Last month I had several talks with a former boss of mine and was really hopeful that progress was being made. She’s always been very conservative and had backed Trump while acknowledging “flaws”. Last month she’d finally started to understand BLM and white privilege, and had even posted a few things in support of BLM after being “all lives matter” for years. Then last week when baseball started she completely flipped back, mad at players for kneeling during the anthem. She’d previously acknowledged being wrong about Kaepernick, but last week when she saw people in MLB kneeling she just lost it and reverted back. Like she got reprogrammed.
