What's this?

The MainStream thinks every body has a right to an opinion

He doesn't have to like them taking a knee and he doesn't have to take one. He is a brave white man making statements that many white men like, but others disagree with.

Of course, few in the MainStream have been black for even a day and felt the fear for whether their children will be beaten or shot be police without provocation. It's easier for us whites in the MainStream to ignore and hope it goes away. Probably should value the right to those who feel oppressed to state their opinion in America as well as those who say they cannot contemplate or understand that feeling.
