In light of the most recent brutal police killing of George Floyd, we find ourselves right back at square one. More endless rounds of looting/destroying our own neighborhoods and businesses, by night, while cautiously developing sore, swollen feet; and hoarse voices by day-marching. We “protest” with the rest of the nation against the endless cycle of brutal police killings of unarmed Black-American males. 

 

Since Travon Martin, numerous Black-Americans have been killed at the hands of police. Yet, the only response society gives is even longer looting and marches. Nevertheless, in order to call for systemic reforms, you must identify “whom or what” is part of the system. Although issues concerning Black males may start with the police, the police are just the beginning hurdle in systemic racism….and, actually, the smallest part of the problem. Judicial branches, corrections, media, and political system- all play a hefty part.
