I've been thinking the same lately, that it's time to stop doing this. I agree that it's like the clapping for the NHS and it has run its course. We all want an end to racism, but taking the knee has lost its impact IMHO.
@Maxtremist why not add a poll and see what people think?

Appreciate the sentiment behind this and happy people are sharing their opinion. But to just be blunt about it I'd rather not make a poll for this issue. I don't wanna try and speak for other Black men but I personally don't wanna put a poll up where one option would basically be me saying 'As a Black man, I'm tired of seeing this performative display of solidarity' whilst the other option is essentially 'no no, this performance is helping people remember racism is still happening'
