@Mr_Detective You are correct, every person has the ability to choose their level of involvement and understanding of the situation, but this is no longer an issue of red versus blue. This is an issue of humanity. It is the responsibility of every person, regardless of national boundaries, to support the oppressed. It is frankly demeaning for those who witness this protest as a political issue and dismiss it as so to also stand complacent, content with the idea that whatever country they may be in has no responsibility, and that is is not a European or Asian issue.
This idea of political intrusion, I argue, is unreasonable. I understand you believe it to be senseless to be reminded of this issue but I argue it is of utmost urgency. Oppressed men and women are not ever able to forget that they are oppressed. Overwhelming support is a powerful tool, and continued education and showcase of protests will only promote justice. As established beforehand, direct action does not create such tension and anger. I must ask, why would one be agitated by the strength of Black Lives Matter? Why would one be angered by repeated calls for change and action? Why would one be infuriated by the color black?
I understand the sudden facade that such people and corporations take is displeasing, but regardless, there is no reason not to support it, even if powered by social media and brownie points, the support for these protests only strengthens the movement.
It is important to remember that the police are partaking in violent actions in response to the promotion of black welfare. I must admit, the support from the white population is remarkable but you have seen the actions of the police against those protesting COVID-19 restrictions. Armed and well-equipped protestors stood guard with firearms and did not face tear gas and rubber bullets. There is a clear and obvious hatred for the support of black success and freedom. This disparity does not threaten just the United States, but stands on the forefront of every nation in the world.
I agree, America is on its way to great improvement but I argue that its biggest roadblock is not only just inaction but quietness. Those who are not willing to say anything at all. The world will never truly make reach its goals until every person stands beside one another to accomplish them. It is a given that some will be angered by black empowerment and protest, but it is far more bewildering to see shallow acceptance rather than to see outright rejection and hatred. I am not asking for everyone to speak out and message about the protests, but I wish to encourage those who are neutral to take a stance, and to educate themselves and others, and learn about the subject, so that we may end this cycle of despair.
I hope for every person, regardless of nationality or race to unite against human suffering and injustice. I only hope that some may see this, not as an "American issue" but as a human issue. Not as a an issue of politics but as an issue of human rights and suffering.
