What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[TheBeardedDude]

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."

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.

White privilege isn't the only issue at hand when it comes to racism in the US. Minorities being racially profiled and treated with racial prejudice by people who are supposed to be peace officers, is the topic at hand. Those same peace officers unequivocally murdering minorities for seemingly no other reason or justification than "I was scared" is the issue at hand. If they are too scared to do their job correctly and objectively, then they need to get into another profession where they aren't equipped with the means and authority to harm innocent citizens.
