Oh no? Politics? In MY manga? Not being able to turn a blind eye to people dying unjustly at the hands of others that were supposed to protect them? Not being able to ignore the fact that people are protesting in order to raise awareness that its still happening and rioting because local law enforcement escalates what always starts out as a peaceful protest? How awful!

But for real tho, thanks as always for the translation

lmfao why are weebs so averse of taking the most mild of political stances? i hope everyone who complained about that little snippet of text grows up one day and realizes just how fortunate they are for having the option of ignoring and 'escaping' from these kinds of conversations.

BLM stands for Black Lives Matter, an american protest movement against police brutality. George Floyd, a black man, had the cops called on him out of suspicion he was passing a counterfeit bill. 4 cops came and one of them kneeled on his neck for 9 minutes(a solid 2 after he was unconscious) while the other 3 basically watched. Floyd said many times that he could not breathe, was in clear distress, and called out for his mother at one point. This was videotaped from multiple angles and bystanders were pleading with the police to get off his neck, but they didn't budge.

George died. This immediately ignited protests all over the country, from Minneapolis, the city where Floyd lived, to Seattle and NYC and almost every city in the country. While the cop that knelt on Floyd's neck has been arrested and charged, it took days of protest and the other 3 have no cases pending against them.

Cities all over America are embroiled in protest and police action, and if you know anything about american police, well, you know that's... trouble. See: https://streamable.com/u2jzoo. No one is happy with the rioting and looting that has been occurring, but the heavy handed police response is scary and the entire reason these protests are happening is because someone was murdered in the street by a cop.

It's a very big moment in america, as we've been hit hard by covid and have nearly 30% unemployment so people are very upset to start with. No one knows where all this will go, but I hope that it will eventually lead to a more responsible and accountable police force. Protests like this have happened in the past and in other countries, and sometimes they've led to positive things. It can be hard to see that future now, but its still a possibility.

The same people complaining about Police Brutality can always follow Marcus Garvey(none of you complaining know about this man) and leave to Africa even though Garvey himself ended up spending his last days in his London home. Take that as you will.

One small correction BLM was started in Canada by Three lesbians. It is not organic.
