8 minutes and 46 seconds: Black and White Fight in the 21st Century

                                 

               

   

As we all are aware of the death of 46year old George Floyd in Minnesota, where his death is stated as a murder by the police officer where he was pinned down to his throat and he was unable to breathe for 8 minutes 46 seconds because he was accused of buying cigarettes with counterfeit $20 bill. His last words were when choked by the officials were " I can't breathe", Please don't kill me", "Mama" which became a word of mouth for the protestors.

The Americans have always shown their racist attitude towards black and brown and it has been witnessed for a prolonged period. American racial community has depended on the American African community disputes and dynamism in attitude.

Later when the examiner of the US official examined his body it was found that he lost his due to lack of oxygen. He was a homicide and died from asphyxiation. Floyd has recent methamphetamine use and fentanyl intoxication along with hypertension and coronary disease. All of this factor leads to the contributing factor to his death.

People globally protested for his murder with the placard " I can't breathe", "Black lives matter"," White silence is violence" voicing their solidarity with Americans demonstrating against Floyd's killing. The US already is having a hard time coping up with the inclined rate of corona pandemic and people havoced the places in mass with protesting in the group and rallying it down on the streets of Time Square, New York. People have marched and protested beyond the curfew time in the streets of Manhattan and by the Brooklyn Bridge.

 People are barging the shops, breaking the glass walls, robbing the items from shops,. These are not the ways to convey sorrows and make this a segment of a protest.

Black people have used the social media platform to an outcry and manifest misery. Black people in America grew up learning, educating, and fighting for the rights with a hope to see activism and justice. They are broke and finally realized by the death of George Floyd that the world wouldn't change and seem tired of fighting and patching up their guts to see a hope of justice. "Racism is Suffocating the minds" because people are not born racist they are made one.

While I was researching the matter and learning the insights in-depth I came across a point where it was stated that George Floyd was arrested and convicted of robbing and beating up a Pregnant  Black Woman. He wanted money and drugs and she refused to give him, he pointed out the gun at her stomach.

When his death news aired there were some who were against this said why are you marching and protesting for him when he is a monster and deserved to be killed.

People are taking a stand and expressing their opposition for the Black People Justice and on the other side, we hear the news of him being a monster.

So as we aware of people are manifesting for impartiality for blacks whereas some people may not have come across the news scaring a pregnant lady. So if we get more indulged in the matter and question why are people protesting for a man who has been evil to a black pregnant woman? are people aware of the reality?  who should we be securing safety for black women or we say we don't compare them with black men? 

If I had to quote my views to these questions I would have supported for the "Black Justice" and raised my voice to stop racism, but when it comes to being a black man and not conveying the same level of acclaim for black women then that person doesn't deserve to be the reason of a protest.
