We all should take a knee against any form of discrimination.
If only more people had been smart enough (less prejudiced?) to concentrate on the REAL issue for the kneeling, instead of seeing it as an opportunity to deflect and attack another black person who was speaking out against injustice...we might not be where we are right now.
