Alveda King: As riots spread across US, heed words of my Uncle Martin Luther King to end violence and racism
Fox News ^ | May 31 2020 | Dr. Alveda King

As we see cities burning across America following the senseless killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Monday, there is a cry to heaven going up across America: Lord, please heal our land! It is a cry for unity, for social justice, for safety and for an end to hatred.

There is a unique opportunity for leaders of our families, our communities and our nation to open our stadiums, town halls, sanctuaries and social media streams and invite people to stop panicking and stop fighting and breathe.

George Floyd was robbed of his very God-given breath. The unarmed black man accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill was on the ground in handcuffs when white police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for about eight minutes, crushing the life out of him even as Floyd pleaded that he could not breathe.

This has nothing to do with race, racial justice, or protest.

This is about anarchy and anti-Americanism.

Telling these people they should protest peacefully is like telling a Nazi soldier in WWII he should turn the other cheek because he is a Christian.

They are not going to listen. This is going to escalate until it becomes a crisis for Trump. They are about to focus all the attention on Trump. Then they will blame Trump. It will be universal. CNN, the view, bluementhol from CT, al sharpton, they will all point their fingers at Trump and chant something like “Trump has blood on his hands” as they did about CV19.

More spreading of the lie.

The autopsy shows this is *not* what happened.

All based on a video which can be interpreted that way.

But videos can be deceptive, with many interpretations.

George Floyd was probably saying he could not breath, because his heart was giving out after years of abuse.

He almost certainly was in the process of a massive drug event.

But those things are hard to discern from a video.

How do you tell the difference from a police officer crushing the life out of an innocent man, and a police officer keeping control of a violent convicted felon, high on drugs, who just fought the police for several minutes, while being handcuffed?

You cannot easily tell the difference from watching an eight minute video without context.

It is going to take a long time for those truths to percolate through the layers of disinformation and hype by those who created this “crisis” to inflame, divide & weaken America,

Right? Haven't any of these people read the news over the last four decades?

1st black president (so happens the most corrupt)
Black Supreme Court justice
Black Generals
Black CEO’s
Thousands of black sports figures (millionaires)
Black music artist, film figures
Black government officials throughout the land.
Ever been to the DMV? Post Office? SS office?

These punks and anarchist are young brainwarshed idealists drumming slogans of social inequality when they've not done a single thing to build...just tear down.

Watching the looting on t.v. with my own lil ol eyes...I'm seeing an overwhelming majority of young blacks. Lots of whites/Hispanics as well, but probably 75-80% black.

How does this help their cause? They've set back their cause two decades.

All it will do is help President Trump get re-elected.

The ONLY mayor who has stepped up so far is Keisha Bottoms of Atlanta. The others are faintly saying in a soft little voice, no, stop, no, stop and letting it go on in the hopes it will somehow benefit them politically.

Exactly! Democrats have to stoke the fires of racism to keep the blacks on the plantation. That is what this is about, nothing more, nothing less.

Let’s remind the blacks why they need the Democrat party.

Eventually, the blacks will wake up and walk away.
