I have no idea what your position is on taking the knee or BLM.

It's not like I go around thinking "gosh that poster's defence of racism and bigotry is interesting, I'll remember that". For me it's all just generic shrieking about Marxism, politics having no place in sport, people getting angry and personal, claiming that taking the knee is subjugation, that they understand racism at a deeper level, that George Floyd committed crimes yadda yadda yadda.

Anyway, it's good that we can now both look at Andrew Laurence and laugh. There is some common ground... :)

I prefer to listen to Black people speaking for themselves and in America i have seen quite a few video's of people from all walks of life pushing back against the divisive agenda of critical race theory and i would include BLM in that category.

Great clip Leeds1000... a classic example of someone who made good "choices"... And I agree there is no place for CRT in the classroom...

I wonder what the reaction would have been if a white man had made those quotes?

Thomas Sowell ( born June 30, 1930) is an American economist, social theorist, and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.
Highly recomended reading....
