I am so sick of the victim addiction in our society. I have no respect for anyone who panders and continues to play that card. The people who protested during the Civil Rights movement of the 60's with no protection, and actually experiencing beatings, fire hoses, dogs, death, etc. sacrificed everything that brought real change are real heroes. These contemporary cultural warriors like CK who protest and are protected who do not engage in real activities that bring any real change to anything and just use a victim narrative to manipulate and draw attention to themselves are pathetic. Every injustice needs to be dealt with, period. But everything that is called an injustice is not an injustice.
In my city in the last 2 weeks, 4 teenage black young men have been arrested for shooting and killing other black young men. A 16 and 17 year old last week on 2 different days, shot and killed other black men on their way to school and went to school like any other day after murdering people. Today, a young 18 year old black man was chased into a Chik-Fil-A and shot and killed in the Chik-fil-a by another young black man. The one who was shot, his grandmother was beaten to death in her home last week by another young black male. But Nike's going to pay CK millions because he's bitching and moaning about police brutality. Has there been unjustified police brutality? Yes. Is that the biggest epidemic in the communities CK is representing? Not by a long stretch. But because he's taking a knee, which brings no change, in a protected environment, he's a role model. Ridiculous!
