'm not an US citizen and know too little about the whole thing but what benefits have come out of these wave of protests? I think dealying the event is somehow a way of encouraging people to go out and cause more anarchy, entertainment in 2020 for some people have become a way to keep sane, and taking it away from everyone will not help in any way at all...
In the US, minorities face harsh realities, some on a daily basis. Discrimination is a common one and, as of recent, murder. Over the past decade, many African-American were murdered by police brutality, and to raise such awareness to stop this from going on, a movement was formed: Black Lives Matter. People marched, preached, and it all went viral for a couple of weeks. But the police brutality continued. Another innocent black man was killed. He was choked to death in public. This time athletes began a protest of their own and kneeled during anthems. Folks ridiculed it, conservatives targeted them as traitors to the country. The NFL dropped the athlete responsible and banned such gesture to ever be used during the anthem. The message became derailed by ignorant folks. This year two more black Americans died from police interference, one which had nothing to with anything, shot and killed in her home. No matter what form of protest, here in the US, it gets brushed by memes, entertainment, games, or derailed to fit someone's narrative outside of what the protests are really supposed to be about.
So people wonder, after George Floyd died, what's with all the rioting? Simply, nobody knows what else to do other than lash out in anger. It's heartbreaking because it seems like things will always be on repeat. And no matter what, blacks will always be punished for the color of their skins, like, it's some permanent fate. It only seems permanent because the majority would rather escape rather than end racism.
I'm tired of this cycle. I'm tired of it being brushed under the rug with memes, video games, entertainment, and so on.
We're dealing with centuries of trivial hate that's still going (for some reason). I'd gladly trade a few days of postponement
so that we can closely end a centuries-old ugly problem.
