COVID-19: Understanding necessity of the protest in London vanguardnews
THIS is an inspiring and eloquent speech by Malcolm X whom I consider a hero like Martin Luther King JrHad I been alive in his time I would probably have advocated violence as a response to the brutality people of colour faced on a day to day basis. Fighting for the right to live is not terrorism, it is called self-defence.
America has moved on from hanging Black people on trees in the day light to killing them on the streets whilst wearing a police badge . In an age of information there is no excuse as to why anyone can be a racist – we live in a globalised world and there is no excuse. Even before we lived in a globalised world, I firmly believe that only a savage in psyche would look at someone that is different from them and proceed to destroy them – it is a barbaric thing to do.
Even when the world literally stopped to make sure no one got killed by the COVID-19 virus, a man was still killed because of the colour of his skin. This told me we live in a world where it is accepted that the colour of your skin could kill you at anytime or place regardless of what is going on in the world – we can protect you from a virus but we can not protect you from a racist.
This is a historical moment because the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that no matter what, you can still die because of the colour of your skin. This problem America has, affects every Black person around the world – think about it – if you are black and male visiting America you have to worry about being stopped by the police with the potential of being killed just for being Black .
