Washington-Sana

“American racism has not changed and continues over time against us,” this video showed, including statements of four African Americans representing four different generations, during which they asserted that the history of American racism is repeating itself.

Participants in the video, according to the CNN website, which he published, expressed their dissatisfaction with the decades-old American racism against blacks, as demonstrations in the United States of America accelerated and expanded in protest against the assassination of George Floyd, an African American citizen by the American police, as the oldest saw that what happened As if from the sixties of the last century, while the youngest of them expressed concerns about his life.

One of the participants in the video said, “I live in the United States cautiously .. we still deserve a great opportunity to learn and love others and to be a person with a beating heart and a person breathing.” Another cited Sami Young of African descent who was killed in Selma, Alabama because he used an egg bath only where he was shot In cold blood without any reaction from the American authorities, saying, "There is nothing new in this incident ... and the new is the possibility that people see it in the video and you might think it was in 1965 as if we had just come out of apartheid."

The four participants expressed their aspirations to see America liberate from racism and transform the criminal justice system into a real justice system, noting that many are concerned about the riots in the protests, but this is the result of what happens when people are attacked and belittled continuously, but the important thing is that we must understand who stands Next to us in this war.

Demonstrations took place in dozens of American cities and even outside the United States against the police brutality and denouncing the murder of Floyd, who breathed his last after a white policeman kneeled on his neck for nine minutes in the city of Minneapolis, and an official autopsy concluded that death was a death caused by suffocation.
