It Takes A Brave Man

"San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Coonrod refused to kneel in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement ahead of the team’s season opener Friday, saying he would feel “like a hypocrite” because of his Christian faith and personal beliefs.

“I don’t think I’m better than anybody. I’m just a Christian,” he told reporters. “I believe I can’t kneel before anything but God, Jesus Christ. I chose not to kneel. I feel if I did kneel I’d be a hypocrite. I don’t want to be a hypocrite.”

He added that he “just can’t get on board with a couple things I’ve read about Black Lives Matter. How they lean towards Marxism and … they said some negative things about the nuclear family.”

Every player and staff member from the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers joined together to kneel and hold a black ribbon for the moment honoring Black Lives Matter, as did the New York Yankees and Washington Nationals in their game earlier on Friday. Coonrod was the only player or staff member of the four teams who stood during the moment."

Giants' Sam Coonrod had every right to stand, but his reason fell short

Sam Coonrod stepped into the sightlines of America on Thursday night, when he alone stood during an intended unified peaceful protest. A light followed him around Friday, and might stay with him for a while. All the Giants pitcher did was exercise the right that all Americans have, at least...

I had never heard of this pitcher......but I heard of Kanye West, and look at the treatment he got when he looked at reality and came out for Trump:



A typical piece in ESPN’s online magazine The Undefeated reported West’s White House visit this way: “Last week, we didn’t get the Kanye West who spoke up for us. We got something unfamiliar, terrifying and ignorant. We got a West with ‘Make America Great Again’ hats. . . . He’s been calling Trump a genius. . . . We got an unending vomit-like array of misinformation. But maybe that’s the Kanye West we should have seen coming for a long time.”

When it all falls down: The twisted nightmare of Kanye West and Trump

Kanye is allowing himself to be party to endangering the most vulnerable members of society.

theundefeated.com

.



CNN’s Trump-hating black anchor Don Lemon chimed in with this: “What I saw was a minstrel show today. Him in front of all these white people embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African Americans because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this, cringing. I couldn’t even watch it. I had to turn the television off because it was so hard to watch. Him sitting there, being used by the president of the United States.” Don Lemon Explodes: Kanye West Put On A "Minstrel Show" For Trump, His Mother Is Rolling In Her Grave



Pretty clear warning about what will happen if you step out of line.

Yup…..it’s gonna take a really brave black voter to stand up for Trump.

A peek into what brain-dead simpletons have been manipulated into bending the knee and the neck to support:

"The Agenda of Black Lives Matter Is Far Different From the Slogan

“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear-family-structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.”

A partner organization, the Movement for Black Lives, or M4BL, calls for abolishing all police and all prisons. It also calls for a “progressive restructuring of tax codes at the local, state and federal levels to ensure a radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth.”

Another M4BL demand is “the retroactive decriminalization, immediate release and record expungement of all drug-related offenses and prostitution and reparations for the devastating impact of the ‘war on drugs’ and criminalization of prostitution.”

The Agenda of Black Lives Matter Is Far Different From the Slogan

Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to secure the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans. They add the BLM hashtag to their social-media profiles, carry BLM signs at protests, and make financial...

"Power Forward: While Everyone Else Around Him Kneels, the NBA's Jonathan Isaac Stands

Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic stood, while everyone else took a knee. He also did not wear a Black Lives Matter shirt.

After the game, Isaac faced a hostile press populated by reporters who played gotcha games with him. Note the wording of the first question to Isaac.


Reporter to Isaac: “So you didn’t kneel during the anthem, but you also didn’t wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Uh, do you believe that black lives matter?”

Isaac, who is black, handled the ridiculously biased question gracefully.

“Absolutely. I believe that black lives matter. A lot went into my decision,” Isaac responded. “And part of is, my first thought, is that kneeling while wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt don’t go hand in hand with supporting black lives.” Rejecting the easy virtue signal of wearing a shirt and taking a knee, which would keep reporters from asking him biased questions, Isaac noted that he finds true support from a higher source.

“My life has been supported through the Gospel, Jesus Christ” Isaac said, “and that everyone is made in the image of God and that we all fall short of God’s glory and that each and every one of us, each and every day do things that we shouldn’t do.
...we can get past skin color, we can get past all the things in our world that are messed up, jacked up. I think we need to look around. Racism isn’t the only thing that plagues our society, that plagues our nation, that plagues our world.”

What an inspiring story!

He is, indeed, courageous. (I am a life-long coward.)

I would not be surprised, however, if he is coerced into eventually kneeling, especially if the Dems win in 94 more days. The pressure to follow the party line may be too powerful to resist.

We are becoming like China, Russia, and Cuba.
