His death signifies a tipping-point for many Americans and African Americans alike, as his death paints a familiar portrait of unfair treatment towards African American men in America.
As Mr. Floyd’s murder was captured by onlookers and seen across the globe, the murder of George Floyd is an overt and ever-present reminder of the injustices that many African American men suffer without the privilege of watchful eyes.
It is time America has the courageous conversation on race, racism and its implications across all sectors of life.
America must take a zero-tolerance approach to the unjust treatment of not only African American men, but anyone who is victimized by the system in which they must submit on any level – as compliance is compliance.
As I have watched countless communities and people of all hues across the globe come together in solidarity to end the senseless murder of black and brown men, I see clearly the possibility of eminent change.
