(OP) User ID: 78973486 United States 02/25/2021 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tennessee lawmakers on Monday sent a letter to each of the state's nine public Division I universities, encouraging them to enact policies to prohibit athletes from kneeling during the playing of the national anthem. Each of the state's 27 Republican senators, including Lt. Gov. Randall McNally, signed their approval of the notion in the letter, which was addressed to the universities' respective chancellors and presidents. The move seems to be a direct response to the East Tennessee State University men’s basketball team, whose players knelt during "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a Feb. 16 game . - from a link in OP Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

The Irish developed these very useful skills before emigrating from Ireland. here, they founded the political machines like Tammany Hall and dynasties like the Kennedy family and the Biden clan. as an urban group, the Irish have been close to blacks for many decades, and provided a role model for them.
