I find it interesting that the BLM movement is associated with head-shaving as a sign of solidarity. It can be seen under #goBaldForBLM

I am seeing an incredible amount of ritualistic actions being associated with this movement.
Head shaving, for example, is a way of symbolically removing ones power and individuality. It is used in the military and was famously done as an act of dominance to Samson in the bible. First nations peoples believed the hair was the seat of ones unique connection to spirit. Image
Another occult movement with a deep connection to submission to a master is Kneeling. This is also seen in the BLM movement.

Is using ritualistic submission actions truly useful when addressing racial issues? Does one group need to submit to another? Isn't that how we got here? Image
