“I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, I cannot breathe, please, please” those were among the last words uttered by GEORGE FLOYD as police officers clearly used excessive force resulting in his murder.
The murder of George Floyd was extremely tragic and represents the straw that broke the camels back. It has brought outrage from people across the globe who have condemned the officers involved and the system that created them.
For decades the black community has protested, pleaded, kneeled and many died asking for a single basic human right - the right to be treated equally.
Is that really too much to ask? Instead we are given SYSTEMIC RACISM a lack of opportunity, white supremacy, discriminatory laws designed to disproportionately incarcerate people of color and if that wasn’t enough we have police that consistently break their sworn oath to protect and serve with little or no accountability.
In society we have all signed a contract, a contract that lays out the rules. However the contract is only as strong as the people who abide by it, but if you’re black you see that contract being broken by systemic racism on a daily basis.
Ask yourself a question is it time for us to negotiate and write a new contract, a contract that truly works fairly for all Americans.
If you don’t believe a new contract is necessary ask yourself why? Because more than likely it means that you are a part of the problem.
In today’s episode we discuss how we got here, the role that the war on drugs played and what we must do going forward to bring change and keep the revolution alive!
I’m your host Garth Case along side my partners in all things green Odain Gabay and Andre Brown and this is the REAL GREEN SHOW.
