Two years ago, the multi-talented Donald Glover, aka “Childish Gambino” made history and controversy with his hit song “This Is America.”
In trying to understand the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis, MN police officers, that song keeps rattling around in my head.
I, like so many of you, watched the video of life leaving the body of Mr. Floyd.
Instead of offering help, the officer continued to kneel on Mr. Floyd’s neck until he ended his life.
Side by side photos of the Minneapolis officer and Kaepernick kneeling were tweeted and retweeted millions of times.
