If anyone wants to watch how to kill a man by asphyxiation ;I would suggest to watch the real video of George Floyd who has been killed brutally ,mercilessly and in cold blood. The bully American are now experiencing an excruciating exasperation over Floyd episode that has arrested attention of all strata irrespective of count, country or courtyard. It’s thanks to social media that we are getting the graphic account of ongoing goings-on on the democratic ground of America. No men in flesh can endure such an execrable ,inhumane and inexcusable actions taken on Floyd .It is not a new news rather the Black American have to face such sorts of Cellophobia , Cacophobia and ergophobia; wherever they go and wherever they may be.
We haven’t forgot Rosa Louise Park and Montgomery bus boycott saga that gave a new vista of outlook regarding how the Black were deprived of and treated in the public place and how much imperious the White were.
The recent Floyd episode is the paroxysm of pent-up emotions ,so its repercussions will result in definite distinction .
To build up a nations ,it needs helping hands from all corners and stances, irrespective of caste and creed, of high and low, of patriot and traitor, of businessman and labour .This very America has been using blackjack playing to the gallery in the name of ensuring peace and human rights, deducing discrimination, rejuvenating democracy and so on and so forth. But now world can watch the topsy-turvy of this torch bearer nation in the political world.
This very America fetched the Black to shore up their economic ground and the black have been used only for the White’s pleasure and prosperity. The total number of the Black comprise 14% out of total population and the White comprises 72%. A country living in the highest echelon of development and dignity in field of technologies and tactics of geopolitics puts a margin among its people who are thought to be culturally refined smacks of travesty of justice and judgement. Whereas ,they are ardent to accosting in others affairs that is really and truly matter of mock.
Using repressive state apparatuses (RSA) can’t bring positive result and feedbacks and its finales are always painful and put the RSA in penitentiary.
Regrettably, no real number of Black victimized have been given and proper steps to curb it have been taken. It means Americans Rules of engagement (ROE) is axiomatic for the non White people.
The Floyd episode has sparked and stirred all the suppressed and oppressed throughout the world .we can’t say that only the American black have been treating roughly rather all the minoraties living some parts of the world namely :Uyghur of china, Muslim in Kashmir, Muslim in Burma, Santal in Bangladesh have been ground down either culturally, economically or religiously.
Interestingly, this aggrandized American decision makers and political demagogues have used tall talks snooping around the world whereas they are burning in their own fire .
Western consumerism has failed to redress a balance among the people as a result of which a significant number of people are still to go under unprivileged. What we are seeing in most of the cities :looting spree has been superseded in shopping spree and it is bitterly true that opposite of shopping spree is shopping for free. In a consumerist society where there is great gap between the upper class and the lower-middle class people. As a result, this deprived people are now ransacking most of shopping places.
It is a matter of thought and it has been seen that if electricity is absent or blackout for few hours in America ; market place becomes target of the people who are either pathologically miscreants or plunderer on the spur of the moment.
Minneapolis will dismantle its police department or take other actions promising to create a new system of public safety in a city where law enforcement has long been accused of racism and Rules of engagement (ROE) .
Only set of rules and regulations are not enough to sedate the existing situations rather this aggrandized nation should change their mindset to the Black or other migrants.
