We are discussing racism, so it must be effective.

People who are talking about it are in general normal non racist decent people.
Unfortunately I don't think that taking the knee will make a racist see that what they are is deplorable
To think that it will is nieve

If Chauvins defence could have somehow got him off with some kind of miraculous technicality, they would have, and wouldn’t have blinked an eye at letting a guilty man walk.
As i said, everyone is entitled to a defence, but you’ve got to have some teal thick skin to try to defend the indefensible, in a court of law.

But without a defence lawyer we are assuming everyone is guilty
So what's the point in going to court
Should we become a lynchmob society?

True - you can never reason with racists. However, I hope the discussions are enabling the non-racist people to see the ways that racism can occur and help them in our fight
