Re: Taking The Knee
I can understand many reasons not to kneel, but I didn't even see coming, " black lives matter, burn churches and Bibles" as one.
BLM also eat babies and operate an international conspiracy to control the world, I read it in the Protocols of BLM.

Re: Taking The Knee
It's sad that something that is so relevant and genuinely an issue is discarded because of the intricacies of the 'movement' and people behind it.
Whilst there are quite possibly many, many things wrong with the BLM 'organisation' and people who set it up, taking a knee to make people stop and think about not being racist is, in my opinon, at the very basic level a good symbol in the faces of the masses.

Agree.
But some people just can't deal with having to actually consider something like that.

They do not. But kneeling, or other forms of overt expression of viewpoints and position, is taken as "ramming it down our throats". Which it should not be. Sometimes, silence is what allows certain behaviours to flourish unquestioned. So a public demonstration becomes "ramming it down our throats" because some people don't want those questions asked.
