I had a conversation with my parents at dinner about the kneeling at football games. They hadn’t read my facebook post, but I don’t think it would have added much. There’s just enough racism in them that nothing I really say is going to completely get through. Mom’s worked at a number of jails, so, as she put it “I’ve seen those people, you haven’t.” When you bring up the videos of the shit cops do, she says “but you’re not seeing all of the video,” even if I bring up those that show the police planting evidence. Like I said, racism. And this is from my mom who rants about injustices women deal with.
