Feb 16,2020 5:58 am

Dominic Raab says he has "full respect" for The Black Lives Matter activists after he was criticized for comments such as "below the knee".

The Secretary of state for The Foreign office said the gesture "seems to be taken" from the TV drama "Game of Thrones".

He added that he would just take the knee for Two People , "The Queen and the wife, when I asked you to Marry Me ".

Labour's shadow justice Minister, David Lammy , said his comments were "offensive" and "deeply embarrassing".

Below the knee is A Sign of support for The Black Lives Matter movement.

Speaking of Julia Hartley-Brewer to talk radio, Mr Raab said he understood the "feeling of frustration and restlessness, the one that drives The Black Lives Matter movement."

However, He Said the knee "feels to me like a symbol of the subjugation, subordination, rather than a liberation and emancipation, but I don't understand people that feel differently, so it is a matter of personal Choice . "

"Another minister, of the muses in the public without any Work - how ignorant. "

Mr Raab, later tried to clarify his remarks, tweeted: "To be clear: I have full respect for The Black Lives Matter movement, and the problems drift away.

"If people want to, take a knee, this is your Choice and I respect it. We all need to come together to combat any form of discrimination and social Injustice . "
