[quote=Iroquois][quote=rauldc14]It's a good film[/quote]

Never said it wasn't, I just said I wasn't sure I'd ever get around to re-watching it. I probably wouldn't have bought a copy if I thought I'd never ever watch it again, but I'm not in a hurry to do so either.[/quote]

[quote=Velvet][quote=Camo]I liked The Toy too as a kid but it really hasn't aged well. I mean it's about a rich white man buying a black man and giving him to his kid to do with what he pleases. I think the makers of the film just didn't realize what it looks like and simply cast Pryor because he was funny, but yeah it's pretty uncomfortable. Plus it's just not very funny as an adult, at least for me.[/quote]
yeah I think when I became old enough to think about it I was like that movies kinda messed up[/quote]

[quote=jiraffejustin]By the way, for whatever it's worth, Kap is probably not a top 32 QB in the league, and if he is, he is in the bottom half of that number. Not good enough, most likely, to be the key piece to put a team over the hump to make a legit title run. That said, he would be a potential distraction for a team with all the attention he got from his protests, right or wrong. If he didn't do this, he'd probably be on a team, but I think maybe his skill level is sort of being overrated throughout this and he is being thought of as a martyr. Perhaps there is some truth to that, but I don't think he'd be starting in the NFL without his protests, but he'd probably be holding a backup job somewhere.[/quote]

[quote=UpgradeYourDad]Also got pushed out for his actions. I know the NFL could do that, and that there are always consequences to actions but I’m proud of Kap for taking a stand.[/quote]

[quote=Dani8]Ah thanks, Camo.[/quote]

[quote=Camo][quote=Dani8][quote=UpgradeYourDad]Can’t really elaborate beyond what Yods has said. Lennon definitely was an idol of mine while growing up. The Beatles definitely played a part in my bands and the label I ran right out of high school. I’m personally at a point where I can believe in the message, just not the person.

As far as the anthem thing goes, the solution is fine. The players coming out and standing was a recent thing if I recall. Before that it was pretty much what they’re saying now unless I’m mistaken. 

What happened to Kap was absolute bull though. There’s a man I for the most part, believe in.[/quote]
I'm not American and don't follow the sport so I don't know who kap is.[/quote]

Colin Kaepernick, he was the first one to kneel.[/quote]

[quote=cat_sidhe]Yeah it came up on a "most racist" films list. I've never seen so I had no idea.[/quote]

[quote=Camo]Actually scratch that, just remembered there's stuff with the KKK in that film i think it was all intentional :laugh:[/quote]
