[quote=NeetaT]No,I will not say his name “George Floyd”.
But!!!!!
I will say their names: Aracely Henriquez, Angel Negrete,
Amanda Negrete, and Juan Botello.
These are the people that George Floyd robbed at gunpoint and caused years of PTSD in their lives.
Thank you![/quote]
chauvin will get not only a not guilty, but a presidential medal of freedom for advancing the cause of justice in America. Limbaugh. Chauvin. these freedom fighters names will live in our hearts forever.
maybe he should skip the delay, opt for a speedy trial so he can go for the presidential pardon, just in case. seriously.
i don’t think anyone believes riots are “noble”. I dont think anyone approves of the wilful destruction of others property in our society. To understand an impulse is not the same as approving of an impulse.
i doubt anyone thinks even that protesting peacefully is particularly noble. it was from a bygone era, when people had a sense of decency, when they felt shame for things that were wrong in society.
remember when all the women marched against trump early in his presdiency. I think the majority thought it was mildly amusing. certainly not “noble”
Trumps shamelessness is our communal shamelessness. maybe thats why we like him so much, as a nation. he has given us permission to be unashamed.
just as he shamelessly and openly pursues his own interests, enriches himself wrongfully right in our faces, we feel liberated to care nothing about the overall justice of society,a nd to hunker down in our own mental bunker, and tweet our own thoughts into a circular mirror of self satisfaction.
The country is too entrenched, everyone feels they are right and has decided the issues; no one left has an open mind or will ever change their position.
so long as we protect the stock market, everything’s cool. and the market seems to enjoy the underclass flailing helplessly.
you’d think the retreat to the bunker wouldve freaked out some traders, but, no….
really though…the bunker? a mask is a sign of weakness, but hiding in an underground bbunker is strength?
i think our society could be a little less cruel and a little better to one another. but maybe that’s too radical. is that white guilt? maybe. slavery was long over by the time my people got here too.
