You ever heard of the term "safe black"?? That's what most people view Russ as. 

I'm almost positive that if you got Cam in a room and allowed him to just be him, his sentiments would be much different regarding police brutality and racial injustices. He may be all about peace and love but given what I know about him and his crew/family, Im positive it bothers him. No he doesn't use race a crutch and I commend him for that because I think a lot of people use the "I'm black, the man won't let me do better" too much. But as far as what's happening, I'm sure he has a stronger opinion on it. 

Oh yeah, it's one of the reasons Russell annoys me :)

And I am absolutely sure if you got Cam alone he would speak more forcefully about the police; hell, get me in a room alone and I'll rant about bad cops all day (and I understand most cops are good people, but even us white redneck progeny have stories to tell.)

But if I am being looked to as a leader in my community I would speak from the heart in a way that I would hope would help, and I am sure Cam is doing the same.

I think Cam does want to bridge the gap, I just think if he didn't feel conflicted or felt like he was a in a lose lose situation, he would just voice his opinions on the matter because there's a way to do that and still want to bridge the gap with love, peace and unity. I'm sure that's what he's trying to do, but he has to be honest in his feelings first. I do not want him to come out and go NWA on us because he is a leader and he is supposed to be the voice of reason :-) I hate that he feels like he can't do enough to please anyone though. But like Ace Boogie said, heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Yeah, it's a tough place he's put in, hence why Rivera said he feels it's unfair that people look to athletes rather than elected representatives. We really do not hold our elected officials responsible enough as it is, it's sad that they seem to always be reacting to events around them and covering their own ass rather than taking leadership and rooting out problems in our communities before they explode.

This is a little off topic, but I think everyone is missing the big picture. We are all being manipulated by the media. It all comes down to views and clicks. What drives those views and clicks - drama, strife, controversy - not the good in people. Just think about it, you watch TV, listen to the radio, and visit websites like this one. Do you go there for the feel good stories, or do you there to get some sort of stimulation? What type of stimulation drives the most viewers? We are all puppets whether we see it or not. They produce stories that send us to them to bring in more advertising dollars. The media hasn't done anything to make the human race better, it's just pulled us apart because that's what makes them money.

How is this related to Cam. Cam is not much different. As outsiders, we can only really speculate on his true beliefs, but I can tell you Cam is smart enough to know that he will make more money long term riding the fence on the issue. You don't maximize revenue by alienating a segment of the population. 

When you watch TV, listen to the radio, or visit a web site, take the information you receive and put a different prospective on it. Know that this information is being filtered in a way to maximize revenue for someone. Don't let your emotions take over common sense.

The problem with Cam is that he's not giving his true feelings hence his "too real" comment. I'd much rather him remain silent then just say some poo he thinks people want to hear. 

Who does give their true feelings all the time. Only dumbasses, people with no filter, and children before they learn better. Most every intelligent person has a private side and a public side which is often very different. Obviously Cam has figured this out, haven't you?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
