Much like Covid-19, it appears that police brutality is something that certain sectors of society have just “got to live with.” What is that, if not a reflection of institutionalised inequity? To say that having to wear a mask outside, struggling to breathe is an oppression seems tone-deaf. The true oppression is when a sector of society has to live through the same instances, hearing the same cries, the same pleas — to no avail. Repeating the same realities with different tragedies. One would think that after a country has had a minority president, these issues will subside.
Lots of people are also taking issue with the fact that a fellow minority was involved in the incident. It almost sounds as if the words are: If a fellow minority is involved, there is no problem, “it’s simply another day on the job.” This is simply an instance of brushing an issue under the carpet, convoluting an issue by trivializing it.
The simple act of renting a place to live is so mired with prejudice, so who am I to discuss this? I attempted to rent a place once, let’s just say it was a fruitless endeavour. No need to guess why. Does that mean we should not raise our voices against brutality?
