is it by knelling?

Unfortunately it’s not by kneeling
The west has a reputation for virtue signaling; but they do otherwise behind the scenes

That kneeling shit is just a waste of time. It has no significant effect on tackling racism.

Bad things don't die easily. Infact racism will never end no matter how they tackle it.

That's why Wilfred Zaha stopped taking the knee in the premier league. While he was taking it, he was still facing racism and still saw people face it too, so he was like, 'what's the point'?

Although, Between USA and UK I don't know who are the most racial people.

truth be told racism cant end .only pple who can end it .is we africans .until africa beta nd developed.for instance qatar ,u.a.e has help reduce d negative sterotype bin ladin nd terrior group cause arabs .now imaging nigeria be like canada while equatoral guinea b like qatar d effective it will have on racism is huge because d news media cant promote us as pple dt live on trees .na because africa still have wicked nd cprrupted leaders dt make us poor dt why racism still dey

All their stupid hypocrisy. Blacks were so foolish to accept that stupid black lives matter thing. Do you know what Black lives matter truly means. Like you are going into extinction and that you are an endangered species. Look at the outrage that greeted Kenye West when he wore White lives matters. It's because the people behind the black lives matter understand that it was an insult against the black race and many foolishly accepted such a curse. What is england simpling doing is a protest against not accepting LGBT calling it fight for human life. What vexed me was even calling it 'One Love' armband.

Go and do your homework. Black lives matter was created by blacks for blacks. They created it because of police brutality towards black Americans. That's why they were upset about Kanye's ignorance.

Just a feedback, OP: Did you notice how your readers couldn't really connect with the article? One said "who cares" probably cause they have no idea what the whole thing is about, and the other was asking what the gesture means. That's exactly how 'disconnected' your write-up is. You were inclined to score points for your personal opinion so much so that you ended up forgetting the primary goal which is informing. You left out important explanations and started arguing right away. Yet even your argument is watery. I'm sure that only those who knew the 'story' before now would read your article and understand it at once.

When I say 'you', I mean whoever wrote this stuff for that unsecured blog.

You're very correct! I am actually one of those you're talking about. I didn't Even understand what message the op was trying to pass until I read other peoples comment

In fact, after looking at the pix. I couldn't understand what the US team did.

Blacks are the only problem of blacks. This BLM matter proved it.

Lol.

Your vexation is funny. It is the Rolex nowadays.

This world cup has been overshadowed by religious and needles gender issues. Offended hosts who agreed to host, but now everything is an insult and offense to them; offended participants who came to champion rainbow rights in order to get offended and not really watch the matches, forgetting where they went to watch it.

All this policing only results in more divisions.

Since BLM it became impossible. Now everything is permissible. If black people can, why not any other movement? Very soon Zionists will want recognition on the pitch.

The yorubas will say greeting is not attitude.
This same country fighting racism is openly practicing racism, when england won 6 2 skysports used grealish's face as the poster boy despite the fact that Saka scored 2 and other players that scored were black then when they played draw guess whose picture was used as poster boy, Saka.
The funny thing is someone predicted England will use a black man once the 3 lions didn't get the desired result

As you can see in the comment you quoted, my comment makes it clear I wasn't referring to whoever you are but the person that wrote the article for the blog. So what exactly are you firing back at? Take it up with who? You brought it here on Nairaland, so I made my comment on Nairaland. If I had gone to thier side to read it, I would have made my comment there. The only reason why you're getting emotional about my comment is because you brought the article here, so you feel responsible in a way. Maybe you could look for a better blog next time.

Oh I see! Your grouse is against right leaning articles that go against your woke liberal ideology - except for the fact that you are being disingenuous. Let's dissect your said comment and see what you are not admitting:

Lol... Nairaland people. So you really prefer to type all this instead of just taking the feedback in good fate? And you think I'd sit down and be reading another gibberish? Dude, the article you shared was poorly written; so poorly that people could hardly understand it. The number of people that liked or shared the comment I made only goes to show that what I said was more factual than opinionated. I really don't know why you're getting so emotional over my comment. But then again, it's Nairaland.

Enjoy yourself, buddy! Ciao !
