USA CELEBRATES THE END OF RACISM

 

Finally, the last racist person ever has been arrested

(USA) -  This week the trial of Derek Chauvin concluded, finding the Minneapolis police officer guilty on all counts. The forty-five year-old was recorded kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for nine and a half minutes, killing him. Much has been made of the race of victims of police violence, inflaming reactions from the left and the right. People who do not understand how numbers work often point out that more white people are killed by the police every year, failing to acknowledge that only 13.4% of the country is black and, therefore, not commensurate with the statistics. However, with the conclusion of Chauvin's trial, social media exploded with posts about the bright future of a society without racial injustice.

"I am so happy with this. I feel like we can finally all come together now," tweeted AllytheAries.

"Excited for Floyd's family," posted Hadyn Chesterfield.

"RACIAL EQUALITY, FINALLY!!!" shouted YouTuber, JohnnyGorgeo$.

The Big Tobacco's analysis of these and other, similar quotes boils down to this, with regard to the identity of the posts' authors:

Say it out loud if you're having trouble. Slowly.


With remarks from Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (also seen here), celebrations took off around the country, marking the official end of racism within its borders. Despite the laundry list of systemic problems and denials of those problems, many (white) people are finding that it is just a wonderful thing to be finished with ever having to discuss the problems of racism ever again.
