Watching the protests over the gruesome death of #GeorgeFlyod at the hand of a white police officer, now charged with murder, show the degree to which people can unite against racism. This movement has now taken a global theme of #humanrights violation and justice for 400 years of enslavement of Black people. One white protester when asked what he thought about it said “this is one Sin America has yet to deal with.” For my fellow Americans who find it hard to place themselves in another person’s shoes, specifically place themselves in Black people’s shoes without judgement does your silence in these matters equate to racism? Does the statistics about how many black people kill other blacks justify racism at any level? That same white protested said “we have not dealt with racism in America like the truth and justice commission held in South Africa,” following the end of Apartheid. What do you think?
