But place your right hand over your heart… It is a moment that should be beyond any agenda… It is a time to show gratitude and humbleness… Kneel… But remember someone fought for your right to kneel without being jailed or murdered… Someone’s family gave up precious time with a loved one, for a moment or for forever… I lost an uncle for your right to kneel… I worried for 24/7 for 1,460 days over a brother for your right to kneel… So you kneel BUT you salute those who sacrificed…
Angry with our government? Angry with the police? That’s ok. I too struggle at times. But I see how truly fortunate I am to be living in a developed country with a police force that is not privatised and is ruled by the same laws that rule me… So I place my hand over my heart and give thanks to those who fought and are fighting for me… And for you
You may kneel… But I tell you that you should also place your right hand over your heart… As for me and my loves, we will stand… With hand over heart giving thanks… Even when the chaos and corruption of others frustrates and baffles, we will stand because we fortunately can ❤
