But this weekend, it seemed appropriate that our lovely inclusive group of Ds should show solidarity against racism and police brutality to minorities, by taking a knee. It's what they can do.
And I'm glad to report that the sports teams have taken the Dollivers lead and knelt, in complete groups, in solidarity. Well, maybe they weren't the first, since Kaepernick was out there alone for a while, but anyway, they're on it now.
It's about protesting misuse of power, and about expressing First Amendment rights in a respectful, nonviolent way. Everyone doesn't get that, but that's okay.
It's about time someone started protesting something...I don't seriously follow the news, but seeing the kneeling football players today, and then this, lit the bulb in this occasionally dusty attic.
ReplyDeleteGood for them, good for you, and the dollivers.
and a tip of the hat from up north!
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is a time of crisis and we have to do what we can to defend the Constitution and our republic. I don't talk much in here about what I'm up to, but I'm persisting!
