LMAO at lazy displays of activism. What has changed since Colin K. first started this? What reform have we seen? Absolutely none.
CK could have done something powerful to make a change but he chose not to get off his knee and take action, so here we are - how many years later - with dopes thinking this display is meaningful, when in reality, it's a joke.
Staff, & coaches were all also kneeling in solidarity. A beautiful beautiful unified thing to see people coming together to say enough of the police brutality & racism in this country!
Wait until after the election....Cindy Sheehan 2.0.
So they take a knee in protest of America yet take a knee in submission to China for a few more dollars on their already bloated wealth. These people lack any true morality and do what they do to support their brand.
I hope they were also kneeling for Bernell Trammell as well.
Or wait, maybe his life doesn't matter. Black, sure. But Republican. Based on the silence of all these outspoken athletes when Drew Brees simply said he wasn't sure if he felt comfortable kneeling for the flag, I don't think he was included in the kneeling or their thoughts.
********* guys who kneel -disrespecting the country where they get paid millions to put a ball through a hoop! how in the hell are those gang banger thugs being discriminated?
no way i will ever ever watch read or talk about anything GD thing in the NBA - and you people who support them should get the hell out of our country too

Derek Chauvin's knee.
Which was exactly his point. It's what he was trying to bring attention to.
But the fact that Derek Chauvin happened long after Colin started his protests proves your point, I suppose. Nothing of significance has changed since he began.
Some people find that disturbing. And others are like, meh, so what? I'm not black. Why should I care? It doesn't affect ME.
Meanwhile, to everyone in this thread who is upset by this, show us on this doll where the NBA kneeling in solidarity hurt you.

Poor babies.
What is disturbing is that there are so many uneducated, dishonest people who think that 15 unarmed blacks killed by police last year is significant. Most of those were assaulting the cop.
And the fact that over 30 blacks die at the hands of other blacks in Chicago, in one month, isn't a big deal.
Jim Crow is still alive in the party that created it. The tactics have changed.

White people were out peacefully protesting all across the country and nearly everyone in this forum has stated police reform is needed. I don't know why you would mention a small percentage of people who aren't black being dismissive of the issue - particularly since we know this also happens to white people.
Bringing attention to something doesn't change it. Nothing as changed since Colin K. first took a knee and you tell all of us what has changed since George Floyd died.
