This week, Michael Phelps carried the American flag into Maracana stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was selected by his peers on Team USA after becoming the most decorated olympian in history, having won 22 medals and appearing in four previous Olympic games. Despite his many accomplishments, however, some are trying to argue that he didn’t deserve the privilege to carry the stars and stripes into the arena.
The Olympics — and especially the opening ceremonies — have long been recognized for their distinct lack of politics. Warring countries have marched alongside one another at multiple games in displays meant to show unity despite the world’s many ongoing conflicts.
Some, however, are trying to inject politics, political correctness, and accusations of white privilege back into the games. See who many thought was a more worthy flagbearer on the nest page. Be forewarned, it had nothing to do with her athletic ability:
Cnn shut up.
The great majority of Americans just happen to be white. Now we see what all this Anti-American BS is about. They are not content with equal rights, and blame “white privilege” for every failure of the minority culture, which leads to their lack of success.
There are large numbers of successful minorities, who were raised by caring families, and many who overcame much adversity through their own individual sacrifice and hard work, to become very successful and reach the top in their chosen fields! Unfortunately, the loser culture views their success as “cowardly uncle toms.”
People like Obama and Hillary just fan the flames of hatred for political gain, and they are used until the election is over, then offer nothing to improve the inner-cities but welfare. They are in serious need of a leader like Dr. King, but follow rabblerousers like Al Sharpton, who only cares about personal gain!
Just what qualifies CNN to make a judgement on this. You are there to report the news not tell us how to live.
Don’t let your thoughts or people or stupid fucking CNN narrate your perception of reality before you experience it. Those who divide and compare want you to go there…beware of this snare…….point your finger and you’re easily there. Fighting in a apathic delusion of despair with no care. Wake the$#%&!@*up Life Is A Gift. Act accordingly.
He’s an American hero.
CNN needs to shut the$#%&!@*up
