100 Questions After the Killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor: The Chicago Tragedy

AUTHOR Thalheim, Peter
PUBLISHER Fulton Books (06/17/2024)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

These 100 Questions grew out of an assignment to me by the president of the Stamford, Connecticut, chapter of the NAACP, within one month of the killing of George Floyd, an African-American man on May 25, 2020, on "how can white ppl help [end] systemic racism?" My answer was: "Easily. It takes more than two pages however." Here is my presentation to "white ppl" to help end systemic racism/statism, the hurdles, burdens and barriers put in the way of the citizen to get an education, get a job, start a business, put a roof over their head, put food on the plate of their children and pursue happiness as they see fit.

The Chicago Tragedy is shorthand for our nation's silence on the daily violent death of young black men, boys and bystanders countrywide. For example, in 2016 there were 762 murders reported in Chicago alone, which worked out to more than 2 people killed per day, which fell most heavily on young black men, boys and bystanders!
