Racism has been a big issue for many years, and it still continues to rise today. George Floyd was murdered by police because he’s black. All because of his skin color an innocent citizen murdered. Police who we trust to protect and serve choose to kill. There’s a lot of white supremacy all over the USA. It happens in every state. Some whites fell blacks have less rights than we do. They feel they’re above and beyond. Well they’re wrong. People say “all lives matter” Black lives matter because they are the ones who majority of the time are murdered by white police. Protests all over have been occurring all over the USA and world in support of George Floyd. What happened to him, and many other black folks is inexcusable. I support peaceful protests. A lot of hateful racists aks Trump supporters show up at these protests and try to invoke violence. Yelling and screaming racial slurs and being physically violent. In Smithtown it happened at a peaceful protest. We wont tolerate hate. Black lives do matter. Protests will continue unless justice is served.
