Niin siis anteeksi mitä? Voitko selventää mitä tarkoitat tällä?
Obama otti kantaa tähän vetämällä esiin rotukortin: "But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly ‘normal’ — whether it’s while dealing with the health care system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in the park. "
Hän toki edellytti myös että George Floydin kuolema tutkitaan kunnolla ja oikeus toteutuu, mutta on edesvastuutonta heittää bensiiniä liekkeihin. Varsinkin kun tällaisiset tapaukset ovat aikaisemminkin johtaneet mellakointeihin.
Michael Moore veti sitten vielä pidemmälle kehumalla niitä jotka polttivat poliisiaseman. Ihan samanlaista rotunillitystä tässäkin: "Good citizens burning down the evil police precinct in MN after all police were out & safe. All police should go home. No violence please. Police HQ must be demolished by the city tomorrow as a show of contrition to black America. Rebuild PD with decent kind ppl aka ppl of color "
CNN:n Val Jones: "You know, it’s been horrific. I haven’t seen the black community this impacted, this upset since April 29th, 1992, with the Rodney King verdicts coming down the way they did. You have to go back that far. Everybody that I talked to is sad. They say they’re tired. There is a judgment against people, frankly, like myself, who have been saying, hey, we will pass laws. They don’t want to hear that anymore. They don’t believe it anymore. This is from top to bottom. People have lost faith. When you see a lynching —that lynching of a black man in broad daylight and something broke in this country when he died in that way. So those of us who have been working inside the system have been saying hey, we’re changing laws. We got bipartisan support things are moving in a positive direction. They don’t believe us anymore. Something has to be, has to be federal legislation, there have to be arrests, convictions. We have to look in our own hearts, how do we get to this place? "
Ainoa oikea reaktio tällaiseen rikokseen on edellyttää että se tutkitaan ja syylliset tuomitaan. Siitä ei ollut tässä kohtaa epäilystäkään. Spekulointi rasismilla ja nillittäminen siitä kuinka mustia sorretaan on ennenaikaista ja vastuutonta.
