As the protests are intensifying with celebrities and top most politicians joining in, many of whom are also seen making a knee along with the Black Lives Matter demonstrators.
But we know that we must only bow before our God and nothing else, as the Bible tells us that we must not bow before any idols- our idols can be anything, a false god, a man, a cause, a political party, etc.,
Exodus 23:24 (NIV) Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces.
