Minneapolis protests: White supremacists mad @ lockdown vs Murder of George Floyd

[DivineSoda]

You should see the full video of Floyd's murder if you haven't already. Then you will see it's obvious the cop wanted this man dead. It was no accident. Then maybe this will inform future realizations into what's happening in this world right now. Dig deeper than the same news sites you've been following. Nothing is as it appears. The media's response to this is not as it appears. Nor is the local government's response. Nor are the ensuing violent riots.

Open your eyes.

I talked to a couple right-wing family members about this and they both quickly said it was a terrible video, but the majority of their focus was turned to the damage done by the rioters/looters and how wrong that was.  They don't see the racism.

Several of my family members had the same reaction. . . . It’s a contraction into prior conditioning, self identity and self preservation. This limits one’s ability to expand their experience, awareness and imagination of what it’s like to be someone else.

Nothing will repair what's been done to George Floyd though, and that bitter lemon juice hits an open wound for african-american who are and have been at the receiving end of social violence for hundreds of years.

And to add salt in the wounds, Trump is claiming that he is honoring George Floyd’s life and his death will not be in vain. He is trying to take ownership of Floyd’s life to re-enforce and intensify the racist dynamics that led to Floyd’s death (as well as the maltreatment of many poc). It’s red-level manipulation and brutality. I hope more people start realizing how much of a threat Trump is to civilization.

Lost for words...

Pure egoism delivery. I only just watched it now. I see what everyone is now protesting about. This is a hard one, I don’t feel the response has been the best it could have been. However, something needs to be done. This primitive nationalistic americanised ideal will rot people’s minds before too long. A ubiquitous cleansing of this demented bureaucracy is required.

Be careful not to conflate this with every governmental practice. Not all governments operate in this way. Nonetheless, clearly America is one of the most deluded, as has been shown since 2003.
