What else could go wrong? What’s next, lobsters? After months of limitations in our activities, in order to try to limit the risks and ramifications of this pandemic, and the knowledge, Social Distancing and the use of mask, as well as, reduce the exposures, necessary, to be a citizen responsible, many people. experienced, a degree of loneliness, helplessness, sadness, fear, etc., that seemed to dominate our current existence! When this is combined, with the history of racial conflicts, and the perception of overreaction and police violence, towards minority citizens and, these days, when it seems that there is always a camera, somewhere, as well as the mass media of communication. exposure, and what appeared to be a clear case of life-threatening behavior, the recent death of a Minnesota man, apparently without cause, sparked an extreme backlash! This repressed The excitement, the bombardment, during these last three years, of the current occupant of the White House, has created a division, along racial and partisan lines. Violence, by anyone, is wrong, regardless of the reason, but if you don’t understand the underlying causes, have you considered that it could be part of the problem? With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review, and discuss 4 key issues to seriously consider.

1. We need non-violent protests, instead of mob – rules and violence: The late Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., preached and lived his life dedicated to the concept of peaceful and non-violent protests. In fact, sadly, he gave his life, in that search, and when he was assassinated, there were massive riots, in many cities. When notified of this event, during a campaign stop in Indianapolis, the late Robert F. Kennedy, empathically I spoke to a crowd, in that city, and it calmed them down, enough, that there would be no disturbances there. Sadly, RFK suffered the same fate as MLK, only a few months later. There is nothing more American than protesting injustice. One of the key historical events, remember, was. The Boston Tea Party!

2. Demand better and more humane responses, treatment and leadership: Put yourself in the shoes of minorities! What happened with, All men are created equal gold, equal protection of the law, etc? Shouldn’t everyone feel that he is safe and that they can count on their public officials and the police to serve, protect and represent them, safely, etc.? With the repeated rhetoric, articulated by President Trump, how do you think he makes many of these people feel?

3. You need a thorough review / examination of the possible ramifications and reasons for these events, etc. It’s time to think outside the box! These recurring atrocities and mistreatment (which seem racially motivated) should not be tolerated and / or considered acceptable and / or normal! This is not a time for partisan politics, incendiary and polarizing rhetoric, but we have to return the united to the United States of America!

Four. Don’t let this become the New normal, and recognize potential ramifications: We cannot afford the same – old, same – old approach to the inherent problems that are dividing our citizens! It is normal, for many, to feel that they have been mistreated and to feel threatened, rather than protected, by the police, but the violence that we are witnessing cannot be accepted.

Wake up, America, and avoid another Civil War, without delay! We must defend, the right of a person to protest, express their opinion, etc., but never tolerate violence and riots as an alternative! To do this, we must change the way we think, and how, the police and the communities, interact, etc. There is no place for systematic racism in our nation! This president’s rhetoric and tweets seem to present a clear and present danger / threat to the future of our nation!
