How come? If there is an institution whose practices and outcomes are racially discriminatory, why not call the institution racist? Like, Oxford University is institutionally classist. Not every individual within the university is classist, but the institution itself discriminates on the basis of class. Same sort of thing?
What race are you?

I honestly believe that the parallel existences that those on both the wayward end of left and right opt into on social media has f***ed a lot of people up mentally. Like a kid in a candy shop, giving people exactly what they want rather than a balanced totality of the good, bad and the ugly realities of what they both believe and don't believe leads to very warped perspectives. Something tells me that those twitter "commentators" knowingly trotting out their intentionally easy to digest, one dimensional takes are doing much better financially from their venture than their adherents are emotionally. Edited by BlueJay (04 Jun 2020 3.46pm) Except this notion of 'taking the knee' has essentially taken on a semi-official approval. Uniformed cops, MP's and a whole host of others have publicly carried out the act by way of attrition for supposedly a colllective white guilt/responsibility for creating the conditions in which this particular killing happened. In terms of what happened to Lee Rigby has there been any similar gestures from anybody in a position of power? Any sign of a collective acceptance of guilt or responsibility from any Mosque or Muslim organisation? Plenty of them condemned it but that is hell of a lot different to these very public acts of contrition.

As with any protests that's one select aspect of what is happening right now. I certainly would prefer that protesters peacefully take a knee than cause problems. Do I agree that anyone should attempt to persuade or intimidate someone to do so where they don't want to or don't support that cause? Certainly not. Do I think that Colin Kaepernick peacefully taking a knee makes him a "son of a bitch". Certainly not. It's gone full circle.
