The nation has been at an uproar with the protest for the killing of George Floyd taking place last week and birthing protest across the states. We have to mark a goal and one has been accomplished with the joining of law enforcement kneeling in solidarity with the protesters. This unity is a sign of attention and awareness of the true cause of the rage and activity being conducted during the protests. The ailment of racism is being acknowledged by the union of solidarity.
The sight shouldn’t be fixated on the isolation of a race being victimized but on the ailment that affects everyone with a willingness to acknowledge if we deter from the negligence and allow the wounds to fester caused by this unattended injury will be detrimental to humanity. As a nation, the hope is that from the kneel of solidarity we can rise towards progression taking into account the severity of this ailment and that it will require an ongoing treatment of proactive healing for as long as it’s been a thorn in the side of our nation.
The best counter attack to what’s been birthed from the womb of hatred is love. A love for oneself, one’s fellow man/woman and one’s nation with the generations succeeding us in foresight. There’s hope that if we cannot express love with words due to volatility of the ruptured emotions of this sudden replay of injustice, then maybe we can march, kneel, stand or maintain peace within the distance of each other until we can come together again as a nation healing proactively towards progression as we know we can and will.
As the protest continues, may the Floyd family legal team continue to make discoveries and bring justice suffice to this replay of injustice. May the protesters and law enforcement increase in taking a kneel and remain in solidarity.
You Are Loved, Indeed!
