Taking the knee.

Surely we have got the message. Am I alone in thinking it’s time to stop? If not, when?
I've heard the phrase used by Royal Marines to refer to taking a rest on one knee while yomping with a full pack. Obviously you don't have time to remove the pack and if you lie or sit it's difficult to get back up again quickly in an emergency.
On one side you have people \ groups who are are taking the BLM name and using it for their own gains \ agenda that are probably outside what most people consider ummm... palatable. I recall "BLM" phoning up and saying the police should be defunded on some radio shows for example.
That's interesting because I'd aasumed it was an American phrase.blue architect wrote:I've heard the phrase used by Royal Marines to refer to taking a rest on one knee while yomping with a full pack.

I watched the end of an MSL cup match between NYC and Portland. Both coaches were wearing a "Black Lives Matter" top so it appears the movement is growing and has in part been adopted by football as a whole. If that is the case I wonder how teams in Serbia and Montenegro etc will react.New Forester wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 7:25 pm I’m not questioning the taking of the knee but it’s duration. Perhaps now the Cup Final is over, that’s it. But will it go on to the Champions League? And the new season?
A MINIMUM VOTING AGE OF 16 YEARS AND A MINIMUM AGE OF 25 TO HOLD A PUBLIC OFFICE.Why should illegal aliens be allowed to vote? What other country allows this?
THE ABOLITION OF THE LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES OF THE US GOVERNMENT.Allows for the indoctrinated school kids to be forced into voting their way and in many schools, civics isn't taught till after this age
THE CREATION OF A NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR A DURATION OF 3 YEARS. ITS PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE TO FORM A NEW CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.The Constitution was set up to ensure checks and balances and it works - Losing it would create a Dictatorship and the loss of the Constitutional Republic - ala Russia, China, and most South America countries for example
A FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE OF $20 PER HOUR.Unreasonable for many professions that need unique skills
IMMEDIATE CREATION OF LABOR UNIONS FOR ALL MAJOR INDUSTRIES.Destruction of small businesses who are struggling at $12 per hour - the costs would go to the sales price which would increase the overall cost of living exponentially to make $20 an hour not viable
LABOR UNIONS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES ARE TO BE GIVEN EQUAL POWER AS THAT OF INDUSTRY EXECUTIVES OR PUBLIC SERVANTS.Oh, I mentioned this earlier
THE RAPID AND COMPLETE NATIONALIZATION OF ALL THE TRANSPORT INDUSTRIES.Look back at Hoffa and other Union leaders who were given too much power to see what the future holds
FOR THE POLICE INJUSTICE: WE DEMAND:Agism as there is no money to sustain Social Security for the millions this would add - what next, Logan's Run style ending of lives? (tongue in cheek)
A NATIONAL POLICY INTENDED TO PROMOTE AND FURTHER BLACK AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR CULTURES AND IDENTITIES IN THE WORLD.End of second Amendment which was set up to ensure government could be defended against by citizen militia
FOR THE ECONOMIC INJUSTICE: WE DEMAND:What happened to qualifications to earn a job?
THE SEIZURE OF ALL THE POSSESSIONS OF THE RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS AND THE ABOLITION OF ALL THE RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO OPPRESS, ENSLAVE, AND COLONIZE PEOPLE OF COLOR.Why should people who weren't involved in this, pay for those who are not effected by the past slave trade - giving to black people because they want it
THE REVISION OF ALL MILITARY CONTRACTS AND THE SEIZURE OF 85 PERCENT OF THE PROFITS TO BE REDISTRIBUTED TO THE ENSLAVED DESCENDANTS AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.End of First Amendment and the articles of Indepenance
THE MANIFESTO OF OUR STRUGGLEReduce the military to nothing so the country cannot defend itself
Nothing about defending Black People against Black gangs.....Inciting violence against law abiding citizens
