George Floyd - Black Lives Matter

-
Not a country for Black Men


I had never thought US would become like this. Spent 18 Yrs. Of my life and never experiencing any racism of any kind, this is just beyond sad.
Never have I felt so much rage watching that smug asshole police officer with his knee on George Floyds neck.

Before the image of George Floyd lying under the knee of a policeman set off shock, anger and protests across the US, the arch of his life crossed crests and troughs.


Growing up a gifted athlete standing at six feet six inches, friends who knew Floyd as a teenager described him as a "gentle giant" who shone on the field in two sports, basketball as well as American football.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said, "Being black in America should not be a death sentence. For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a black man's neck ... When you hear someone calling for help, you're supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense." The day after Floyd's death, the Mayor called the termination of the responding officers "the right call". Two days after Floyd's death, Mayor Frey highlighted the racial nature of Floyd's death, and called for Chauvin to be criminally charged: "If most people, particularly people of color, had done what a police officer did late Monday, they'd already be behind bars. That's why today I'm calling on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to charge the arresting officer in this case. In an interview with CBS that evening, Frey was asked: "Do you think that was murder?" He replied: "I do."

                                                                                    The perfect book for the times

In Minneapolis, a city where 63% of the population is white, 63% of the people shot and killed by police between 2000 and 2018 were black.
Only 8% of the police who patrol our streets live on our streets. The rest live elsewhere.
Minneapolis is just a job for them.
“What am I not understanding? What do I seem to be clueless about?” Austin wondered. “Are we going to be in a space where, if someone does something suspicious, we have to ignore it and not say anything if they’re black?”

Maybe if we all work very hard, the city that killed George Floyd will become a space where the default assumption is that everyone belongs here and anyone deserves to survive their next encounter with the police.

Trump has just lost this election. The racial divide hopefully is not irreparable.


This is not the US of A. These images are so disturbing, just saddened by it. If you are black then US is not for you.
This is not lebenon, this is civil war in 2020 and in US
Being black in US is a death sentence at this point.

It is startling to see the poverty in certain parts of US, you can never imagine, a country so prosperous, so rich in resources cannot uplift people from poverty is hard to believe. As much as I love Obama, this is something he could have and should have done especially in his second term, when you got nothing to lose. Barak Obama should have uplifted the poor black and bought them out of poverty, the Senate or Republicans be damned.

The protest should continue, peacefully, not until the 4 cops are charged with murder but till racial inequalities of USA are not challenged, stereotypes are not changed, law enforcement and more importantly lawmakers are not forced to change and have an inclusive policies

SO read and act fast............ What is the Keto Diet?   You may have heard of the high-protein, low-carbohydrate Atkins diet.
