Regardless of the overall political stance of the people who came up with the take the knee, the specific campaign is necessary. The Hungarian “fans” this week and the English “fans” reactions to the Euros show how necessary it is. If Nigel Farage had started it, it would still be necessary and good campaign.
It has got the racists out of their shells and coming up with their “I’m not a racist, but…” style crap. Which might just help the campaign work, as people get a good chance to see the ignorance behind the racism.
If you want the take the knee campaign to stop, stop hating people because of their nationality or skin tone. Because if we can rid ourselves of racism, the campaign would no longer be necessary.
