I was always moved by the NFL players kneeling, because men who had attained great success within the system were saying that had not been bought off, that they remembered those underserved & disserved. What’s happened to us that we’re so afraid of healthy disagreement & protest?

White nationalism is the dominating political narrative right now. It was used in this case as a front for protecting/preserving profits (which in of itself is vile).

Every organization/employer is also democratically entitled to set rules that reflect its values.

A sickness deeper than I ever knew is what happened. We were infected by it when we believed that simply stating “All Men are endowed by their creator...”meant that we would honor our basic sameness. Then we spent centuries going against that ideal.Jeremiah Wright was right

I kneel before God. If it's good enough for God then it is good enough for the National Anthem.
