Yes, but if you wait a day or two "an anonymous author with a writing style similar to mine" will have more-thought-out article about this on The Havok Journal.

So....somebody wears cornrows or dreadlocks and they are accused of "cultural appropriation".
Nancy and her minions wear Kente cloth and they are....? The pandering and hypocracy of these folks just never ends.
Not to mention...what's the deal with the kneeling? Americans do not kneel. They did not kneel to the Brits, the Nazis, or The Russians during the Cold War. American's kneel to no man, period. Kneeling is a form of submission, to what or to whom exactly, are these American leaders submitting to?
(for the record I consider NFL players "taking a knee" during the Anthem completely different)

I want to preemptively add this caveat- I cant stand Nancy Pelosi. She’s a terrible leader. I have zero love for the Democrats.
With that said-
the whole “kneeling” symbolism here is no different than kneeling during the national anthem. It’s all a protest against police brutality.
I don’t see the overall relation to “taking a knee” and our past interactions with foreign powers.
You know I enjoy your point of view, but I’m not seeing the major issue here. Other than the fact it’s been done by a bunch of politicians who are obviously pandering.
ETA- I also agree about the cloths. That’s lame, and adds to the pandering nature of the photo op.

Maybe I went over the top on the 'kneeling to other nations' bit, but I think it takes away from the kneeling that athletes do during The Anthem. Their 'taking a knee' is personal to them. What the Dems did here was staged and essentially makes a mockery of the folks who are truely trying to make a statement.
In my humble opinion, as they say.

I think what Ooh-Rah was trying to point out is that this was all staged. I can Picture it now: Nancy puts the word out that everyone is to go find or buy a Kente cloth and we will meet at x-time. Make sure the photographer is on hand. Now lets make sure the cloth is hanging just right. All drop at the same time. Great picture, publish it.

Teargas is the only thing distinguishing kneeling in a kente you never wear from holding up a Bible you never read.

That kneeling against police brutality is a dumb stunt. We literally have one of the better policing apparatus's on the planet. What's sad is how black on black crime hurts these communities way more than some bad apple cops. Too bad attention whores like kapernik and the frauds in the BLM give cover for the worst elements of those communities.
This movement is a fraud. I hope the organizers of this BS pay a heavy toll for what they've done to our nation.

I bow before no man but the SON of GOD and GOD himself.
I think it is ironic that kneeling killed George Floyd and that's all these imbeciles want to do.

The Current SHITUATION in Seattle.
They're armed and they're patrolling. To protect the people of course. Literally no different from the gang or dirty cops forcing businesses to pay for protection

Pelosi and gang kneeling is the epitome of being out of touch. Maybe.. just maybe.. her time in office for the last 40 years could give her a little ownership of this so called system in the systemic racism part that they are all calling for?

Eastern WA would probably celebrate if Seattle and those idiots all burned.
They already did via the seizure of goods earlier in the riots.
It's like those idiots want to kick off a civil war. Arson, murder, rioting, looting, and the establishment of their own little leftist fiefdoms is getting old.

I think we travel in very different socioeconomic circles. Especially considering how the politics of that area have disenfranchised the rest of the state.
I grew up in eastern Washington. There’s some decent parts around, but you could donate it to northern Idaho and I don’t think it would be missed.
