skills, who comes across verbally as someone without a high school diploma. Hopefully, this is just stage fright and not a lack of education.
