If you really want to show America you care about race and national unity, President Trump, then take the knee live on TV in the Oval Office
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 8, 2020 | Piers Morgan

Posted on 06/08/2020 10:01:59 AM PDT by C19fan

There was a barbecue in the town of Griffith, Indiana yesterday. It was possibly the most unusual and unexpected barbecue in US history. More than 400 people gathered in Central Park to protest about the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. They held banners with slogans like 'BLACK LIVES MATTER', 'END RACISM', 'COLOR SHOULD BE CELEBRATED', 'SERVE AND PROTECT' and even 'DEFUND THE POLICE AND DEFEND THE PEOPLE' and they kept up a steady stream of 'No lives matter until black lives matter!' and 'I can't breathe!' chanting.

Taking a knee is disrespecting America since it symbolizes hatred of the nation by refusing to stand for the national anthem.

IMO “Take a knee” and “Bend a knee” are synonymous, particularly in intent, with “Take a knee” using more contemporary inner city vernacular.

Everything is racism today. Go to the bathroom. that is racism. Go grocery shopping. That is racism. Go to sleep. That is racism. Eat a meal. That is racism. No matter how mundane, how routine, how simple, how complex anything is. It is racism. Listen to Tom T. Hall sing on you tube. That is racism. I do not care. It does not bother me to be called racists.

The reason the President should never acknowledge this symbolism is precisely because he is President of all the people, not just a faction. He should defend the Constitution which guarantees justice for all including the police officers that were charged in Floyd’s death. They are innocent until proven guilty and his signaling his subservience to the mob would undermine the very important protections that all accused persons must receive.

The concept of race itself is a fallacy. All humans are nearly identical genetically and the idea of “race” was an invention of the pseudoscience of eugenics. There are only individual persons and their behaviors which are the consequences of our agency. We don’t control the initial conditions of our birth or the conditioning of our upbringing but we are responsible for seeking the wisdom to understand how these influence our behaviors and strive to achieve a good life.

The last time someone made news by taking a knee in the Oval Office, that did not turn out well for democrats.

There is zero risk that President Trump would do something so undignified. Thank God!

I supported the Michigan sheriff who stood side by side with the protesters. These losers who kneel should be fired or demoted.

Coincidentally, I found out last week that my brother is friends with the Michigan Sheriff.

This morning I was on the Nextdoor app. Some virtue signaling rich white lady was all aflutter about helping organize a bow to our black overlords rally in the bad part of town.

She was all excited about laying down for eight minutes.

She made all kinds of generalizations about how wicked the average cop is.

I had to chime in. I asked her to provide the actual data fro her talking points including the citations.

She came back and told me to go to Google and “educate” myself.

So I did and presented her with several reports including a recent scholarly paper showing clearly that the police do not act racially. Including citations. I told her that I’d do the hard work and all she had to do to educate herself was to read.

Suddenly she got really busy and checked out. Surprise
