What's The Government Really Up To?
Mr. George Floyd’s death was definitely a tragic death. This world has had a right to react to it, but I do not believe they have reacted the proper way. I feel like this has come so much further than justice for Mr. Floyd. Their’s peaceful protests, riots, looting, and burning down companies. Even burning down a business of an innocent man, just because they thought the business was owned by a white man. The business was actually owned by a black man that started off in the ghetto and man something of himself. This is more than justice for Mr. Floyd, I believe this is more than Black lives matter protests now. I feel like people are terrified of the fact that we do indeed have some dirty cops in our law enforcement all over the world, but we always have. I am not against law enforcement one bit, I support them and I have trust in them.

Racism, political and moral questions. Discrimination which feeds racial discontent. This is a difficult subject to write about, to find the correct words, since so many people appear to be willing to misinterpret what ever is written, into meanings that the writer did not intend.

Systemic Racism vs Residual Race Dynamics
Everyone knows that there is systemic racism against blacks in America. Except, that may not actually be the case. While racism does exist, and racism needs to be addressed, such racism is expressed by individuals, not the system. Instead, what first appears to be systemic racism is actually residual race dynamics. These two phenomena are extremely different, and how we deal with these two problems is just as dissimilar.

Protests Against Racism Take Place In America
Protests have erupted across the world, sparked by the death of George Floyd, a fourty six year old black man who died when Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed face down in the street.Two other officers further restrained Floyd and a fourth officer prevented onlookers from intervening: During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse. No attempt was made to resuscitate Mr Floyd who had Chauvin's knee on his neck for several minutes. Floyd had been arrested for passing a counterfeit bill at a nearby market. Eye witnesses captured evidence of the attack and this has been widely circulated on social media and broadcast news.

Purposeful Utilization of Tools
Each tool can be used for both intrinsically good and evil reasons. While some tools are built with specific intentions, of good or evil, while other tools are built out of the spirit of innovation, all tools can serve both good and evil purposes. What determines how a tool gets used? Generally, that is determined by the end-user of the tool itself and their intentions.
