The brutal killing of #GEORGEFLOYD by the #MINNEAPOLISPOLICE in the US, drew the attention of the world once again to #SYSTEMICRACISM and white supremacy. Unfortunately, #POLICEBRUTALITY and other #HUMANRIGHTSVIOLATIONS against BLACK PEOPLE are a daily routine in various parts of the globe. These are not isolated cases. In fact, #RACISM systematically criminalizes us, dehumanizes us, and deepens inequalities towards BLACK POPULATION worldwide. Historically, black movements and activists have denounced racist practices across different countries, highlighting how globally this reality is, going beyond US borders. Each year, thousands of us are killed, tortured, unlawfully incarcerated, and pe
We celebrate the fact that all four fired #MinneapolisPolice officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd’s death now face criminal charges, and all are in custody. According to court records, #TouThao, #ThomasLane and #JAlexanderKueng all face aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder, as well as aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Let us hope and pray that a precedent is set and #JUSTICEBESERVED, so that all the would-be #DAVIDCHAUVINS out there think twice before letting their killing instinct loose on civilians.
El #RACISMOESTRUCTURAL es universal. Apenas nos enteramos de un aberrante crimen ocurrido en #TEJADA, departamento del #CAUCA #COLOMBIA, que ocurrió el pasado 21 de #MAYO. El joven #ANDERSONARBOLEDA fue golpeado repetidamente en la cabeza por la #POLICÍA, por incumplir la cuarentena del #COVID19, lo cual le causó muerte cerebral. Tienes la #HONESTIDADINTELECTUAL para reconocer y hablar sobre el #RACISMO en #COLOMBIA, #VENEZUELA y #LATINOAMÉRICA, en general, o tu sesgo "progresista" sólo te hace verlo y condenarlo en #EEUU?.
We strongly condemn the coward assassination of #StLouisPolice captain #DavidDorn by opportunist criminals posing as protesters, last week, as he was safeguarding a pawn shop. We deplore any crime-apology narrative that justifies murder, looting and theft as part of a #StruggleAgainstRacism. Only a wicked mentality views the destruction of lives, properties and livelihood as a means to overcome #StructuralRacism; quite the contrary, this senseless violence accomplishes nothing but strengthening the historical and vicious stereotypes against #BlackPeople, setting us back for decades and potentially depriving us from what we have already achieved in terms of the public perception. #ASSASINS #L
This is not #PROTEST. These are #CRIMINALS cowardly attacking an innocent man and his wife, trying to defend their business in #ROCHESTER #NEWYORK. Whoever shrugs this off as meaningless, stands for anything but #JUSTICE and #HUMANRIGHTS. Call out these cowards, disguised as #PROTESTERS, for they're part of the problem; not the solution. Identify them so they can be put in prison where they belong. These criminals DO NOT REPRESENT the victims #GEORGEFLOYD #ERICGARNER #TAMIRRICE and many others, and certainly their #COWARDNESS and #CRIMINALITY has nothing to do with our struggle for the respect of our #HUMANRIGHTS, as #PEOPLEOFAFRICANDESCENT.
