Plenty of virtual ink has been spilled about the horrendous treatment of African Americans at the hands of the American police. Those who are supposed to protect and serve will easily kill anyone with non-white skin. This also applies to immigrants, those with accents and those with mental health issues. But African Americans were brought to this country illegally, forced to work, and have never been freed of the social idea that they can never have respect, especially from "authorities".
This has been an issue for the past 400 years, but after 2 months of being locked up, America is bursting at the seams in trying to get the attention of the non-leaders, calling for justice for a man who was choked to death on video over a long period of 8 minutes. Earlier in the week was a black man who was birding in Central Park who videotaped a white woman who called 911 on him. She knew to call out race, to say that an African American man was threatening her life-even though she was the one who had her dog off leash in one of the few areas in the Park that requires a leash at all times. She was committing a crime, and knew that if she called the cops-he would be the one to face consequences. Her name was Amy Cooper, his name was Christian Cooper-at some distant point in the past it is likely that her family OWNED his family. She lost her job and her dog and her reputation. NYC was proud that it turned into a non-issue. But in Minnesota, everything else went wrong.
So the peaceful protests started. And the out-of-state white supremacists began to incite violence. Agent Provocateurs set fires, egged everyone on. It is again an excuse for white expression during continued black oppression. NYC is being destroyed, the police are being supported by the military and very soon we will be living in a police state. All to create chaos in a country, in a world that is beset by a pandemic. To keep the idiot in chief in power. And who knows what else?
