'Taking the knee' seems to be from Game of Thrones - UK foreign minister

[scubascuba3]

The blonde bird on Game of Thrones was always banging on about taking the knee, Raab is probably right, that's where it came from. In the UK it's mostly white lefty unemployed protesting

Raab later tried to clarify his remarks, saying he had “full respect” for the Black Lives Matter movement.

In real speak got some bad feed back from the usual mob and lost his bottle. Are there no politicians with a spine anymore?

Not a question of spine imo,  in the current climate, unless its on the fringe, Farage might get away with it but hes been tagged with being a racist for so long 99% have already made thier minds up about him... mainstream party  ? nope i dont think so. Not until the Mary whitehouse attitude has blown itself out anyways.

Unfortunately the Social media busybody mob combined with the Rabid MSM means, anyone in the public space saying anything different to the current popular trend gets shredded and attacked. We are definitely living in times of moral hysteria of perceived heresy and being outcast from a society for

 having different thoughts or opinion. Lets hope they dont start burnings and killings as people were accused of being  witches before.. sadly we are getting closer to this kind of thing every year. Humanity is definitely regressing and its doing so wayyy too fast for my liking of late.

Along with the Jemima syrup. Imagine the uproar if they replace the images with white folk.

That is because we are not millenials.

You will neve see me taking the knee.

i would need help to get back up????

[Bender Rodriguez]

why do they not act against the still active KINGDOMS that enslaved the people and profited from them ?

 

GREAT BRITAIN (enslaved half the world) , FRANCE (Africa, Asia, but no more kings since 1789), The Netherlands (Asia), BELGIUM (Congo), Portugal (enslaved Brazil), Spain (most S-America & Tropical Island), etc...

Just shows how great we used to be ,conquered half the world and we are only a tiny Island ,and as you see they loved and missed us so much when we left ,they all want to follow us back here.

The same vocal and often violent lefty rent-a-crowd turns out for all matter of inane and baseless protests.   Twenty years back these folk were considered crazies, but now have infiltrated various levels of government and have some traction.   They never do any heavy lifting or anything that may actually accomplish any goal.   Just faux virtue signalling so in their minds they have the high moral ground, and for some that provides justification to assault and kill others of different opinions (generally being the vast silent majority who have to actually go to work and other such real life inconveniences).  The actual goal seems to be only to sew social discord.

 

As for taking a knee, isn't that the usual position when praying to the porcelain God after your 15th pint has rejected you?

“It feels to me like a symbol of subjugation and subordination rather than one of liberation and emancipation. Raab is just another completely out of touch empty white suit. There is a huge difference between taking the knee as a gesture of subjugation, that his nation practiced for many centuries, and taking the knee as a gesture of solidarity. He would not know anything about that. 

 

I know dozens of white men who are not even courageous enough to admit that problems with race exist, and solutions need to be found. I know alot of white people who cannot handle any sort of criticism of their race, and do not even want to engage in a dialogue about it. The white race is not in any way superior to others, has created an infinite number of problems around the world for centuries now, and pretending otherwise is part of the problem, and has been for ages.

 

This is a brave new world, and a world with alot of color. Personally, I love all of the color this world has. Based on the majority of the replies on this thread, I am one of the few, who feel that way.

From "The game of Thrones"

What a nonsense, it goes back to at least the  Roman days & possibly well before

[wasabi]

I will not be taking a knee for anyone ever. But if anyone feels the need to kneel before me, be my guest.

I agree.  I was mortified when the virtue signaling high school teacher we have for a Prime Minister in Canada did the knee thing for the full mandated time.

And I know many coloured that are lazy and use it as an excuse for all of their failures, the coloured that I know who are successful usually agree with me

I've generally found white folk less likely to participate in low level criminal activity than blacks.

I've also found Asian folk less likely to participate in low level criminal activity than whites.

 

Living in Asia has given me the opportunity to see how good life without all the low-level crime can be.

Very little petty theft, vandalism, graffiti, break-ins and almost no risk of mugging really improves ones life. 

 

Nobody wants to live in a black neighbourhood, not even black people.

And I know many white men who are lazy and criminal. And many use their sense of entitlement as an excuse for their abhorrent behavior.

Bang on. Big business and unscrupulous politicians are cynically using Black Lives Matter for their own nefarious ends.

 

The protesters who march under the BLM banner are what the Kremlin used to call "useful idiots", duped into supporting a self-destructive cause.

 

Black Lives Matter is not primarily about promoting black rights, but bent on destabilising and ultimately destroying capitalism and Western society - by the use of violence, if necessary.

 

Which begs the obvious question as to why have the enthusiastic support of major corporations and covert funding via foundations run by billionaires, including socialist/globalist George Soros.

 

Could there possibly be a hidden agenda at play here?

Point taken. But does that on any level negate the issues the US is dealing with at this time? When you disenfranchise a race for three centuries there are bound to be consequences, wouldn't you admit?

If you go to Africa it's much the same.

I prefer to live in a country without white people or black people.

 

Look at Thailand today, large scale unemployment and widespread economic problems, but I can still leave my shopping (and helmet) hanging from my M/C when I go into the next shop, and it'll be there when I get back.

They started it with the Robinson's Golliwog, Darkie Toothpaste, the Black & White Minstrels, and the others that the looney left's purge was allowed to get away with. Illogical examples of something that those of the feathery ice crystal persuasion were offended by. Some of the most recent being the censorship of Little Britain and Bo Selecta comedy.

 

When will it all end? Those frivolous girls who managed a second class Meeja Studies degree are now the wimmin in charge of our advertising and broadcasting. They are always on the lookout for something that might cause faux offence, or could further their own leftist agenda. Have you noticed the ethnic and sexual imbalance of the TV advertisements recently? Not at all representative of the UK population.

taking a knee is only the beginning 

 

the white far left won't be happy until they have revenge for all the suffering 

[Foghorn]

Remember the tv series  love thy neighbor , the black guy and white guy ,always at each other ,the white guy always lost , was funny , now can’t even laugh at something with a black guy in even though he always came of best.   Who was so offended ?
