Keke Palmer pleads with U.S. National Guardsmen to 'march with us' during protest

Keke Palmer is being praised all over the internet for the way she peacefully and diplomatically addressed members of the U.S. National Guard during a protest in Hollywood. In a viral video of the encounter, the actress can be seen urging them to march alongside protestors and show their support. “We have a president that’s trying to incite a race war. And the borders are closed! We can’t leave. You have people in here that need your help”. After some of the U.S. National Guard members told Keke that they agreed with what she was saying, she urged them to march with the protestors. “March beside us and show us that you’re here for us. Make history with us, please”. When one of the guardsmen explains that he can’t leave his post because he needs to protect the businesses in his area, he offers to march down the street as far as he can. In response to this, one of the protestors asks the U.S. National Guardsmen to kneel — and to the delight of many of the protestors, they do. “I don’t know, that ain’t enough for me,” Keke says as several of the U.S. National Guard members kneel. “That ain’t enough for me”. Keke’s passionate plea has received strong social media support. “The young woman showed the power of speech and non-violent activism,” another user added. “We need more dialog”. “She is trying to talk, not berate or yell ... In the end, she makes a difference because she reached their minds and hearts,” a third person added
