What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[Rev. Rye]

Looking at it, there are more factors than the simple historical. But I still stand by the fact that the reasons for the decline of the black family still is largely due to oppression, from poverty to disproportionately high rates of incarceration. Even that Wikipedia article you linked to focuses largely on the environmental factors behind it.

You can argue that blacks were oppressed more AFTER the civil rights movement than before all you want. It's pretty amusing.

Or that the oppression continued in a form that was usually less overt, but possibly more insidious, than in the days of Jim Crow, despite the government saying it was going to at least maintain some pretense that they were truly equal in the eyes of the law.
