But it all began as a reaction to the many police murders of African-Americans in the United States openly seen as racist crimes and of course especially the highly protested ugly murder of George Floyd.
Would that the 'Taking the Knee' or 'Taking a Knee' protests could be broadened in intention to include the infamously greater racist homicide in other peoples countries both ongoing and in the past by the military of USA and its allies.
Racist Genocide
The homicide in genocidal proportions by the US military long ongoing in Middle Eastern and African counties, and in the past in so many nations in Asia and Latin America, tend not to be thought of as racist, but neither were the police murders of African Americans considered racist until it became so prevalent and unbearable as to provoke street protests and eventually the 'Taking the Knee' phenomenon.
Racism is indicated by the 20 years of a US led coalition that included every single Caucasian nation in the world [5] bringing death to hundreds of thousands of Afghani men, women and children in Afghanistan (even though the 9/11 suicide attackers were from Saudi Arabia and Osama bin Laden had been welcomed into Afghanistan by the CIA).
A considerable number of American soldiers were made to feel 'gung-ho' about killing Iraqis in Iraq as 'pay back' for the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center (which no Iraqi took par). Since 9/11, the US regime change wars in Somalia, Libya, Syria and Yemen have led to equating killing any or all Arabs with 9/11 revenge in the back of the minds of more than a few US soldiers
Can anyone forget US soldiers calling Koreans, Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians fighting US invasions of their countries 'gooks.' This aged author growing up in racist White Anglo-Saxon dominated America, remembers well regularly hearing insults like 'n-word,' 'kike,' 'wap,' 'spick,' 'pollock,' so why wouldn't anyone knowledgeable about the USA expect that America's wars within Asian, African and Latin American non-white-skinned populations to be racist just as even the treatment of Native Americans at home was racist.
The element of racism is and has been strong not only within the United States of America, but even more so in America's continuing undeclared wars in countries of the Third World. These bombings, invasions (and sanctions) have taken the lives of many millions of innocent men, women and children. Just consider! Millions of adorable children of different hues of skin color killed in their own beloved countries, as often as not in or near their very own homes. In racist US regime change wars!
