‘Cascading failures of the state’: COVID-19 impacts on health, food security amplifying George Floyd protests

People visit a memorial at the site where George Floyd was killed on June 3, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"I think on some level the protests that we're seeing right now are a statement of the cascading failures of the state to take care of a broad swath of its citizens," said Adriane Lentz-Smith, associate professor and associate chair in Duke's department of history. Protesters like Arianna Evans, a 23-year-old Air Force veteran in Washington, DC, have echoed that idea, saying that their demands around George Floyd’s death are also part of a need for black people to be treated equally in society.

Volunteers organize cans of food available at a memorial for George Floyd on June 3, 2020, in Minneapolis.

BLACK LIVES MATTER is narrative media issue deflecting nonsense. Justice disencumber of prejudice MATTERS. HONESTY AND INTEGRITY MATTERS. Do black people respect and love black people? Are black people non-prejudicial against other black people?

Anyone can have good credit if you make good decisions with your money! This notion that only white people can be successful is a joke.

Anyone can get an education! ANYONE! In fact there are over 30 Grant's specifically for black people. Not including the ones everyone else can get including blacks. You can literally be paid to better your life. Stop looking up to rappers and athletes

Even the strongest democracy is only three missed meals away from revolution. Eat the rich.

“Economic Inequality” is a farce. You earn the perceived value of your labor.

US Army bringing Democracy Home.

Human rights is a must every where. Not a tool to marginalize countries US do not like. Charity must start at home

So putting 2 and 2 together; the Bush Clinton, Obama and multinational corporate sellout to China exacerbated this economic inequality 10 fold but lets re-elect the same clowns who got us here. Science!

Oh and by the way, female Hollywood actors get paid half or less of male actors’ pay. Anyone focused on righting that wrong? Meryl Streep perhaps, since you virtue signal your focus on women’s equality in Hollywood. Or was that just lip service to promote your movie that year.

In an Extreme Republican society and capitalism crashes, the rich get poorer but the poor die.

How do you expect a mess to clean up a mess ? YOU DON'T.

Democrats have run cities & states for decades & have presided over the destruction of the black middle class while enriching themselves & families. What have they done except deflect blame?

Propaganda

Liar liar pants on fire. Your studies dont mean anything either , they were probably funded by Gates like American heart associations was.

In the words of Tupac, I'd rather move forward than continually look backwards. 'I'm seein' nothin' but my dreams comin' true While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview.' Yeah, I like rap, so?

Umm, you need jobs to get people working of all races. Your large companies who now push BS black screens with white writing have moved jobs overseas or hire illegal labor. This takes away from Amercians of all races from working a devalues their earning capability.

Especially since the 1960s! That is when Democrats promised to close the gap and provide equal opportunity. Now they are rushing ballots, keeping businesses closed and denying us Church.

Instead, more than one-third of all Black children in the United States under the age of 18 live with unmarried mothers—compared to 6.5 percent of White children.

statistics show the percentage of White children under 18 who live with both parents almost doubles that of Black children, according to the data. While 74.3% of all White children below the age of 18 live with both parents, only 38.7% of African-American minors can say the same.

George Floyd’s Covid-19 Diagnosis Is a Reminder That Racist Systems Informed and Ended His LifeIn the days since George Floyd’s murder, details released from pathologists have helped provide a fuller context for his death. Initially, a state-sponsored autopsy was inconclusive, attributing blame of Floyd’s death to underlying health issues, while an independent autopsy found otherwise. Now, Dr. Andrew M. Baker, Chief Medical Examiner of Hennepin County, has concluded his full autopsy of George Floyd providing another detail: Floyd tested positive for Covid-19. Your article is a tad misleading. Can you clarify? George Floyd's death was conclusively ruled a homicide in the latest report from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
