Letter to the Editor
All too often history repeats itself and then life goes on! The tragic death of George Floyd is one example. An innocent life is lost by pure racist feelings, there are protests followed by unacceptable looting of commercial businesses and then forgotten until it happens again!
Why should we see such repetitive instances in our history especially in 2020!
Sure looting and burning of offices and commercial businesses is not acceptable and must be condemned. But is that the only problem? My answer would definitely be NO!
When you hear hatred from the very top echelon of the US government then what do you expect!
Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”
He said this more than half a century ago. Are we any closer to his wishes? My answer would definitely be NO!
It is time for us to educate ourselves and our kids. This is not acceptable and must end!
We need to reform the law enforcement system and improve police acts in public safety. We need to educate those around us that this is wrong. It is time for the people of the U.S. from all walks of life to mobilize and organize campaigns to demand justice, reform in police behavior, condemn the misuse of power, and finally find an effective “cure” for this cancerous tumor to empower solidarity, unity, and diversity in the U.S.
More than a thousand years ago famous Iranian Poet sa’di wrote these wisdom words:
"The children of Adam are the members of each other,
who are in their creation from the same essence.
When day and age hurt one of these members,
other members will be left (with) no serenity.
If you are unsympathetic to the misery of others,
it is not right that they should call you a human being."
Mehdi Amini

The problem comes from the time of Abe Lincoln, when he issued executive order of Emancipation proclamation. They outlawed slavery and let slaves free before they educated them.
Apparently the writer of this blog has never been in black neighborhood after mid night, otherwise, he would have experienced how "children of Adam" rob, shoot and kill other innocent human being in a cold blood. Most likely he is NOT willing to live in black neighborhood, NOT even for one day.
Typical white liberal. Always talk about "racial equality", but as soon as the negro moves into their neighborhood, everybody moves out.
I rather not go too much with someone who remains faceless and in 2020 still uses the word Negro
“One hundred years later (after the Emancipation Proclamation), the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.”
Martin Luther king

The level of prejudice, racism and stupidity by some is truly amazing and beyond belief. Some aim to outdo the rednecks.

“The time is always right to do what is right” – Martin Luther King
As we see in the above Martin Luther king always refered to black people as "NEGRO".
Negro is a race. This blog is about the race, not about degrating certain group of people. The problem is that the writer is NOT able to distinguish between the world "Negro" as a "Racial identity" and "Nigger" as a racist slur.
Anyway, we are here for education. We have 3 main races in the world.
A. Caucasoid - refers to caucasin or white race or Europeans.
B. Negroid - refers to Negro or black race or Africans
C. Mongoloid- refers mongolian or yellow race or Asians.
I still dont get you. Fine I do not know the difference between Nigger and Negro. I have one question for you. Do you justify his killng?
In the hillbilly edition of the Thesaurus frequently referenced by the scholarly redneck Billy Bob Trump supporters, there’s a fine distinction between these terms!
"Killing" is strong word for what we see on footages of George Floyd.
"Killing" by definition is meant to be an act of harming anothe human being with prior intention or plan. I personally don't think officer Derek Chauvin had prior intention or plan of killing George Floyd.
Even in US judicial system the verdict comes as a result of INTENTION.
Was the act committed in a "GOOD FAITH" or it was intended to kill ?
It is kind of hard to answer that question because I personally don't know Derek Chauvin, otherwise, I could have decided that the act was premeditate or it was accidental.
Our information about George Floyd:
1. He was suffering from Covid 19. Document shows he was tested positive for Virus on 04/03/2020. He did NOT use face mask during arrest, so he may have infected police offiers.
2. At the time of arrest, He was high on street drug named "Angel dust" or metaamphetamine. "Angel dust" is slang for that drug because people who are under influence of crystal metaamphetamine, they see angels.
3. Criminal record goes back to 2001 when he was arrested for possession of cocaine in 2 occasions and served one year in country jail in Houston, Texas time each time.
4. In 2007, he was charged with "Home invasion armed robbery". He broke into a woman's house and put a gun on woman's stomach asking for money and drug. He served 5 years in state prison for that robbery.
He was 6 feet 7 inches tall. Imagine at the middle of the night. One big black guy appear at your door step with a shot gun then you see his picture like an angel with wing in the above picture...ha... ha.. ha.. it is really funny.
During arrest, he refused to enter police car saying that he was "Clausterphobic" , means he is afraid of small areas such as room, cars.... etc. but he was sitting in the car just few mintues before police officers showed up.
Police officers followed "arresting protocol" step by step, as they were trained to do so in police academy. One of the police officers, Tou Thao, is NOT even white, he is Asian descendant. He is minority himself, but he was charged for being racist.
Now, how many of these people who attended protest know about these information.?
I doubt it even 1%.
I am sure at some point they find cure for cancer or Covid-19 but I doubt they be able to cure stupidity and racism.

“The time is always right to do what is right” – Martin Luther King
I almost forgot to mention that George Floyd also suffered from medical illness by the name of Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It is thicking and hardening of walls arteries. It affects the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles, a shortage of oxegen delievered to the heart itself may lead to heart attack.
Poor officers who did their jobs according to training they practiced in police academy. They did their jobs according to "arresting guidline or arresting procedures", but they had been in a wrong place, at the wrong time. Victims of circumstance. Justice were NOT served for them because the verdict, court process were also under coercion of outside of court rally.
