    Yes. I am. And it's equally valid anywhere else in the world.

    This thread ironically is a fantastic example of why the gesture needs to continue.

    Its not for me at all all the knee thing. Will solve nothing. On the other hand I'll still respect it but wouldn't take part. I never kneed to my own parents lol

    Under 8 seconds. I timed it.

    Won't someone think of the racists.

    8 seconds they'll never get back.

    You're totally missing the point. They're not kneeling 'to' anybody.

    I haven't got a problem with someone not kneeling if they respect the gesture. No one should be forced to do it but I think most right minded people would choose to do so.

    It's not submission in the slightest.

    A policeman in the US took to one knee for much longer than 5-10 seconds. It was such a submissive act, it killed George Floyd.

    If nothing else, anything that pisses off the racists is good by me

    imagine instead of introducing ******** antagonistic "gestures" which have no evidence of achieving anything, we actually did something constructive to eradicate the problems of society

    Not sure who that is aimed at but as many have said, not agreeing with continuing taking the knee is not Racist !
    Now taking the knee with the fist is Racist
