such as London and Paris, two metropoles with their own long register of bigoted nastiness. Protests took place in distant Australia which also has its tainted history regarding the death-treatment of its dark-skinned people. Add to this the irony of those nations that America regularly harangues turning the tables by lecturing America on its racial brutality. Even, the Pontiff at the Vatican joined the admonitory frolic.
Life is uncertain and death is a mystery. Floyd was surely conscious of the racial parameters of his society. Yet, as with most of us, he had attained a rough compromise with the racial imbalance. The man was not trying to upend the world on the day of his death. He was merely a decent man trying to live a decent life and etch out a bit of fun and happiness in the decadent and hateful world that had been given him. If he had his druthers, he would still be alive today.
Only after the political pressure and publicity born of the protests became so strong did the prosecutor buckle. At that point, his career was on the line. The officers were downgraded to dispensable pawns. Even heroes have to be sacrificed to protect the system.
For over ten days, protests have been the daily fare. President Trump has mishandled this situation with his usual blunt, unapologetic bigotry. Trump’s performance has been somewhat disappointing. Not that he would have acted in an enlightened way. But that he would have been more innovative and modern in how he manifested his hatred toward blacks. Instead, he clumsily reenacted a script from the 1960s-70.
Those claiming that Trump’s threat to use military force is an abhorrent departure from presidential tradition are also either ignorant or lying. Bush the Elder did so in 1992. It was done during the Nixon and Johnson years. Thus, Trump’s antics and threats to use military force to disperse protesters are not deviations from American norms. He is squarely within the American racial tradition. All the experts and political commentators who now claim he is an outlier are either unlearned in their nation’s history or hope the people are.
Trump already was stumbling due to COVID-19. Now he has lost control almost entirely. Trump dare not show sympathy for Floyd less his base turn against him. Instead, he is limited to telling people to forget Floyd because the economy is recovering from COVID. If that does resonate, he then threatens fire and brimstone toward those who insist on protesting. Events have succeeded in revealing Trump to be an empty figure.
