The double pepper racism comes from the 1% , these people hide their actions and are protected by the lick bottoms.
How many times have these people been caught out and have to issue an apology to rightful citizens.

And like I said I don't fully agree with looting, but at some point when you realize how much the system is against you, then you'd understandably rebel.
Imagine in Trinidad if there was zero chance a black person from Morvant or Lavantille would be able to go to a prestige school, if there little to no URP or cepep for them, if governments defunded social programs etc . If any illness's they get it was medical bills up their ass, if for some magical reason they got educated, their chance of getting a job was still hard because you black and from the ghetto. And then you have police constantly in the area roughing you to up and jailing you for minor offenses when a child of Sabga or even middle class Ramesh, wouldn't get haressed or arrested for the same thing.
America doesn't like blacks, they designed a system post slavery to keep them down.
Of course some will beat the system, they key is to move out of the ghetto. But then it doesn't change that most white ppl will see you as an uneducated dangerous brute.
That is the ONLY reason why I emphatize with their looting, they are fed up.
This isn't about these police and Floyd anymore, it's about systemic racism in the US.
And those blacks who made it out and will talk down to the others are the lick bottom types, white people 'love' them and they too stupid to realise they're being used.

Chauvin s history has painted him in poor light.
Floyd gets a Bligh?
Equality cuts both ways.
Chauvin's history... that is his tendency to use excessive force when carrying his duties... can be used to underline the reason/motive behind the murder... floyd's history... that is his drug use and actions in adult entertainment can be used to underline the reasons/motive behind his murder? As u can see from my comment those two do not work... as stated earlier unless their is a plausible reason for the killing of a man/woman like they being an immenent threat to the safety of others... their is no excuse for the killing of another human being... please keep in mind floyd was handcuffed when he was killed... how in God's green earth is a handcuffed man a threat to someone's safety? Floyd's history does not explain why he was killed
I stated earlier clearly that Chauvin can take a charge, and that will be decided.
I’m not advocating for Chauvin.
If Chauvins history shows a tendency....then Floyd’s does as well.
They have to be treated equally.
The court will look at what happened before the video...the totality of events that led to the death.
Solving this problem is to confront the reality beyond Floyd’s death and its individual circumstances.
That's why I said it's slight pepper in TT.Dohplaydat wrote:zoom rader wrote:^^^ Racism in TT is slight pepper , its more to do with Jobs and State funding ie Housing , Social assistance and a lil cuss out from time to time.

I'm not arguing some might be racists, there are tonnes of racist people in Trinidad, BUT does it affect poverty, education and job prospects? Not really. So yes, slight pepper.
Despite, the racists that do exist in Trini, you do have to give our people credit, aside from the obvious tribal voting, we get along perfectly fine.

Proportionally 30 per million..higher than everyone else.
In is vitally important to note that these numbers include valid shootings and wrongful shootings....
In 2018 55 Police officers were shot in the line of duty.
roughly 800,000 Police officers.
That equates to 68 Police deaths per Million

That data does not account for the first day of US slavery from 1617
the poorest 20% of Americans consume more goods and services than the national averages for all people in most affluent countries. This includes the majority of countries in the prestigious Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), including its European members. In other words, if the U.S. “poor” were a nation, it would be one of the world’s richest.

She got no idea, this has evolved past George Floyd's murder and police brutality, and his death was the trigger for a nations people that were suffering silently from racial as well as socio-economic tensions & discrimination among other long standing largely ignored societal ills plaguing that nation for centuries

Trinis stand for nothing except PNM ppl when they are told to protest against any non PNM goverment.
