AMERICA IS ON ITS KNEES FROM THE PANDEMIC AND THE UGLINESS OF RACISM


What happened in Minneapolis, USA, wherein George Floyd, 46, and the officer now charged with his death, Derek Chauvin, 44, by sinking his knee to the former’s throat, which now created the famous outrageous political rhetoric: “I can’t breathe.”

This incident where a US police used excessive force to a black American and the people of color responded aggressively like the hornets whose nest has been violated. The black people swarm the streets in a coordinated outrage protest that escalated to looting and burning the cities down. Let me say these words: when can they ever learn their history lesson?

The foregoing is a vivid illustration that will keep you reminded of how you may be able to move forward and be a step ahead according to the code we live by. When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk because we are all involved in this journey called life. So, let’s keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. It is because each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.
