Black Lives Matter
The fightback that erupted in the usa after the murder of
George Floyd didn't just come from nowhere. There had been resistance before and
there had been many, many deaths before. One of these deaths was in 2012 when Trayvon Martin was killed, it was after the acquittal of his murderer that #BlackLivesMatter came into being.
The usa has never been the ‘land of the free’ or the democracy
it ever claimed to be; the usa is founded on slavery and genocide of First
Nation peoples. It is a settler colonial nation & a hyper-consumer
capitalist country based on super inequality and racism.
The fightback that erupted after the killing of George Floyd
is a response to the dehumanisation of people. It is a reaction to
the violence of capitalism.
