Don’t Ignore The Spider... The death of George Floyd occurred at a time when the world was standing still. Covid-19 had pushed paused on any aspect of our lives and we had little distractions that would keep us from seeing something that happens all too often. We never have witnessed the slow, methodical murder of someone caught on video with no regard for the consequences. His death, although it hasn’t been the only one, stood out in the minds of everyone who stomached and watched that 8:46 video. Again, this is not the first time things of this caliber have happened and neither is it the first time it has been caught on video. The reason that this has sparked protest around the world has been because there was no other noise to drown out the cry of this man calling for his mother who, I’m told, had been dead for two years at the time of his death. Emotions are beyond raw and a conversation has to be had. “Systematic Racism” has been a trending topic on most social media posts, internet talk shows, broadcast television, and satellite programming. It has dominated the news and be the subject of many blogs, newspaper editorials, and round table discussions. But one of the most profound post I saw read:
Talking About The System And Not Talking About Its Maker Is Like Talking About The Web And... Ignoring The Spider!
