Don't be embarrassed. They speak only for themselves, not for you or millions of others who believe the same way you do. While BLM and other similar agenda driven groups presume to speak for all those who look like they do (literally and figuratively) and the corrupt news media would have you believe this is true, rational people know there are many who reject these groups and their message.

It’s more about getting Votes when elections come around.

Democrat Joe Biden went to his knees during his meeting at the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington.
The Democrat Senators did the same on the Capitol steps.


I guess that is what the Leftists want, a President that will kneel to them.
The trick is ... how do Normal People feels about a President who would kneel to those who demand Defunding of Police , Reparations, a black female as V.P. And no punishment for Burning, Looting and Riots?

Interesting times.

It’s going to get so bad that we are going to have to fight a war, millions will die before we can have a civilized society again. Untold years after liberalism will be reborn, history will be turned into something evil again and it will repeat. I think it’s happened over and over again right on this planet.

Liberalism/progressivism is the last disease I think.

Excuse me but where is the "Left" in this video because all I see are a bunch of White RELIGIOUS people kneeling.

But expecting such humanity and decency from a lot of white people may as well be like expecting an intellectual conversation from a dog.
If you're looking for "humanity and decency"...and "intellectual conversation.." don't expect to find it in locales such as Camden, NJ Trenton,NJ, East St Louis, IL, South or West Chicago.

You'll end up disillusioned.

Naw, a true Christian would never do that because they know they haven't done anything wrong, aren't racists so why would they be kneeling in front of blacks and begging their forgiveness? Those would be self-hating, radical left, guilt ridden white liberals without a brain in their heads doing that.
