The feet washing ceremoney was supposed to echo the Biblical story of how Jesus washed his disciples feet.

RT reports: The ritual, which was organized by pastors Faith and Soboma Wokoma in Cary, North Carolina, was part of a prayer walk for black Minnesota man George Floyd, who died in police custody in late May.
Protesters, which included Black Lives Matter activists, first observed eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence to mark the length of time that a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on Floyd’s neck before he died.
In addition to the silent commemoration, widely shared photos show what appears to be a group of white police officers and other white attendees kneeling before a number of priests, washing their feet in buckets.
The feet-washing ceremony apparently invoked the biblical story of Jesus cleansing the feet of his disciples to show humility and love. However, it also touched a nerve with some observers online.
Several commenters unloaded on the participants, accusing them of engaging in self-humiliation and falling victim to “mass psychosis and brain-washing.”
Others noted that washing someone’s feet is an inherent part of religious practice in the south, and is also something that the Catholic pontiff does from time to time.
Similar actions have taken place across the US in the recent past, on a par with a growing trend of “taking a knee” to show support for the anti-racism protests going on in American cities.

I get queasy just thinking about these two nitwits.
How many blacks are appalled at the level at which they are being patronized? This is beyond absurd. Yahoo today posted a pic of the democrats “taking a knee” in the Capitol. I viewed the comments which were 100% scornful of these idiots. I tried to post, got a network error. Refreshed the page and the article had been removed. This is the level of censorship we are currently experiencing.
that is disgusting. God is not pleased with this theater. dumassses
