Jonathan Isaac was recently asked "do you think black lives matter?"
Why is this even necessary to ask a man of colour? Just to make sure? ...or...

Isaac is an ordained minister. Perhaps his explanation wasn't very clear but most Christians understood it.

We're talking about believing in systemic racism, not your favourite pack of bubble gum.

Are we just going to make stupid assumptions now?
Pop who has spoken against racism and social justice many times, didn't kneel for the national anthem either. Does that mean he doesn't believe in ending racism?

No, but there is a difference between what Pop has said and done and what Jonathan Isaac has said (ie: nothing other than referring to the Bible for some inane reason).
One of those two has come out with a strong statement and the other is listening to his magical space daddy.
"I believe that Black Lives Matter. A lot went into my decision, and part of it is, I thought that kneeling or wearing the Black Lives Matter t-shirt doesn't go hand-in-hand with supporting Black lives. So I felt like, just me personally, what is that I believe is taking on a stance that, I do believe that Black lives matter, but I just felt like it was a decision that I had to make, and I didn't feel like putting that shirt on and kneeling went hand in hand with supporting Black lives.
