I'd say you fundamentally misunderstand what taking the knee means. No one is taking a knee to the ORGANISATION Black Lives Matter. They are taking the knee to signify their support for the CONCEPT that Black Lives Matter. I only have one issue with taking the knee and that is simply the sense that we are appropriating something from a culture (American) I personally think is beneath us. I don't know what our own version would look like but I'd prefer it if we had one.
