What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[John V]

And yet you seem to ignore WHY minorities have more encounters with police.

Yes, I do, and I've explained why - once police need to step in, the WHY no longer matters. It's just the WHAT that matters at that point.

Remember, Kaepernick was mainly protesting the police - "There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Alpha is on record as acknowledging that he receives white privilege.

Alpha is on record as supporting affirmative action to help minorities out of poverty.

But Alpha understands that when a group - be it males or blacks - commit violent crimes at higher frequency than other groups, they will also have violent encounters with police at higher frequency than other groups.

But Alpha doesn't acknowledge the inherent racism behind WHY minorities have more frequent encounters with police.

I'd say that acknowledging white privilege certainly acknowledges inherent racism.
