If the protest itself is unclear, how can steps be taken to resolve the issues? Where is the champion of this protest and what is he/she saying? Is it police brutality? Is it inequality in the US, where blacks are oppressed? Is it inequality in general? Or is it a tactic to draw attention to oneself with no real end goal?
Without a voice to give a message to the protest, the argument will continue to be about taking a knee during the anthem, and nothing will be done about moving an agenda forward.
