What a beautiful sight to behold: Americans of different races, black & white from different backgrounds, walks of life protesting and looting side by side, shoulder to shoulder. The deeply rooted, entrenched hatred in the soul of the citizens will never make this kind of protest to be replicated in naija. America the greatest country on earth |

[s] lekki1444:[/s] Quit creating excuses for the supremacists to rule over you. None of these things you mentioned should warrant murder. Gone are the days of slavery. We live our lives like free people. A black man has the right to life, just like a white man. The cop killed him unjustly, not even for those reasons you mentioned. So STFU. 12 Likes 1 Share |

George Floyd Two hundred fatalities, hundred more to die, The number keeps growing. unbridled guns in the hands of sadistic cops, another victim on choke hold. he is not of their coat, no need for the court. we go there to mourn, and “justice” a mere joke. another victim is their statistics, they brought their ancestors with guns. Led them forcefully through the seas, They build the place you called home. yet murders their children at random, do they have another home? They obliterate history and silence the offspring by murders. he knelt his neck to the grave, he dares his maker for justice, A deliberate murder in modern America. The stretcher was waiting, cause they meant to kill him. indeed they killed him, ensure he died, as he cried helplessly to deaf ears. This is how they kill us in turns, And for same offences by Johnny they look the other way. Hey Johnny “stay cool” & stay safe. But they snuff his life out. Just because his coat is different again they killed another, who is next? Goodnight George Floyd https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/george_floyd_1256053 1 Like |

logon599:Folks like you who ask this question seem not to get why this is all happening. This is not just happening because Floyd was murdered, this is happening because this has been happening over time where there is a disproportionate abuse and intimidation by the police on people of color. This was just a breaking point. To give you a simple straightforward answer: there won't be this reaction because it would have been a one off. The government won't give the black policeman a slap on the wrist by firing him from the force but I bet you this investigation would be quicker "to instill confidence". This isn't a Black vs White thing, its Black vs Racism as evidenced by the mix of people protesting! 5 Likes 1 Share |

bigstan11787: What's baffling there my brother? Condemn evil wherever it happens, be it in US or in Nigeria. Has Nigerians not been criticizing our own local police brutality in their own way and style? What keeps you from taking a lead in the very style you want us to take? There are issues always everywhere, home and abroad. It's always easy to lay on your comfy bed and be shouting 'Hypocrisy'. 3 Likes |
