It seems that police killing people in the street is acceptable but taking a knee during the national anthem sparked the most backlash this country has seen since 9/11. Now, I am not saying we cannot or should not discuss someone taking a knee in protest. But I am saying we should use twice that amount of energy discussing and attempting to eradicate injustice. A woman just got 15 months in prison for encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself. Meanwhile, a guy that actually ran a woman over and killed her got 22 days in jail and a fine. I would say, society has always had this mentality. When a school shooting happens, people blame art... like seriously, art. Sad, sad state of humanity. |
You forgot about the protests, rioting and property damage in backlash against the police.
