The FBI is investigating the death of George Floyd, black man who was pinned on the neck by a police officer and later died in custody. Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests. While the officers involved have yet to be charged, Ellison argues a “quick arrest” might “make people feel better about justice” it is “important” for investigators to “take the time to make sure that these charges, if they are brought forward, stick.

    It is impossible for any Black person to be a racist. He or she may hate White people but to be a racist you would have to to be a member of that race which has historically imposed racism on othes, as the first qualification.

    Secondly, you will have to have the economic, political, social, military and legal power to systematize individual hatred as an organizing principle in society.

    And regardless to the simplistic definitions in your dictionary there were never any circumstances within the annals of history where Afrikan peoples have systematize the hatreds of another race.

    That is racism. And it is racism and colonialism from which people line Jonny and Freedom Crier owe their existences.

    Are White people who hate other White people racist? Or Afrikan people who hate other Afrikans racist?

    Therefore, logic demands that other factors outside personal likes and dislikes are the determinative ones.

    The nonsense about reverse racism was always a well sounding meme to deceive the uninitiated.

    Donna, fortunately you are wholly unqualified for that charaterization, we are afraid.

    It had to have been a strategic decision to make Antifa the masked face of Trump’s assault on Black and White opposition to his leadership.

    Here’s how I think it played out. Trump and his handlers could not see a path to his winning the presidency this year. Covid and its effects on the economy made certain that Trump would have to find some bold strategy to win in November. So they came up with Insurrection.

    Trump’ handling of the mainly peaceful protests would be designed to show him as a strong leader who would at all costs do everything needed to lead the country back to the overt racism and the whiteness of the pre-60’s America.

    The George Floyd incident arose totally by chance and is being taken advantage of strategically by Trump and his people. The extreme empathetic reaction by young whites to march in their numbers on behalf of fair treatment for Blacks was unexpected. But someone saw the opportunity to cast Antifa as the villians and that Trump could prevail upon and thereby solve all his problems. i.e. Get fence sitting whites on his side; exterminate Antifa; sideline the Black Lives Matter movement, and ride those successes to a victory in November.

    If they are successful You and Moneybrain and Lawson, and perhaps GP as well, will have a short time frame for celebrating your victory but it will be a pyrrhic one.

    “The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) first charged Roosevelt with being fascist less than two months after he took office.

    IF TRUMP WINS THE ELECTION, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE OK.

    IT WILL NOT AFFECT MY LIFE IN ANYWAY SINCE I DO NOT WORK AT, OR FOR TRUMP.

    TRUMP IS NOT MY LORD OR MASTER OR KING AS I SEEK TO MAKE CHRIST BOTH PRESIDENT AND RESIDENT IN MY LIFE.

    I HAVE NEVER ASKED OR GOT A POSITION OR ANYTHING FROM TRUMP, OK?
    SO I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

    IF TRUMP DOES NOT WIN THE ELECTION, ALL HELL WILL ALSO BREAK LOOSE OK.
    IT WILL NOT AFFECT MY LIFE IN ANYWAY SINCE I DO NOT DEPEND ON TRUMP FOR SOLACE OR COMFORT

    I DO NOT WORK AT, OR FOR TRUMP.

    IF TRUMP DOES NOT WIN THE ELECTION, AS LONG AS I AM NOT AFFECTED, I WILL ENJOY THE DUMBOCRATS RAPIDLY FINISH OFF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE USA STARTED UNDER THE BLACK LEADER, AND THE HASTENING OF THE RISE OF ANTICHRIST.

    THE USA MUST FALL FOR POWER TO BE RETURNED TO THE SPHERE OF EUROPE- THE SITE OF THE RESURGENT ROMAN EMPIRE AS CLEARLY TAUGHT IN DANIEL 2 & 7.

    Just trying to work out what is likely to happen if Trump loses the presidential election this year.

    I think Trump will not go calmly or lightly.

    I think his GOP and FatCat supporters will continue to follow him slavishly into continuing insurrection, with different parameters but with toxic and chaotic effects comparable to the pre-election chaos.

    I think that a post-Trump insurrection might be even more consequential as compared with what we are seeing at present.

    I think Biden and any GOP patriots out there should closely study what is happening now to try to get the US back on an even keel asap. The Congress and The Supreme Court should act with urgency as the portents seem poor.

    “Peter Wickham meanwhile, spoke more directly about a Barbadian society in which issues of police brutality and marginalization continue to affect those at the lower ends of the economic scale.

    “I think many people assume that because we are a black country where there is no black racial minority, that we don’t have those issues. But the fact is that we do have those issues and we have had them for many years. We seem to have dealt with them differently, but I think that this type of issue is an important demonstration of the fact that the issues are still alive and well in the world.

    Local authorities are being urged to use the ongoing protests in the United States of America as a reminder not to take the country’s marginalized communities for granted, especially amid the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19.

    Political scientists Dr Tennyson Joseph and Peter Wickham were reacting to the unfolding developments as millions of people in North America and across the globe observed #BlackoutTuesday on social media in solidarity with protesters. The action has been sparked by the death of African American George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police.

    Do you not tire of misleading people and misleading yourself? The head of government of a small nation anywhere in the world has no place intervening in the domestic affairs of other nations. Idealistically any nation, but reality is such that that only applies to we small fish. More than that the Venezuela episode is wholly different. That had to do with international geopolitical intrigue and maneuvering taking place in the region, with a consequential destabilising effect on us. Still nonetheless, Barbados continued to pursue its doctrine of principled neutrality, which all small nations ought to follow. So you sorry and sickening lady, go find some other issue to unmeritoriously attack government.

    Pacha you are 100% correct. We understand you to mean institutional, systemic racism. The kind practiced every day against blacks. The kind where race soldiers can kill in broad daylight and walk free. The kind where Blacks cannot get access to proper housing, jobs, bank loans. The kind where entire nations are enslaved and empoverished.
    The kind of racism that is endorsed and enforced by the state. Nowhere on the planet do Blacks engage in this. Simply calling someone “cracker” or “coolie” though inconsiderate can not cause the kind of widespread, generational suffering and destruction that White Supremacy does.

    @Pachamama

    The ability to institutionalize or sytematize racism is not the sole determinant of whether one can be racist. There are many typologies of racism and institutional/sytematic is but one. Discrimination is also a separate typology. However, simply holding prejudiced beliefs on the basis of race is just as racialist. So your insistence upon institutionalisation introduces an element of narrowness to the discussion which is in essence squirreling.

    Regardless, what say you about Article 27(b) of the Liberian Constitution conferring citizenship only on “Negroes” or persons of “Negro descent”. Wuhloss dat dere sound like discrimination institutionalised in law on the basis of race.

    I am not denying that in the Modern Era, blacks have disproportionately and despicably suffered racism in all its various typologies. That is evident for all to see. However, comments such as yours do not help, but in fact, hinder race relations, as it does the same thing you accuse others of: pedestalise one race over another.

    Good point at 9:59 am!

    But I think that Trump has shown that it doesn’t take a genius to be a President. It just takes someone who has enough good sense to choose bright, experienced, forward looking, honest executives to carry out agreed sensible strategies. Trump failed, not because he is an unempathetic, venal, selfish, uncaring, untruthful, rich man with a history of buying and bulldozing himself out of every adverse situation (… and the devil take the hindmost…) but because he would not accept nor stick with good advice and wrongly considered that only he had the sense necessary to lead the country.

    Biden can lead well if he appoints good people to serve and does not consistently overrule their good advice.

    Minneapolis Police Use Force Against Black People at 7 Times the Rate of Whites

    Video of George Floyd’s last conscious moments horrified the nation, spurring protests that have led to curfews and National Guard interventions in many large cities.

    But for the black community in Minneapolis — where Mr. Floyd died after an officer pressed a knee into his neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds — seeing the police use some measure of force is disturbingly common.

    About 20 percent of Minneapolis’s population of 430,000 is black. But when the police get physical — with kicks, neck holds, punches, shoves, takedowns, Mace, Tasers or other forms of muscle — nearly 60 percent of the time the person subject to that force is black. And that is according to the city’s own figures.
    Community leaders say the frequency with which the police use force against black residents helps explain a fury in the city that goes beyond Mr. Floyd’s death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide.

    Since 2015, the Minneapolis police have documented using force about 11,500 times. For at least 6,650 acts of force, the subject of that force was black.

    By comparison, the police have used force about 2,750 times against white people, who make up about 60 percent of the population.
    All of that means that the police in Minneapolis used force against black people at a rate at least seven times that of white people during the past five years.

    Those figures reflect the total number of acts of force used by the Minneapolis police since 2015. So if an officer slapped, punched and body-pinned one person during the same scuffle, that may be counted as three separate acts of force. There have been about 5,000 total episodes since 2015 in which the police used at least one act of force on someone.
    The disparities in the use of force in Minneapolis parallel large racial gaps in vital measures in the city, like income, education and unemployment, said David Schultz, a professor at Hamline University in St. Paul who has studied local police tactics for two decades.

    “It just mirrors the disparities of so many other things in which Minneapolis comes in very badly,” Mr. Schultz said.

    When he taught a course years ago on potential liability officers face in the line of duty, Mr. Schultz said, he would describe Minneapolis as “a living laboratory on everything you shouldn’t do when it comes to police use of force.”

    Mr. Schultz credits the current police chief, Medaria Arradondo, for seeking improvements but said that in a lot of respects the department still operates like it did decades ago.

    “We have a pattern that goes back at least a generation,” Mr. Schultz said.

    The protests in Minneapolis have also been fueled by memories of several black men killed by police officers who either never faced charges or were acquitted. They include Jamar Clark, 24, shot in Minneapolis in 2015 after, prosecutors said, he tried to grab an officer’s gun; Thurman Blevins, 31, shot in Minneapolis in 2018 as he yelled, “Please don’t shoot me,” while he ran through an alley;
    and Philando Castile, 32, whose girlfriend live-streamed the aftermath of his 2016 shooting in a Minneapolis suburb.

    The officer seen in the video pressing a knee into Mr. Floyd’s neck, Derek Chauvin, was fired from the force and charged with manslaughter and third-degree murder. Minneapolis police officials did not respond to questions about the type of force he used.

    The city’s use-of-force policy covers chokeholds, which apply direct pressure to the front of the neck, but those are considered deadly force to be used only in the most extreme circumstances. Neck restraints are also part of the policy, but those are explicitly defined only as putting direct pressure on the side of the neck — and not the trachea.

    “Unconscious neck restraints,” in which an officer is trying to render someone unconscious, have been used 44 times in the past five years — 27 of those on black people.

    For years, experts say, many police departments around the country have sought to move away from neck restraints and chokeholds that might constrict the airway as being just too risky.
    Dave Bicking, a former member of the Minneapolis civilian police review authority, said the tactic used on Mr. Floyd was not a neck restraint under city policy because it resulted in pressure to the front of Mr. Floyd’s neck.

    If anything, he said, it was an unlawful type of body-weight pin, a category that is the most frequently deployed type of force in the city: Since 2015, body-weight pinning has been used about 2,200 times against black people, more than twice the number of times it was used against whites.
    Mr. Bicking, a board member of Communities United Against Police Brutality, a Minnesota-based group, said that since 2012 more than 2,600 civilian complaints have been filed against Minneapolis police officers.

    Other investigations have led to some officers’ being terminated or disciplined — like Mohamed Noor, the officer who killed an Australian woman in 2017 and was later fired and convicted of third-degree murder.

    But, Mr. Bicking said, in only a dozen cases involving 15 officers has any discipline resulted from a civilian complaint alleging misconduct. The worst punishment, he said, was 40 hours of unpaid suspension.

    “That’s a week’s unpaid vacation,” said Mr. Bicking, who contends that the city has abjectly failed to discipline wayward officers, which he said contributed to last week’s tragedy. He noted that the former officer now charged with Mr. Floyd’s murder had faced at least 17 complaints.

    “If discipline had been consistent and appropriate, Derek Chauvin would have either been a much better officer, or would have been off the force,” he said. “If discipline had been done the way it should be done, there is virtually no chance George Floyd would be dead now.”

    Oh dear! When you resort to the hater defence then I know you ent got nutten!

    A person tells a few truths and she becomes a hater.

    Johnny ma boy, I have no need to hate you or yours because my family long before I was born got out from under the thumb of those of your ilk. And I mean ALL sides of my family. I don’t know how but we have had many many lots of land for as long as I can remember. One grandfather sold much of it cheaply to relatives and gave large plots to each of his children,. Right now my mother sits on land belonging to her mother and vacant adjacent plots belonging to her first cousin. And I sit myself on a plot inherited from my parents through my grandmother that can easily hold four large houses. Next to me are two large vacant lots belonging to my cousins. Next to one of those plots my brother owns a large plot inherited from my aunt through my great grandmother . A stone’s throw away are my first cousin on a large lot inherited from his father, through my grandfather and three other families of cousins who purchased from my grandfather. And a stone’s throw away is another vacant lot where my grandfather used to live. I don’t even know which cousin that now belongs to because I don’t care. My father lives on another large lot with his wife and my brother a smaller one. And we are ALL more than adequately housed. No slave huts for sure!

    And we are not working in your stores, or your hotels or even your offices..

    So you see, I have never felt the sting of oppression from any white Bajan even those who steal our taxes.

    We may not be in your financial league by a long, long way and we may not own one single plantation but none of the relatives I have even known had to clean your damn toilets. And if any of my ancestors ever did, they did not do so for NOTHING, not in the long run.

    And we have managed to distribute our property among family members without court cases, and attempted homicide.

    I have no hatred, Johnny ma Boy, just pity for those who want too much!

    Absolutely… A reelected POTUS Trump can not last four more years in Washington without uppending the world… thus whether by 25 amendment , Senate putsch or otherwise I too interpret any such election victory will be short lived.

    I have one disagreement where you suggest that “The extreme empathetic reaction by young whites to march in their numbers on behalf of fair treatment for Blacks was unexpected. “

    Many Whites – progressive liberals – have always shown an empathy to the racial issues and now to the Black Lives Matter cause and have marched in recent years (apart from their historical efforts) … Also the POTUS team are aware that lots of white folks supported Obama and still do, so there will be that group of folks who will always oppose the crass actions of this POTUS and many will put on their marching shoes.

    How would you refer to Idi Amin’s expulsion of Asians from Uganda? Or the intended deportation of Diffa Arabs from Niger? Or Genocide Watch declaring a stage 5 emergency level crisis with respect to violence against whites in Zimbabwe?

    You would have to be some sort of advanced stage nincompoop to deny that in the Modern Era particularly, blacks have suffered racism disproportionately. But acknowledging a rather simple truth that any person has the ability to be racially prejudiced and that any person can use the levers of the state to give institutional effect to that prejudice, does not diminish the fact that it happens per capita to blacks more than anyone else. Equally saying that one group of people are incapable of being racist does nothing to help race relations.

    By that warped logic, Jews are equally incapable of racism, as the group suffering perhaps the worst oppression on the basis of race stretching back at least to 38CE in Alexandria. I don’t think many would support that view either. So why can Jews be racist but not blacks?

    When Freedom was Growing up Racism meant that two Different Races getting Different Treatment was Racism because the Treatment was based on the Race of the person and we were all taught Not to Do that. Nevertheless, in this “New Age” when Racism is Relatively Minor as one person being treated Different to another person based on their Race, New Definitions must be Invented to Keep the Race Narrative going Strong. Therefore, we Even have those on this Blog Trying to say that “RACISM IS WHAT I SAY RACISM IS!”

    People are different, No one thinks the same way and we can All believe Different things. Cycle-cell effects Negro People Predominately, so because it singles out Negros Predominately and not White people, maybe we should Prosecute by Law the Disease called Cycle-cell and Conversely White people get more Skin Cancer than people of other Races. Therefore, we should Prosecute by law, the Sun, for being so Racist towards White people.

    This is Serious Business, the War that is being Fought is being Fought for the Minds of the People. Using an Incident that the man has been Charged with Murder. But this Rioting is Nothing to do with Mr.Floyd. It has Everything to do with the Prize and that Prize is America…Burn it Down, Destroy it and we will Remake it in the Form of Communism but we will Not call it Communism. We will use Nice Sounding words to fool the People…it’s about Social Justice, Economic Justice, Radical Racial Justice…Every man Should be Equal in Everything Except the Globalist and the Super Rich. They will Speak of Utopia but Deliver Misery, they will Continue to Speak of Utopia but Deliver Death. We Only have to Look at our Neighbour and see what happens. Freedom does not care if Billy Boy G has more money than me, but I care if he tells me how to live my life. If I own three cents, it is mine, let me do with it what I please, it is mine.

    Because we have Crazies in America does not mean we have to import Crazies into Barbados. Whither you are Black or White, Wrong is Still Wrong. Do Not Try to change what is wrong to Right by changing the Definition of the Word.

    The Adversary is Only Concerned with this World cause he Cannot get to Heaven…So Although Lazarus was a Poor man, he was in the Bosom of Abraham and the Rich man was in the Bosom of the Adversary.

    We are all Different, we all make Mistakes, we All need to Change to be better. Every Leaf on a Mango Tree is Different. Every Human Being is Different. Racism is a State of mind Black or White. God is not a Respecter of Persons or Race. He asked us to be what we are supposed to be, not what we are Brow beaten to believe we are.

    There is no Freedom in China, there is No Freedom in Cuba, there is No Freedom in Venezuela, there is Still some Freedom in America but the Anarchist want to Crush it.

    Those who Accuse others of Racism are those who are Usually Guilty of Racism themselves but in order to Appear Sanctimonious must to Change the Definition of Racism to Appear Spotless themselves!

    @Khaleel Kothdiwala June 3, 2020 10:09 AM “The head of government of a small nation anywhere in the world has no place intervening in the domestic affairs of other nations.”

    The Barbados government expressing horror ar the treatment of George Floyd is not interfering in the affairs in the United States.

    It is simply expressing horror at a gross human rights violation. The United States government needs to know that the Barbados government is not complicit in the abuse of human beings

    If the Barbados government says nothing, then the U.S. government believes that Barbados is indifferent or even approves. of human rights violations.

    I can assure you that right now at the yellow building on the hill there is a political officer writing to the U.S. State department that the Barbados government has said nothing.

    The Barbados government must write a diplomatic note to the U.S. Embassy at Wildey expressing the horror of the government and people of Barbados at what was done to George.

    When the U.S. government was looking for friends to support its invasion of Iraq, did not Billie Miller our then Minister of Foreign Affairs not express Barbados’ disagreement with what the U.S. government was up to?

    When wrong is being done, we all have to express our disagreement with wrong doing.

    The wrong doers need to be called out.

    Good question how we give Jews a pass and condemn Blacks. Then again they are Gods chosen people.

    You are misleading yourself. The war in Iraq was an instance of international geopolitical maneuvering which as we have seen had far-reaching political and particularly economic impact on the whole world.

    Waging war on another nation (a volatile one at that in a volatile and economically important region) is quite distinct from the present issue.

    The government of Barbados is under no obligation to officially comment although they might decide to as time passes. And what the GoB does unofficially in diplomatic confidence will not be known to either you or me until another Snowden comes along.

    “KK we have previously read your contributions and have otherwise determined that you know too little about too much.”

    i keep telling Koochie Koo..he knows too little for me to engage him in politics, but he should ask himself why other countries have CONDEMNED publicly the structured racism practiced against the African descended in the US…and they had every right to because under the UN 30 Articles of Human Rights the practice of institutional racism is a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS….

    the UN just came out and asked US to be more vigilant regarding racism…

    only 2 reasons Mia cannot open her big mouth at US telling them that the practice violates human rights is because she KNOWS that both DBLP have allowed the practice of both APARTHEID and racism against the majority population on the island to enrich themselves and a tiny bunch of slimy minorities…ad she also knows that EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS TOO…..so she cant exactly go pointing fingers at US when it’s well known that is what’s been happening on the island for the last 60 years pre and post emancipation…..the other reason is, well she lives in a big ass glass house and one only needs to throw a pebble at it and everything will crash down…

    Koochie Koo knows very little, they just wind him up with information he does not even know is mostly lies and set him loose on BU to make an ass of himself..

    Dinesh Joseph D’Souza is an Indian-born American author, filmmaker, and conspiracy theorist, who is widely known as a far right political provocateur…From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King’s College, a Christian school in New York City until he resigned after an alleged adultery scandal…In 2014, D’Souza pleaded guilty in federal court to one felony charge of using a “straw donor” to make an illegal campaign contribution to a 2012 United States Senate campaign. He was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years’ probation, and a $30,000 fine. D’Souza’s films and commentary have generated considerable controversy due to their promotion of conspiracy theories and falsehoods, as well as for their incendiary nature.

    Minneapolis Police Use Force Against Black People at 7 Times the Rate of Whites

    ++++++++++++++++++++++

    Let’s try this again and see if it posts.

    Police kill more Whites than Blacks, Hispanics, or any other ethnicity in the US.

    So far for as of 30 March 2020, Police have shot and killed 31 Blacks, 13 Hispanics and 42 whites.

    So in essence Kootchie Koo does not even know unless told that ALL COUNTRIES should be speaking out against institutionalized racism wherever it is being practiced against Black populations simply because those 30 Articles of UN Human Rights were RATIFIED since 1948….and since then many countries including Barbados have POINTEDLY IGNORED THEM….with both black governments ALSO allowing the practice of apartheid which many countries cannot stomach and which neither black government has had any problem with no matter how repulsive….

    Chicago is another Democrat controlled hellhole.

    Two options for residents, vote out the Democrats or leave and go to Republican controlled safer areas.

    Politics & Voting in Chicago, Illinois
    The Political Climate in Chicago, IL is Strongly liberal.
    Cook County, IL is Moderately liberal. In Cook County, IL 73.9% of the people voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 20.8% voted Republican, and the remaining 5.3% voted Independent.
    Cook county voted Democratic in the previous five Presidential elections.
    In the last Presidential election, Cook county remained overwhelmingly Democratic, 73.9% to 20.8%

    George Floyd’s killing touches a nerve with Africans who know police brutality at home and abroad

    When a high ranking official condemns state brutality against citizens in an interaction between African countries and the United States, Africa is typically on the receiving end.

    This week, the tide turned as the African Union (AU) issued a strongly worded statement condemning the killing of George Floyd, the African American killed by Minneapolis police officers. The AU Commission chairperson’s statement also extended to the “rejection of the continuing discriminatory practices against black citizens” as well as a request for the US to “ensure the total elimination of all forms of discrimination based on race or ethnic origin.”

    Millions of Indians flocked to download a tool that removes Chinese apps

    The message from the AU carried even more potency as it was echoed by statements from US embassies or ambassadors in Congo, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania all condemning the killing. While the condemnations by these embassies are striking and somewhat defer from the core of president Trump’s public statements, it’s a necessary measure if they are to retain legitimacy while engaging local authorities on human rights issues.
