"As someone who has been involved in a fair number of protests concerning a fair number of issues, my experience has been that people often don't understand what protests are about. Its a chance to open a dialogue.
That's all I said, and you piled all your baggage onto it."
This is what you said ^^^^
Me classifying being murdered by rogue police who then get away with it as BAGGAGE is PAST irrational. It's ignorant, especially given the fact that many people who are non-minority KNOW what taking a knee is and they STILL don't get it and don't want to get it due to them being RACIST. I bet if whites were being murdered by black rogue police like that, they'd be more than up in arms. But you go on ahead and continue opening up dialogue with those kind of folks until you're blue in the face, while blacks/minorities continue to be murdered like big game animals at an alarming rate, with the rogue murdering police doing the murdering getting away with it. SMDH.
So sorry to know that to YOU murder is merely "baggage," and no big deal ....
Must be nice to be able to avoid being murdered by rogue police just because you're black.

I expect nothing else from the PGIC. He is a less than slime. At least it has its uses.
