Say this for Charles Haley: the man doesn't hold back in conversation any more than he did on the football field.
The five-time Super Bowl winner and impending Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee recently spoke to the rookies at 49ers training camp, and delivered some blunt advice. "I know they probably got mad," he said, according to the San Jose Mercury-News, "but I said, ‘Why don’t you all act like the white guys? You never see them in the paper getting high or hitting people. Why don’t you act like that?’ They all looked at me crazy.”
Haley acknowledged that he made the statement "for the shock value," regardless of whether it was actually rooted in truth. (As the Mercury-News noted, fullback Bruce Miller, who is white, had just been charged with misdemeanor vandalism in connection with an argument with his then-fiancee. Miller later pleaded no contest.)
"The hardest thing is these guys, they have an attention span of a 5-year-old," Haley said. "I’m not the most gentle and kind person to sit there and deal with that crap. I’m a little more confrontational. I think I got my point across.”
Haley embodies a do-as-I-say, not-as-I-did approach; he was a legendarily destructive force both on the field and in the locker room. The 49ers grew so tired of his problems that they dealt him in 1992 to then-rival Dallas, and Haley carried anger for that deal for many years afterward. He retired in 1999 after a short reunion with the 49ers.
Worth noting: This isn't the first time someone has acknowledged that young players on the 49ers see the world a bit differently than their predecessors. Last month, the team revealed that it will allow players break times every half-hour to check social media and update their statuses. “I’m thinking, ‘My gosh, we sit in two-hour meetings,'" new 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said at the time. "'You are telling me after 27 minutes no one’s getting anything?'"
Chances are they got Haley's statement regardless of what point it arrived in his lecture. Unfortunately for San Francisco, it's going to take a lot more than Twitter breaks and fiery speeches to make the 49ers a relevant team this season.

Damn willie I guess that hurts when even black guys see a problem with the black community! The solution? Act like whitey! Oh thats got to hurt your brain!
Lets see if blacks acting more like whitey. Murder and rapes would drop in half. People could walk down the street without fear of being assaulted by black kids acting out the music they hear pimped out by big corps looking to make a buck off stupid ass blackies!
The biggest problem with the black community is well blacks progressives! Yes progressives who keep telling blacks its whities fault that it was whitey that rape his women and murdered their children instead of the black dudes that actually did it! Yep biggest problem in the black community is people like you Willie.

Charles Haley is mentally ill and suffers bipolar disorder.
And there's good reason to suspect that his judgement is probably impaired by multiple brain-damaging concussions suffered throught his collegiate & NFL football careers.

"And there's good reason to suspect that his judgement is probably impaired"
Telling his black teammates to act white doesn't sound like impaired judgement. Sounds rational to me.

Thank you Mercury News for pointing out that exception. I'm sure that's who Charles Haley was referring to.
Yep. Make it real easy for blacks to say, "See? White guys do it too."

Exactly. These nuts will now justify their anti-social, barbaric behavior on just the 2% of whites who engage in the same psychotic behavior.

Fixed.
Get help, Willie. There's nothing sadder than a guy who becomes a self-loathing white Marxist who's self-lobotomized himself.
Lemme guess -- you also now refer to yourself these day as "Caitlin"?

Yup. Spot on analysis.
It's white liberal Marxists whose self-loathing and projected guilt have sentenced the black communitah to a life in America's Planatation Cities, where they are taught by white liberal Marxists to hate Whitey and America, AND murder and destroy with impunity.
Is it your Catholicism's sacrament of GUILT! wreaking havoc with your conscience, Willie? I hear praying 'Hail Che' may suffice as penance for your sins.

Probably more like " Sharonda "

Heh! I'm guessing, "LaQueesha."

Your angry bigotry is coming through loud and clear...
So don't be surprised if the FBI comes knocking on your door before you shoot-up a movie theater somewhere.

Don't you read your own posts, LaQueesha? Your clear, obvious and DANGEROUS obsession of hatred and bigotry for Whites, the Tea Party, and conservatives has reached clownish proportions. You're tone deaf -- despite sitting right in front of an SPLC amp set to "11."
Don't be surprised if the FBI comes knocking on your door before you shoot-up a movie theater somewhere.
Nice Dog Whistle, Rat. Are you threatening ME, or just everyone at this entire forum? How much is the SPLC compensating you for being a troll, a rat, and a whore for the devil?

I agree with all you've said except the self loathing part.
They have a very high opinion of themselves, they are absolutely filled to the brim with smugness and self satisfaction at being A; White and 'smart', and B; have such 'compassion' for those poor souls who have NO chance at all, because of you evil scummy conservatives who don't have the 'smarts' or 'compassion' they do.
It's all your fault, how do they know this? It's just 'because'.....
#13. To: Liberator (#11)
I don't have to "threaten" anybody, pinhead.
I'm certain that they're already monitoring the more ignorant, loud-mouthed turds around here, same as they did at Goldi's.

Well, that's all true -- these Fascist-Leftists do appear filled to the brim in smugness, arrogance, righteousness, and self-deification in their subversive mission. Plus, who is smarter than a lib-leftist at MSNBC? Or Jon Stewart? Bill Maher? 0blabla? Hitler? Bwaaahaa!!
They've even managed to convince themselves that THEY are "compassionate" for the poor who have no choice other than to continue being tethered to their urban plantations. They prove it by confiscating YOUR money and MY money -- and taking THEIR cut of it by justifying their Den HQ jobs at bloated bureaucracy hives or by opening "Communitah Centers." Handing out EBT Cards, FREE stuff, playing "god" and Robinhood is their job. ALL from within the safety of their cushy 'burb home they share with "ignorant," "evil" white Conservatives.
I believe lurking just beneath the facade of their reptilian smirks and smiles ARE a self-loathing. How can't they be, knowing they are "privileged"?; Are "unfairly" born Caucasian? All that white-guilt and self-loathing never goes away; It just hides. Psychotics are experts at hiding mental illness and projection of their own dopiness.
The proof of their self-loathing is their collective self-damnation, their indoctrination of young white pod to hate themselves, their history, their heritage, and their support of "Hate Crimes" that ONLY apply to Whitey. Straights. Male.

Yet, you just did. RAT.
Trying to take down LF, eh RAT?

Thanks to you. RAT.

So all you cockroaches would have to go crawl under a rock and hide somewhere else?
Hell no... of course not...
it's a lot easier to just kick back and let you expose yourselves here where everybody knows where to find you.

You mean while you perform your task as forum provocateur? Does the SPLC pay you by the provocative title or by the word? Well, thanks for your admission.

Thats precious, Hey pot meet kettle! LOL
You and Vic have an abnormal if not down right rabid hate for the south. You guys have probably never actually been in the south.
Why is that? We do not buy that progressivism works? We don't and won't bow to radical communist christian views?

Actually, I've lived here in Houston for the last 10 years and previously lived in North Carolina back in the '80s. I have no rabid hatred of the south... only for the southern heritage of born-again Confederate ignorance & bigotry. The good news is that that hateful culture is rapidly dying off... even though it can't die rapidly enough to suit my preference.

America is the most polarized I have seen in my life time.
The most racist people I see are minotities and progressives.
Being a rebel is a good thing not a bad thing.
