Black Lives Matter  

 

 

               The question we all ask is that how are American people working to stop racial violence and how does racism impact all of society? Racism has gotten worse in the course of a few years and with the violence going on, people would only imagine how much worse it could get. People have been at each other’s throats for all the people that have died because of racism. The people who are looting and violating the law are the ones that are in the streets burning down things and ruining stores for other innocent people. This all started with the death of George Floyd which was caught on camera on May 5th 2020. A police officer had his knee on his neck and there were several officers watching and Floyd pleaded for the officer to get off him but the officer continued to have his knee on his neck and Floyd died in front of all those cops. The movement all started in 2012 in February when a 17 year old Trayvon Martin was walking home with his hood on doing nothing wrong. This had the people do peaceful protests due to the racists who were killing innocent Black people. Today has gone to the next level and people have been rioting and trying to get a word out to all of society. There can be another way of protesting and and spreading the word out because those people that want a change are killing the innocents out in the streets.

 

             Racism has been going on for years and years and if society keeps that up we will continue to be divided and this racial division of all people will get worse.

This Will make an uproar and thousands of more people will join this movement because of the brutal racism act that innocent black  people have to deal with. In the Harvard business review it states that there are more and more people getting involved in the movement and want to make a difference. Black people have had enough of the unequality treatment They have been getting. When people look into a police hurting black people they search and look for evidence of what that person did and don’t mind the abuse or unhuman like treatment that the black person is getting. For example the looting and vandalizing may be all bad in most people’s eyes, but they may be trying to get a message out there that black lives do matter and they are  tired of the police brutality. While this may not be the best decision the black community couldn’t take any more harming and innocents dying for no reason but simply for their race.
