Later it says,When former NBA center DeMarcus Cousins asked longtime Sacramento Kings announcer Grant Napear in the summer of 2020 what he thought of the Black Lives Matter movement, Napear responded on Twitter: “All Lives Matter: Every Single One!”
Napier was fired later that week.
As a Church member, I protest this firing. It is just wrong. If a person can't say all lives matter then does that mean my life doesn't matter because I'm not black? How about my wife and children's lives? Do they not matter? Don't give me that garbage about this time and movement being about blacks and not whites so we don't need to mention whites, asians, polynesians, or hispanics, etc. This is not about slavery or racism. If it were, then wouldn't they be protesting the Africans that sold them into slavery? Wouldn't they also be protesting the black slaveholders that owned other African-Americans? If it were about racism, wouldn't they be making common cause with other minorities? No, this is about division and hatred and Jesus didn't teach hatred, He taught love.Napear, in the complaint, alleges he was terminated “because he is a Caucasian man who published a phrase on social media that [Bonneville International] contends violated the company’s ad hoc [but unpublished] policy supporting Black Lives Matter.
That the Church (trust me--Bonneville International wouldn't have dared to do this without at least tacit GA approval) has been enforcing this communist philosophy by firing people only reinforces my determination to leave the CES. How can we sustain this worldly mess?
