Senate and House Democrats donned Kente Cloth for their Police Reform announcement and moment of silence in memory of George Floyd. Users on Twitter respond:
Standing in front of a church and holding up a bible you never read for a photo op is no different than kneeling in Kente cloth you never wear for a photo op. Politicians (right or left) who use props as a shortcut to connect with human beings: Stop it. Your photo ops are gross. https://t.co/JXP9UYoen7

All this dancing, kneeling, and kente cloth says more about what those doing it actually think of Black people than anything. They think that all they have to do is cosplay and we’ll all forget countless murders in an instant.

hey guys. I promise you don’t have to wear kente cloth. I promise you don’t have to kneel. all we asked was for justice for unlawful criminal activities against black people. or, is that too much to ask for? https://t.co/dryYGDWdHg

I am not sure what’s funnier, those ridiculous politicians wearing kente cloth or Cory Booker smartly opting out of that absurd performance.
