I want to preface this by saying I'm not looking for an argument. I saw a guy on twitter talking about white women kneeling during the national anthem as a way of protesting rape culture. He is a black man and was saying they didn't stand in solidarity at protesting the murder of black people and were highjacking this movement. He also said that white women doing this is an act of white supremacy done in the name of feminism.
I haven't heard anything about this. I tried finding some news, but nothing came up. I figured someone from here might know. I'm leaning toward this guy having some personal opinions and is just letting them be known by saying it all this way.

Im surprised the words "cultural appropriation" werent used. |

Im surprised the words "cultural appropriation" werent used. I don't follow the person, but someone I follow liked their post. I didn't know this was a thing now. I haven't been keeping up with the news much. Still haven't found anything about people doing this. The only thing I found was a women's soccer team kneeling a few weeks ago. I don't know why they were. That's the only thing I could think he was talking about, but I'd assume the whole team wasn't white to begin with. It is strange to me if women are doing this anyway. It seems like there would be a better way to make a difference regarding all that. I'm thinking, with that kind of topic, why would they posture themselves that way? It seems dumb to me. |

Never knew women had started kneeling to protest our "rape culture". That's a new one to me. Next thing you know some group will start kneeling to protest speed traps, high taxes, prescription drug costs, the sugar tax in some progressive cities, the fact that the produce quality at their local grocer has fallen, etc.
We're in an age where some new group is aggrieved everyday. |

I'm just going to come out and say this, that i don't think like a thread like this is really appropriate, since it always seems to end up becoming very conflicted.
I'm going to leave the thread up for now, but if it gets out of hand, I'll take action.

I was trying to find news about it and couldn't. |

I'm going to leave the thread up for now, but if it gets out of hand, I'll take action. The discourse so far has been very civil. It was a simple observation by the OP on someone who declared that their "movement" was being hijacked. This is tame compared to many previous conversations in this forum, and, like you, I expect it to remain so. |

I'm not going to delete the thread, I just ask it remain civil, censorship is not what I'm about.
I'm just reminded of the mess the politics thread became, and so far yes, the comments have been civil, but how long that will last is anyone's guess

Is this the conversation the Bishop started?
Social media is a powerful tool in nations that have access to it. He most certainly has mastered it.
To the event he refers to? I have no idea Lady T.

Is this the conversation the Bishop started? Not sure to the event he is refering to. Social media is a powerful tool in nations that have access to it. He most certainly has mastered it. To the event he refers to? No idea Lady T. Yes. I was about to say that it seems to be a church leader talking about it which makes it even worse if it's just his opinion and not even going on. I suspect he is talking in general at women kneeling after all the stuff that has come out with various men over the last year. |

I tried to add this onto the last post, but was having trouble.
It sounds to me like he thinks this is the reason why any woman would be kneeling. Which also sounds pretty bad when he is calling them white. To be fair though, all the images I've seen of women kneeling have been white women.

Currently there is no media reference to the event he refers to. The search results on Google are either his Twitter post refering to the event or older posts about the NFL etc on the past issues. He seems quite passionate about the issue. However the where and when to the event he refers to is not present. As a man of the cloth, I would hope that he wouldn't lead astray his readers. I add I did not scroll through the entirety of the responses to his article, where he also participates. |
