As America becomes a glorified Twitter biography with the Biden administration authorizing Black Lives Matter flags to be flown at US embassies, other countries want to signal the moral upstanding too.
The occasion that politicians are exploiting is the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death. It's being presented as if the summer of race riots last year across the United States ought to be celebrated. Although seeing as how Nancy Pelosi literally thanked George Floyd for dying immediately following the all-guilty Chauvin verdict, this doesn't come as a surprise.
At George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, some in attendance chose to celebrate Floyd with a salute of gunfire. Earlier on last year, people treated George Floyd Square as a holy site where some were even baptized.
Over in Canada today, the former substitute drama teacher Justin Trudeau made a speech about anti-black racism. Canada's Prime Minister said the death of George Floyd, an American, was a reminder that there's "injustice" in Canada as well.
Certainly, the Prime Minister has evolved his preference on how to embody the African lifestyle. This as Trudeau's past scandals include several pictures of himself wearing blackface.
In his speech, Trudeau boasted about how establishing the Black Entrepreneurship Program and removing "ineffective" mandatory minimum sentences from the Criminal Code make Canada a beacon of liberal progress:
"Our government is working with Black communities across the country to make sure nobody is left behind. We will continue to take real action to fight systemic racism and create more opportunities for Black Canadians, and for everyone."
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh thought Trudeau didn't politically posture himself enough to the cause of Black Lives Matter, even though the Canadian Prime Minister literally kneeled in submission to them.
"The material conditions for Indigenous, or Black, or racialized people has not changed. Their experiences when it comes to the police has not changed. A year later, after that horrible incident spurred so much positive action and activism, demanding for justice, demanding that this end, Justin Trudeau failed to do that. And I want to note that, that that is wrong," Singh said.
