I may be attacked, but i want to speak out.

I am still struck by the position of Max, Charles and Carlos that they will not kneel, because "everyone has the right to express their position in any convenient and appropriate way." Of course, i absolutely agree with this, but... I'm confused by Carlos's rhetoric and his "It's principles, culture"; i'm confused that Max says he's fighting, even though he never talked about it, except for having to wear a t-shirt "end racism"; Charles talked about BLM, about fighting racism, but why he thought it was "controversial" to get down on his knees?

We can see that it is really difficult for Lewis to run this campaign, because he doesn't see the support that he would like to get. He sees it in the face of Lando, Sebastian, Romain, Daniel.. (i'm talking about them, because they mostly talk about it and the importance of this campaign).

I really want to understand why they can't express their solidarity and show support for Lewis; show that they see and recognize a serious problem? You literally have a man in the paddock who faces racism from ignorant people every damn day.

Perhaps someone will correct me or object my thoughts. It will be interesting to read.

I will add: they may not be talking about this in social networks, or at least, i would like to think so..
