(Chapter 3) What if Floyd was a White guy?


I have found some people saying that the media has gone crazy and creating a Hero, a Martyr out of George Floyd. These people suggest that he had committed 5 criminal offenses in the period between 1998 & 2007 which include armed robbery twice and 3 times of being in possession of cocaine. They prolong their argument by saying that by trying to arrest him on May 25 the policemen were actually helping the society as he had consumed Meth and was just about to start his car to drive in a rash manner and kill some innocent. Wow! What an explanation!! How do you know that he would have killed a human or not? Are you some kind of an astrologer? 
All these things posted against Floyd makes me laugh. It's nothing but a feeble attempt to justify the horrific crime committed by those 4 cops. What if he had taken drugs and made armed robbery in the past? Does that give the policemen full authority to kill him publicly like some wretched street dog?? That too after 13 years?? Do you guys know that after those 5 criminal offenses he had improved a lot and was going to Church regularly between 2007 and 2019? Do you know that he had repented and confessed for these sins of his to a local pastor in Houston? Do you know that he was a gentle guy who believed in charity? Even Sanjay Dutt, the Indian film star has committed similar offenses in the past..like drug consumption and possession of arms.. but you won't object watching a fictitious film (SANJU) projecting him as an victim of the society and eulogizing him as some kind of extremely powerful Demi-God? Why? Just because he is a film-star born to a celebrity couple, with a silver spoon in his mouth? The fact that people like these try to find faults with a dead black guy - that itself shows "racism". One more thing - 
Mr.Fault-finder, If suppose the guy murdered on 25th May was not black but if he was white, would you still shamemessly start digging into his past and consider him accountable for his own death??? NO WAY. You would have shut your mouth and sneaked away sheepishly like a small dirty rat into a quiet corner, without saying a single word. This attempts to demean Floyd after his death are only because his skin color was black. This is nothing else but racism. The one who made this post is as equal a racist as the 4 cops, who killed Floyd. Racism can not prevail.

Chapter (7) What do the Black Americans think about the White Americans? Solutions to the Problem of Racism

The Black African American race had entered the USA about 401 years ago as discussed in earlier chapters. These people have tried hard to merge themselves completely into the american mainstream in these 4 centuries.  But despite their hard attempts and support given by quite a few good-hearted whites, who believed in the principles of equality and justice, these attempts of the black community have not been very successful. A clear "division" is visible, especially when incidents like that of the murder of George Floyd at Minneapolis, happen. Suddenly the brotherhood and the good vibes disappear. They are replaced by patterns of thoughts filled with discrimination, which would generate bad vibes, obviously. An air of suspicion gets created between the two communities all of a sudden. The whites start suspecting each and every black citizen, wherever they meet - on the road, in the pub, at a dinner party, in a populated market... everywhere. In this situation, suppose a whi...

Chapter (10)- Episodes of Racism in World History

If we look at the history of the world, we find that Racism is as old as the human civilization. Humans are believed to have been existing on this planet since 200,000 years. Right from primitive stage when humans lived in caves, preyed on animals and lived savage lives racism has been there. Just like kindness, cruelty and to be a racist are inborn features of a human being. Let us look into detail about those different episodes of racism in human history, which have changed the course of things for the future or at least have been so intense that nobody is able to forget them even after passage of so many years.

Some people call him the worst human ever, in recorded history. Why did he deliberately murder millions?...
