BLACK LIVES MATTER

  • Racism and attacks against blacks are prevalent in America and elsewhere in Europe. Blacks are inferior , stupid and backward according to racists. Racism is a complex. It is a mirage. And a cover up. For insecurity , FEARS and instability of racists. Skin colour , appearance and culture do not speak to quality of intellectual capacity and nature of anyone. All humankind derive from one and the same source. Environment may. superficial traits. But essence is independent of environmental space. Racism shows its ugly self in various aspects of life. To discriminate and favour one over the other. Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was racist and economic activity. Africans were forcibly uprooted from Africa under force of arms into Americas , Europe and elsewhere to work as slaves in plantations and construction industry. For development of the new spaces they were dumped. Descendants of slaves and their families are still being mistreated , discriminated and suppressed. Police brutality against people of African decent is common in America. Many African Americans are murdered and punished with outrageous jail terms for slightest infractions. They are institutionally made very disadvantaged economically , socially and materially. Just recently one George Floyd died slowly , as a police officer suffocated him by kneeling on his neck. At a moment others looked on helplessly. Inhumane death of the African American for  suspected criminal offense sparked violent protests all over America and other Countries in Europe and elsewhere for days. Despite  COVID-19 Pandemic. And need to protect oneself ,  from catching. Corona Virus Disease.  COVID-19 protective protocols were mostly disrespected.  Solidarity demonstrations were called BACK LIVES MATTER.  The killer of George Floyd is White American policeman. Usually nothing serious is applied to serve as deterrent or punitive measure to the White racist police officer (s) in such situations.
