O/T would you 'take a knee'?

Crash, in other words, when will it stop? Depends how long its driven.

In reality it has correctly come to a head and respect should be given no matter what colour or creed, thing is someone will make mega bucks driving this on. Hopefully not in the wrong direction where it causes confrontation.

As Janus said on motd. It's ok taking the knee but what happens next? What's the next stage. Will it fizzle out or will it go on for so long half the population will forget what it's for

I would imagine the LGBT groups will be a bit miffed that the limelight has been taken away from them.

No problem with it, just don't need to hear about it each and every day

If Biden gets elected they will disappear.

The last time they were around was before the 2016 election.

Ironically if he does win he says he will give an amnesty to illegal immigrants, which means 20 million Hispanic citizens and that wall definitely won't be built.

I would guess that black people will fair worse in Hispanic America than white America, they're no pushovers, filled with "white guilt."

Still shouldn't have happened though. That cop had over 100 complaints against him.

Doesn't necessarily mean he's racist though, he may just be a bad cop who uses too much force against all suspects.

But nobody waits to find out.
