The deadly pandemic and the killing of George Floyd do not make America look so great — experts

Many things have gone wrong in the US since the day of its founding, but the mass slaughter of Native Americans and slavery are one of its most glaring sins.

“In major cities in the United States, for example in Chicago, African-Americans are less than a third of the population, but accounted for 70 percent of the deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Vamik Volkan, an emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia and a well-known expert on political psychology.

There is also an interesting fact about the personal circumstances of Floyd, tying his violent killing with the pandemic. During his arrest, Floyd was accused of paying a counterfeit 20 dollar-bill for a pack of cigarettes. It’s still not clear whether the accusation was true. But it could be worth asking whether an employed Floyd would have met the same fate that the unemployed version did on the evening of 25 May.

Volkan, an expert on political psychology, thinks about mainly two leadership styles — one is a constructive leadership like South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, who acted like a healer of wounds during serious political crisis, and another is a destructive leadership like Hitler in Germany, who deepened social divisions for his personal glory.
