Black lives matter Grand Prix

What does everyone think to six drivers not taking the knee ?

Really great question.

I've read their comments about why they didn't do that. But for me it does not make much sense. Of course they don't have to.... But still... It was weird.

They did everything right. #AllLivesMatter

agreed

I agree that all lives matter equally i just don't see the harm in total unity

It was refreshing to see these 6 not being guilt shamed into kneeling. These 6 have more supporters than the news media will ever tell you

I think it's telling that both Ferrari drivers for the 2021 season chose not to kneel. Both provided a solid rationale for their choice in their respective Twitter accounts. I, for one, like that they're focused in their responsibilities as drivers and not in a gesture that is bound to divide their fanbase. I believe LeClerc summed it up perfectly by saying:

“I believe that what matters are facts and behaviours in our daily life rather than formal gestures that could be seen as controversial in some countries. I will not take the knee but this does not mean at all that I am less committed than others in the fight against racism.”

I see the point and it is made well but surely total support would be stronger for example in the premiership .

Guilt shamed

Does this mean everyone should feel guilt and shame if they are racist ? i would hope so.

Harm is that you don't kneel for racism but all the bad things that have been done in name of blm which gives more fuel (literaly) to those protestors and criminals.
We should consider all lives matter but it is infact leftist who keeps this racial agenda up which leads into more confrontation than unity.

 

[OnitheCroc]

Agreed

I agree with everything you are saying I just think we need action now by all Governments

There are better ways of fighting for injustice then simply virtue signalling like in this case.
