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.

My friend keep quiet, are you saying white people don't face discrimination also? We have more white people on welfare than blacks and a rich nigga like Jayz will command respect 90% of places he visits. A successful black professor, doctor or professional in America has less chance of being racially discriminated than a drug seller, a gangsta or hoodrat. Police brutality is one thing, a white woman like Karen calling cops on blacks is one thing but to paint it all under one brush and say the system is unfair to blacks alone is pure bullshit! Life ain't fair, people are going to be treated unjustly at some point but if you always look at yourself as a victim then that's what you'll be!

iamoyindamola:
This is getting worse

nikdam:
The racist Trump himself isn't helping the matter. His speech a moment ago is a sorry case, camouflaging with the Holy Bible at the end of it all. I am sorry for Americans under his regim.

hardbody:


To slam you just dey hungry me.

abbey621:


Go and slam your father, I'm 6ft 3, 260 lbs and a former boxer, I'll crush you with one hand lil boy

hardbody:


I am so quaking with fear..m.o.ron.

Floyd had better statistics incase you dont know. I will crumple you.

DMPaulSr:


As in ehhh.
It's getting out of hand.
This is wickedness!!! Looting and Arson will not solve racism..

McCoy662:
This is uncalled for. Damaging someone's means of livelihood is also a racist attack. Protest should be calm and peaceful as supported by the Constitution.

Moneywirer:
This is no longer for late Floyd, I smell politics all over this.
What are the odds that the opposition party didn't incite a reasonable percentage of these series of events just to make Trump look too stupid and incapable of maintaining order with diplomacy?

The highest form of wickedness and man's inhumanity to fellow man is SYSTEMIC RACISM IN AMERICAN POLICE FORCES.......enough is enough.... If it will take looting to stop or drastically reduce the madness

What if he spent fake currency? Then you killed him?

hermesprogidy:
we don't even know if the fake currency allegation is true, it may possibly be mistaken identity. Why would someone knowingly spend fake currency at a store and still hang around the crime scene? It makes no sense.

It's a big shame that blacks are also tribalistic to each other.

Offpoint:
I think it's high time the *"SHOOTING SHOULD START"

abbey621:


You ain't no cop, you ain't even a G and I doubt you ever fired a glock or a shotgun before so I don't get the comparison with Floyd. You just another nobody hiding behind a keyword....Lil boy
