Most Black people did not come to this country because it offered them a better life, They came in chains as a source of free labor. Between 1619 and 1865 they were bought and sold as livestock.

After the Civil War, they suffered Jim Crow and were not even given the vote in most of the states they inhabited until the 1960's.

Unlike the immigrants that came later, they could not blend in with the rest of the population as did the Germans, the Irish, the Jews, the Bohunks, Polacks and others who arrived with nothing, because of skin color.

But this woman does not deserve to be thrown in a Russian prison for years

for the minor offense she is accused of, and the only word for those who think she should be imprisoned for not worshiping the flag is ASSHOLES, because Americans are not required to worship the flag.
We sure as **** don't need a history lesson from the likes of you or anyone else that lacks respect for our country, our flag, our traditions, or the laws issued by another country!  This stupid bitch was never a slave and it's doubtful there were any of her ancestors from the past few generations were either, making your lectures on racism nothing but typical liberal irrelevant ****!  SHE was not discriminated against in her career as a ballplayer and to the contrary was probably paid more money than most in this country, and her fame has undoubtedly gotten her more attention than anyone else who has ever been arrested for drugs outside of the US and had to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Her singular advantage will now be that she's got a demented US president who hates this country as much as she does, and will probably end up getting her release from prison when Putin takes advantage of the situation and holds out for a deeply one-sided deal with the brain-dead turd he can easily bamboozle that will cost us far more than what this dumb bimbo is worth!

Any American in her situation has the perfect right to petition the President for assistance in such matters.
She is not screaming, she simply wrote a letter. And you don't think she has the right to do that.
Why? Because you are a racist asshole.
Piss on you!
 Back to Griner...the more she screams for special treatment and the more she "reminds" the rest of us how special she is and the more people we have like you who are all over this "liberal cause" like flies on ****..the more this whole shebang makes me laugh    Image

Her infraction was minor and harmless, and assholes in this forum want her jailed for remarks about the US flag, which are 100% LEGAL in this country.

Why? Because they are RACISTS!
Perhaps you are correct.  Perhaps they are RACIST!!  
If a country does not have a law against RACIST, but does have a law against bringing in multiple cannabis oils into their Nation ...  and a person ignores that fact ... how is that my problem???

She thought the rules didn't apply to her, ... she was wrong.

 "… As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever," the WNBA superstar wrote."On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran. It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year."

"Please do all you can to bring us home. I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I believe in you. I still have so much good to do with my freedom that you can help restore," the letter read in part. "I miss my wife! I miss my family! I miss my teammates! It kills me to know they are suffering so much right now. I am grateful for whatever you can do at this moment to get me home."

Used her influence to protest the National Anthem at games and went so far as to say it has no place in WNBA games and now she is begging for help from the US. That Karma is sure something, now isn't it.

Hash oil is like what distilled whiskey is compared to beer. 
I've had it a few times and always saw it as a novelty like if somebody hands you a shot of 151 Bacardi.
A person can get stoned quite well  from today's strains of very potent and unadulterated "Polio Pot" ..so I suppose only the most "FRIED POTATOES" nowadays need Hash Oil to get "the full effect" during one of their SEMI HOURLY  DOPE SESSIONS.

We have others that are probably truly wrongfully detained that we should focus one before her.  She screwed up and is probably being held accountable for the first time in her life.  Unfortunately for her, it is by an authoritarian regime who has no problem making an example out of her and using her as a political tool.
Bull **** hockey.  Straight on payback for the sanctions on Putin and his Nazi strategy in Ukraine.  And speaking of hockey...so, as I said before, lock up every Russian citizen NHL player...and start with that whiny, prick, cheap shot artist, Putin cheerleader, Ovechkin.  And keep them all locked up until Griner is released.  There's only one Russian in the NHL who has opposed Putin and his genocidal war...Artemi Panerin, who's family back in Russia has been threatened.  So Panerin keeps his freedom, which he has earned in recent days.  No first amendment in Russia (no second amendment either).

Arrest them then.  Besides, I have often pointed out US laws don't apply in other countries.

FYI...she has plead guilty.

****. She is lucky she was caught in Russia rather than China. Entitled brat was caught with what the US still considers a class A narcotic. She would have gotten ten years in Russia before the Ukraine thing, she would have gotten a similar sentence in many parts of America. Americans have done more time on American soil for Marijuana possession.

Remember the old Phrase, "When in Rome........".

Oh another idea came into my brain, when a person pretends to think like someone else, "If I were you I would _______________ .". the blank is empoying your own methodology of self deception different from their self deception used cradle to grave.

See universal equal action and reaction balancing out to both side lost the same thing given away willingly.

I will leave this post finally with one more thought about old sayings, "So goes a man, so goes mankind in the balanced whole left here now.".
