George Floyd

I I tried not to mention the crime Siblings, it is high time America stopped self-flagellation, Self-hate, self-abnegation II I feel for him, brother George ("of the earth") I came close, but saved by a different birth To feel the accusing eyes: "Me, the evil one" Only because I stayed in school, joined the run III Black America wants to drive, play ... like us Tired of fighting for a seat, decades after Rosa Parks George Floyd is a hero for having lived BLACK A remnant yells, "Deport the upstarts. Send 'em back"

In my own city, my little city, in 2016, Abdirahman Abdi was beaten to death by a police officer wearing assault gloves. I know better than to think it is solely an American problem. Police oversight is now tracking the statistics on racial profiling, and I am happy to say our new police chief is black. Will moves us forward. xomo
