Turning the knee from symbol of protest to weapon of subjugation is too dramatically perfect

[unblock]

in protesting police killing of black people, kneeling becomes a symbol of protest.

Honestly, I don't think it was an accident or coincidence that kneeling is then used by the police to kill a black man. It's just too dramatically perfect. It's like something out of a movie. Scripted.

The slaves tried to escape, the slaver found out and made a show of beating the slaves with the very tool they used to try to escape.

This sort of thing doesn't just happen.

1. I was thinking similarly

It's hard to imagine it was deliberate, but yet it's also hard to imagine it's coincidence.

2. Nothing about these murderers would surprise me

they're capable of anything ugly and vengeful.

3. That really could have been going through...

... Chauvin's mind when he did it!

The drama over Kaepernick kneeling was very odd to me, and I hope African Americans don't think it bothered most white people. I never met one who gave a shit about it! I mean, it certainly didn't make them upset.

It seemed like another one of those generated controversies from the far-right, like the "war on Christmas" nonsense from Fox News.

Those people have a very loud and non-representative voice of people in this country. Don't assume that's how most white people think. (And TV shows about white families are mostly BS too. It's not REAL.)
