What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[Brian37]

One can be racist with perfectly genteel language is the takeaway from this thread.

Ah yes, I'm the racist who acknowledges white privilege and supports affirmative action.    Lots of those running about.

The real takeaway is that you guys see racist wherever you want.

No we don't moron. We are saying if you say you are not a racist, you are still giving others cover with your bullshit in this thread by criticizing the players pointing out that inequality still exists.

You sound just like a Muslim when they say, "Not all are terrorists"..... I agree, but those sickos are still using the same book to justify harm to others.

So if you claim you are not a racist, GREAT, awesome. PROVE IT by shutting the fuck up, and listen and understand and accept and face the fact that our economic and justice system DOES impact blacks more negatively than whites. If you are not willing to accept that, then you are a tone deaf moron.

But you are not going to get away with playing false victim here. Nor are you going to get away with vilifying the players whom are doing the right thing.
