But hey, feel free to send Kap an e-mail. I'm sure he'll get back to you.
Unless you took a knee yesterday I don't care what you say on why they did it.

They have billions of dollars, union reps, and endless amounts of airtime to give us one example or one solution or a link to a website.

Nothing.

I'm pretty sure he can walk and chew gum at the same time.

So yes, your talking point, which was the universal headline on all media outlets fro
the Washington Post to the Huffington Post, is false.
LOL are you sure

There is NOTHING disrespectful about kneeling. If you want to argue that sitting is, fine argue that but we kneel when we pray. If you go before a king you kneel.

Kneeling is a sign of respect saying "Here I am before you, I have something to say, please listen".

It's not hard to make the linkage to what they are saying and the various reports that have come out in the last few years demonstrating these things.
If it's that important to them they surely should know a few specifics or have a uniform front on why they take a knee.

The most interesting part of this is that we now have two groups of kneelers:

Pre-Trump speech kneelers and post-Trump speech kneelers.

Are they united? Are their goals the same? What are those goals? Why did it take Trump's speech to get the others to kneel if they are indeed united?

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

It's true, in the last few days it has morphed a bit for some people. But this is something that has been going from before Trump.

You can chat and give me your opinion.

I'm just pointing out that all both of us would be doing would be speculating.

Just like in court when the prosecutor asks someone on the stand how another person felt about what they did...gets immediately objected to.

I'm not emailing Kap.

Aren't you curious as to the motivation behind why the second group decided the Trump speech was grounds to kneel?

Whether you support them or not it would be nice to know what is going on. And it's pretty outrageous a group with so much power can't tell us what they are doing in any semi-coherent way.

The second, recent, group are definitely doing so in support of the first group (Kap + the few others that did the same thing?). And there is certainly an anti-Trump feel to it.

I'm not necesarilly claiming they have the same motivations. I was, earlier, really only talking about the protests started by Kap.


To your last point - I certainly am not claiming this is a well-run protest or movement. But I don't think it is that unclear why he started doing it. Absent a website or the checklist you want to see, I don't know if I have anything else to add here.
