Actually, this is not just for Floyd, it is for decades of oppression against blackmen in the US of A. And by the time the Society knows that irresponsible dehumanizing of blackmen (or other races for that) might carry a health damage burden, the system will be forced to adjust. It is fvcking annoying how people are treated based on colour. And it doesn't matter if you're African-American, or African, or if you are a secondary school dropout or a fvcking black professor or surgeon in US, from time to time the lowest of the white-skinned treat you with unbelievable disdain. Blackmen can not be educated, civilized, decent, or rich enough for them. They freaking stereotype you and treat you like filth. And it is about time that the US (and all other racist motherfvckers like China and the UK) realize that blacks aren't as powerless as they have always believed...

Also imagine the US' condescension towards the African Development Bank and Adesina.


But violence is not the way. It makes no sense to make people cry because of protests. people's livelihood are being destroyed. Makes no sense.

May your wisdom and understanding continue to increase.

So many Nigerians unused to the idea of true freedom won't understand what is going on in the US. All they see is properties getting destroyed... to hell with properties at this time. Most properties that are in any case covered by insurance...

What people (black, white, blue, etc) are protesting is not the necessarily the fact that George was so brazenly murdered in broad day light by a white police office who knew he was being recorded, while another police office stood guard supervising his killing... As terrible and sad as that was, that's not why people are protesting. They are protesting principally because the system refused to acknowledge that a terrible crime had just been committed by the same police officers paid from citizen's tax (including George's tax) to preserve the human rights of citizen (including George's fundamental right to life). The state police refused to make arrest. They simply dismissed the officers. After that, no arrests were made. Add that to the decades of similar experiences suffered by blacks in the 20th to 21st century, then you start understanding while people have to be angry... And when the fake-haired im.beci.le of their president too would talk, he worsened the situation.

And this isn't time to start bringing out statistics that the whites too are victims of crime. Yes, they are, but they are usually given fair trial, and prompt investigation. The US as it currently is protects the whites while the blacks get killed by cops and that's where it ends.

If you Nigerians don't understand these social nuances characterizing life in US, then y'all crying over the riot should stfu. Yes, we know the riot has been hijacked and all, but it is hijacked in the name of so brazenly killing a black man in broad daylight. Hopefully the next cop that feels so eager to slaughter a black man in US will now have some incentive to take a pause.


kikero:


Actually, the Democrats are not behind this

Exactly the same riots happened under Obama, and have happened in one way or the other for decades.

The issue is this. Black people in the US have been at the mercy of the racist system for a long time. Now, I won't deny things have improved...it used to be far worse (an older relative of mine once turned down an opportunity to study in the US back in the day because of the horror tales he heard from senior colleagues).

The problem is, for many years, black people could be shot by the police, shot even by ordinary citizens (yes, it happened)...and nothing was done. And these things add up and make people angry.

An example. In the late 1940's, a black young man, who had fought with distinction in World War 2, was shot dead , without provocation, by a white policeman. His younger brother, for his own safety, had to be moved to another part of the USA because the night they brought his elder bro's corpse home, an older relative took one look at the guy's face, and saw the face of a very very angry young man, who if care was not taken, would have exacted revenge...which would have led to the whole black community suffering severe reprecusions. A few days later the man was sent to relatives in California (where he thrived well by the way...but that's another story)

The thing is, over and over again, even in these improved times, black males are more likley to be failed by the system. Before this issue with George....there was a case where a white woman called the police on a black man and lied that he was threatening her. IF htere hadn't been recording that black man could have ended up being shot.

What you are seeing is anger that has built up over generations. It is not easy to go away. And yes, it is very self destructive.(such violence drives out investment and jobs from black areas). But it is understandable. And for once, it isn't something that can be fixed quickly by any president...Trump or anyone else.(It happened several times under Obama.). You cannot fix anger that is generations worth.

The Mumu Trump is the cause of the problem, he talks anyhow and now they want to teach him some leasons.
At the beginning he would have spoken very softly as a father, no, he was bragging to shoot. Now they even brought the riot to the white house neighborhood.

So let me get this straight, the opposition party was the one that instructed the police officer (a well known trump supporter and a rotten racist to the core)to kill George Floyd.

Then the opposition party did not stop there, they went ahead to incite their supporters across major cities in the USA to riot, loot and arson.

So it has nothing to do with the history of the USA itself?

It has nothing to do with the history of relations between the black community and police in the USA?

It has nothing to do with racism?

It is just politics as you say right.

If you had just shut up then maybe your stupidity would have remained within you. That you decided to see a conspiracy theory in this shows the kind of person you are and you are a terrible human being with this kind of unfounded and quite frankly useless commentary.

Opposing opinion can also argue that the whole thing was premeditated and sponsored by Donald Trump to veil his incompetencies, and to sell himself as the tough guy which wouldn't be in advantageous in his re-election bid.

Are you saying killing that poor totally non-violent man made sense?

Are we saying the refusal of the state to arrest the murderers made sense?
Are we saying that Trump's silly reaction calling for shooting of the people made sense?

I know as Nigerians we don't really understand the meaning of human right, that our very own life should be ours and we should never live in a society where others have the liberty to kill us because of the colour of our skin, our religion, or ethnic group. We are so used to being killed and treated like rags in Nigeria that we don't understand why people will erupt in anger and start destroying things... As Nigerians, we don't understand that we even deserve our own life. Americans aren't like this however. Boko Haram has killed more than 10,000 fvcking people. Fulani herdsmen have killed thousands of people. Girls are raped...and not even a single protest, peaceful or violent from Nigerians. Let's just say that as Nigerians we are a much sicker society that has accepted these abnormal experiences and treatment in our own countries. Our pathological pacifism is nauseating, and it makes no sense that we will elevate the value of properties, which are mostly insured, above human life.

Trump should have just calmed the people down at initial stage instead of threatening them with troops like our own President here. Trump made the matter worse with his utterances.

Dont blame Nigerians. Ordinary Peaceful Protest in Nigeria, the police and Army will light up all the protesters. In the Civilized world, they would first use rubber bullets, Canisters, tear gas, beat the protesters etc. Shooting live bullets is always the last option but in Nigeria, the word is shoot at sight. So u cant really compare, Nigerians are angry too.

It is not a felony in Michigan where it occurred.

And so you know the Lockdown protesters did not loot any business, vandalize homes, or burn a church.

Trump is giving the looters sufficient warning. E go change am for them this week or next. Already, the national guard has killed one rioter.

-Lord

It didn't only happen in Lansing.. it happened in NC, Wisconsin etc.. mostly states with democratic governors.. and few states in the midwest with Republican governors.

Looting, riots is wrong in all ramifications.. I am not here to glorify violence unlike Trump.

All I am saying us Trump's policies are very divisive, wayy to partisian.. he seems to only care about conservative movement not anyone else.. but he is the president of both conservatives and liberals alike...

He could have chosen a better wayy to put his point across, I understand your pain but violence is not a way to go, FBI, DOJ are working with Minneapolis police to bla bla bla..... instead he called the protesters thugs, when looting start, shooting start , he made a comment about unleashing dogs on the protesters ( a sour reference to white police officers unleashing dogs on Blacks in the past- in the 60s 70s, 80 and 90s) he was saying all these while hiding in a bunker grin grin

Trump is just a disgrace!!! Not a competent leader!!

What the hell are u saying....I'm condemning destruction of people's property and businesses, and you're saying another. Do people have to loot while protesting? Their can't be a protest without looting? The easiest way to make a protest non-effective is by attacking properties of innocent people.....You'll be living on the boderline of literacy and illiteracy if you can't reason that a violent protest makes no sense....Think. No one is encouraging murder, but it's madness to destroy and loot people's properties. pure madness.
BTW, the policemen were charged for third-degree murder day before yesterday.
