My opinion on this depressing topic is that I am disgusted about the way that black people have been treated in the US constantly for hundreds of years. There was a lot of popularity around George Floyd, a man who’s death was tragic and heart breaking. Black people in this country have been blamed and accused of crimes they have not committed. Black people are constantly being mistreated, just because of their skin. Everybody deserves equality, and not only when it’s a “trend” either. My contention is that while violence may seem like the answer, it most likely isn’t and won’t cause much change besides giving a bad name to the BLM peaceful protests. Personally, I believe that protesting the safe way is how it should be done, as it will prevent injuries and news reports make the peaceful protests look like the riots. BLM is not a terrorist group, and they are not looking to destroy and loot things.
