oh shit.
i just had
another thought.
when kaepernick
kneels
to express
distress at his
country's
injustices
against
minorities,
(and for christ's sake
if you believe
there is no injustice
then i don't know
what to say to you)
in a quiet,
legal,
non-violent
expression,
a demand
for unity,
equality,
he is booed.
made fun of.
called
a traitor.
entitled.
disrespectful.
unpatriotic.
everyone loses
their godforsaken
minds
because a black
man
with money
kneeled.
for fuck's sake, people
wake the
fuck up.
you know
what's disrespectful?
violence.
inciting violence.
you know
what's unpatriotic?
denigrating
entire groups
of human
beings.
entitled?
if equality is
special treatment
then i guess so.
i'm bout ready
to take the
goddamn knee
myself,
seeing the
rampant,
jovial
racism,
sexism,
classism.
the absolute
pride
people in
my country
are taking
in marginalizing,
dehumanizing,
belittling,
assaulting.
it's disgusting.
without a doubt
i will take
the goddamn
knee.
