KNEEL OR STAND?



TAKING A KNEE

To those that kneel, I would like to pose a question to you. Why are you kneeling for some social injustice you feel has been put upon the masses? When you can take a stand for those that sacrificed for you to be where you are today.

Why not with all your millions help those people in your areas you feel are being ill served? Why are you not working with those that you say are doing the said "injustice" to those masses? 

Those that yell the loudest generally do not want to fix anything, just make noise. Hardly, ever about wanting to make a real difference but to get the masses whether for or against in an uproar. Just bring attention. 

Why don't you instead of taking a knee, take a stand for those that sacrificed for you? Take a stand for that single mother or father that may have worked more than one job and not eaten or bought new clothes in order to help you be that one. Or that grandparent that sacrificed their time and love for you to be that one. That police officer that showed you kindness and helped you along the way or that teacher that stayed late to give you the guidance you needed. What about the preacher that pounded love and tolerance and forgiveness to you.  All these and more have sacrificed time and energy into giving unto you a path that made you who you are today.  

It will be best served to stand for those that gave you soo much instead of kneeling for some cause that you could change or help change with some tolerance and time. I know many will say, we have to make a statement for social justice, right? The Flag and our Country has nothing to do with "social justice" it's a made up term for those trying to change our lives. Yes, there is injustice but it's not social, it's on both sides black and white, but this is not what I am talking about...  it's taking a knee to disrespect (whatever/whoever), I am trying to ask why not take a proud stand for those that are looking down or in that stand or at home watching you in whatever you do and show them the respect on the sacrifice they made for you.  

Just a thought...

Thanks
