Why is everything about race all the time now?

Give us a good reason why Michael Phelps should give up his honor?

you increase your honor by giving up your honor. You prove that you are not a racist by accepting that you have to prove that you are not a racist. You prove you are a real man by letting a Muslim woman taking away the privilege and honor you earned. You prove that you have authority by not exercising it. SOME people from the left has been using this type of mind trick against decent whites and males for a long time.

How can anybody believe in a great country, The United States of America, asking somebody to give up the honor of carrying his own country's flag simply because he is a white male is acceptable. wow

Muslim-American Olympian Criticizes her Country | Frontpage Mag

She's been on Ellen - she's met the president - the country has given her the opportunity to pursue her dreams and yet she's still not satisfied. Race and religious belief mean nothing - it's an athlete's dream and determination that makes an Olympian.

Meanwhile, those same crybabies who complain about everything being so "PC" are probably the same ones whining that Gabby Douglas didn't put her hand over her heart during the National Anthem after The Final Five won Gold.

Well maybe she knows that she doesn't live in a vacuum and isn't insulated from racism and discrimination despite her personal accomplishments.

We'd all like to believe that being a top athlete and competing in the Olympics can isolate you from the real world, but that just isn't true. Maybe the example of Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Olympics come to mind. How about Muhammad Ali, also an Olympian, who used his celebrity to bring attention to social justice?

So telling someone to "shut up" because she's accomplished a lot in her life and be blind to the issues in this country may suit your political dogma. But that ain't the case.

Where exactly do you get off talking about my political dogma? It's fine to bring awareness to issues - it's quite another to expect to be given something just because you feel you've been slighted. I'm sick of bending over to conform to all the PC snowflakes. Time to pull up your big boy pants folks - the politicians may suck up to you for your vote - but most of us could give a crap about PC.

So Kamau Bell is a white nationalist and an idiot? Hmmm, I wonder if he is aware.

Bell retweeted someone calling Trump an "overpaid ni^^er".

So I doubt his white nationalist roots are that strong.
