George Floyd held a pistol at a pregnant woman's belly and was caught. Just like when a serial killer is said to have "killed 24 but the number could be as high as 72" Floyd was caught for only this one offence. How many others did he perpetrate? He was released from prison because of China virus, went to Minneapolis and was terminated by the misconduct of a police officer. But ultimately his death is his own fault. But politics intervened and liberal media saw a way to energize the black vote and never reported on Floyd's responsibility in his own death.
So two questions:
A.) When is the Black community as a whole ever going to take responsibility for their own actions?
B.) Now that the elections over, where is all the liberal media chatter over the martyr Floyd? Guess there is no need now that Biden (nefariously) won the election? No votes involved.
The answer to your first question is obvious.
It would simply be too hurtful to do so.
To be fair, how would a "community" take responsibility?
In a way, some leaders have tried to do so in the past, but their attempts were not successful. I remember a Civil Rights leader (I forget his name. He was prominent in the 20th century) who pointed out that while some young people of his ethnicity are throwing bricks, Asians are studying at school.
And, of course, there was that (in)famous confession of the Rev. Jessie Jackson that if he was walking down the street at night and heard footsteps behind him, he would be quite alarmed to turn around and see a young gentleman of his ethnicity.
In my
opinion, the legacy of slavery and then segregation is so strong that we cannot expect much progress in stemming the violence (and defiance) of a significant portion of those young gentlemen.
Well-meaning "liberals" do not know what to do, so their latest agenda is to overhaul the justice system. The new slogan is "
Care first, jail last." They say that they really, really, really believe that if society will show young perps how much they are loved, then they will turn their lives around.
Let's see if President Biden's Attorney General can succeed in achieving this worthy goal.
