Lynching.
Powerful word, that.
Some might say it’s an exaggeration but the world bore witness to an act of abuse, profiling, racism, brutality and ultimately a black man put to death by the one that was supposed to hold legal authority. Seems like a modern day lynching to me.
Let us not easily forget what happened to the late George Floyd, May 25th 2020, may he rest in peace. Let us never forget the many before him, and achingly enough - the many to come after him. Because isn’t that the truth of it?
I can’t breathe while black people continue to be abused - can you?
