What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[Neo-Scholastic]

Is there a correlation between race and income? Yes. Not sure how that relates to crime. Unless perhaps the suggestion is that poor people are more likely to be morally corrupt. I don't believe that. Is the relationship an obvious sign of current oppression? No. Just because a certain demographic is less successful doesn't necessarily mean that another group is actively working to keep them down. It seems much more likely to me that the gap can be adequately explained as a legacy of actual oppression in the past and not active oppression today. As such the current correlations are accidental effects not essential ones; whereas in the past they were essential and not accidental.
