The Minnesota governor appears to honestly speak now. And strive to acknowledge the seriousness of George Floyd's death. And to teach, not threaten or preach, that if civil order is not found now there will be no justice for anyone.
Can America actually take this moment to face our long history of injustice to people of color? Do we have yet, so civil disobedience can end in Minneapolis, confidence in ourselves and courage to act strongly and clearly enough to this to bring equal justice for all?.
This question is before us, no matter how uncomfortable: I don't see how there can be any honest person who does not ask her/himself, " If the nation had seen a white person treated as George Floyd was would someone have already been arrested while careful investigation proceeds? " The world will watch again now for that to happen or not.
It appears , to many persons, from video evidence that an unarmed bound American citizen, George Floyd, has been murdered by a policeman, while other policemen watch his death. That is grounds for arrests to follow quickly. Then time can be had for establishing guilt or not in court. Right hearted professional law officers would be as determined in this outcome as any citizen.
Are Americans agreed that arrest should come as swiftly for any color of person in America? Hopefully we will see that our determination for equal justice is alive. Each American needs to Express themselves as well as they can to each other as this unfolds.
If the answer to the question regarding arrest is yes, then we can clearly understand, more of us can really get it, why Minneapolis is burning. We must face ourselves and our history of thousands of times across our land when justice has come slow and often never to protect persons of dark skin compared to fair skin.
If we dont face this simple historical American reality than our incapacity to learn what our own personal and collective lives teach us can naturally destroy us.
