IS GEORGE FLOYD A HERO AND ROLE MODEL FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY?
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE BY A CONSERVATIVE BLACK WOMEN
While watching the soap opera like 2 week wake and funeral of George Floyd one would think he should be lifted up as a role model for black America. It has not been an exercise in encouraging excellence, but in encouraging victim hood. It will not likely result in an improvement in the black experience, but just further cement the stereotype of a community of victims whose future is determined by others rather than themselves.
I could write about what has transpired in the last several weeks as a replay of the last few years of using tragic incidents to instill guilt in white folks for the black experience in America. I am sure many would proclaim a white person has no right to criticize the black community. There are certain undeniable truths that are eternal, no matter ones race. It is that bad choices result in bad outcomes.
Candace Owens is a young, educated, black Conservative women, who is a figure of hope for the black community. She also give me a hope that better things are possible. She is likely to be castigated and persecuted for her honest view of this whole affair.
She can say it better than I ever could.
