The bitter truth is that hardly a day passes by, and in the United States of America people with black skin are killed for nothing but because they are black, without any reason, and with impunity in most cases.
This is what African-American writer Kevin Cockley sees, confirming in an article for The Hill newspaper that "there is no longer in this country a place where black law-abusers can feel safe."
And for those of you who believe in this segment that they are safe inside their homes, Cockley tells them to "think again".
As evidence of what he went to, the writer tells stories from separate parts of America in which African Americans were killed in cold blood in their homes for no reason, just as it happened to George Floyd, who was killed by a policeman after he strangled him with his knee, which led to a wave of protests Many American cities are still being ravaged.
He cites the story of the nurse, Reno Taylor, 26, who just two months ago received eight bullets from Louisville police, after they stormed her apartment without warning, and without a warrant for her arrest.
Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was killed by Fort Worth police inside her home because one of her neighbors called them and told them that the front door of her apartment was open.
The same fate was awaiting Potam Jean, who was killed by a Dallas police officer outside of work hours, after this policeman mistakenly entered Jean's apartment.
"Some people may think that the killing of five unarmed black people by police officers during the past 19 months - although tragic - does not represent a certain trend, but what these people do not realize is that every killing of an unarmed black person appears to be A personal attack on your humanity, so you start to imagine the unthinkable, that this might happen to you or someone you love.
The writer tried to explain some of the reasons for this targeting of blacks, saying, "Blacks do not have a margin of error in behavior, we must be exemplary and not make any mistakes, because every mistake we make can become a justification for shooting at us, and even if we reach a degree of perfection, this will not be enough." To make us feel safe not to target us. "
And he added, "The death penalty cannot be by lookout for every person who engages in suspected illegal or" suspicious "behavior, and in fact, blacks are not allowed to be just human beings."
He added that it has become clear that many people in this country no longer have a "black death" moving in them, as the stories of dead black people have become very many.
The writer believes that this matter cannot continue, and conveys in this context what the famous American basketball player Michael Jordan said in a memorial address to Floyd, where he stressed that such things can no longer be tolerated, saying "Enough is enough enough."
