While the death of Gorge Floyd sparked outrage all over the United states it had also had a huge impact on the global community, even in areas such as the Netherlands where I personally didn’t think people would be racist toward blacks because of the absence of slavery form their history. I find it amazing that people think slavery was some time ago, when it wasn’t too far back, just like when the gentlemen on the podcast is talking about him knowing someone whose grandmother used to own a slave. In the United states we are in the same boat, in fact you don’t have to go too far back to see when and who owned slaves. I think that the reason so many people were able to connect with the BLM movement so much is the same reason young people all over the world where partying when the berlin wall was being demolished, the feeling is that while you may not know exactly what one culture and subculture is going through doesn’t mean that you can’t relate to it yourself… because sorrow is a feeling that all humans can feel for one another, just like when the artist painting gorge on a broken wall said that during the bombings the people crying out are our sons and daughters, husbands and wife’s, brothers and sisters, and just like how they yell in terror begging the almighty to save them… so did Gorge Folyd. And I guess in a way we are all trying to paint a broken wall of our own, some people may be trying to re imagine themselves in their gender identity or trying to obtain the same rights and respect as a man or maybe they’re just trying to get out of the decades ling poverty that they have been in like many young minorities have been trying to do for years.
