TRUMP AGAINST PROTESTERS

Many cities in America are witnessing continuous demonstrations against Racism and Police Brutality.  George Floyd ,  African American ,  was suffocated to death by white policeman.  Whilst others watched on helplessly. The murderer fixed George on the ground kneeling on his neck till he expired ,  so very inhumanely. His offense was possession of a fake dollar. His infamous demise is catalyst for Worldwide protests ,  peaceful and very violent at times depending on mood of the anti Racism protesters.  Inside USA several commercial 
shops and buildings have been looted and structures demolished or incinerated in anger by the mob.  They are calling for action to end  racism , selective justice and state encouraged brutality against peoples of colour by the police in America.  President Trump accused supporter of White Supremacist. activities , maches and show of force in public appears very uncomfortable with Black Lives Matter Movement , the name given to activities of those against Racism and Police Violence in America and elsewhere. Trump has illegally sent Federal Security agents to some American States and places where the Movement is specially active. To attempt stopping  the demonstrations. Many are annoyed. They find reaction of Trump Administration to  protesters unnecessary and very provocative. Some are of the view that Trump is motivated by political considerations. And that his actions are aimed at winning votes from racist America Constituency. Some State Governors have vowed to resist Federal Agents being used to silence protestations.  Police Violence is scarcely punished in America. For this reason many suffer violent and brutal police attacks daily. And are denied justice. Often victims are punished and jailed on false changes made by police against the receiver of police violence. Now is the time all sane peoples everywhere should come together with one voice denouncing Racism in all forms and every kind of police violence and injustice.  Racism against African Americans was opposed in the 1960 s by Civil Rights Movements led by charismatic leaders such as Martin Luther king , Malcolm X and S Carmichael. A lot of positive changes were achieved in race relations. Segregation and inequality policies were officially out lawed. And relative harmony and peaceful coexistence among different peoples started to prevail. Unfortunately the Human Rights gains exited officially but not universally accepted and practised by all. White Supremacists continue to project racist ideology of hatred against African Americans in particular and peoples of colour generally. Racism underlies most disturbances and suffering in American Society.  It determines Social Mobility , Economic Power and even residential areas of members of Society. African Americans are most deprived ,  excluded or marginalized. The poorest of the poor are found among them. They are mostly not properly employed , lack fine skills and good education. Many survive on poorly paid menial jobs and food stamps. Homelessness is high in African American population. And are highest group among prison inmates. Life is unpleasant for many blacks. Substance abuse and suicide rate are very  high with them.  However many remarkable personalities in entertainment and music industry are peoples of colour. They are very athletic and have excelled in various sporting activities at the highest levels.  After all forefathers of African Americans were ones whose slave labour and hard work have made Amerca very strong and wealthy among nations of the World. It is only just , right and proper that descendants of nation builders be accorded equal rights in the nation their ancestors made great and prosperous. Say no to racial disequilibrium. And yes to peace and harmony among all peoples irrespective of race , gender or position in life.
