Welcome to MJVAFRICA.......George Bush Speaks On George Floyd Death : Says It's Time Americans Listen To The Protesters opera.com Jun 3, 2020 11:50 AM Former U.S. President George W. Bush has spoken on the death of George Floyd and the current protests rocking the United Bush spoke on Tuesday where he condemned the brutal killing of the African American man, saying he and his wife were disturbed by the injustice and fear that suffocate the U.S.. This is Bush's first statement on the incident since it occurred on the 25th of May, he explained his reluctance for not speaking out earlier saying “this is not the time to lecture. It’s the time to listen.” The ex-president then went on to blast those who target and brutalize young black men, while also praising peaceful protesters who are seeking for social justice. “It remains a shocking failure that many African Americans, especially young African American men, are harassed and threatened in their own country. It is a strength when protesters, protected by irresponsible, lawforcement, march for a better future,” Bush said. He asserted that the only way to end “systemic racism” was to “listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving.” He praised America heroes such as Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. for leading the fight against slavery and oppression. Bush went on to ask Americans that they pay attention to the protesters and listen to their concerns instead of ignoring them. The ex - president's message is quite different from current president Trump, who has called for force to be used on the protesters. “Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America — or how it becomes a better place,” Bush added.

RitaTina·3h 4 Reply Trump did not condemn the protester the bad guys among them took advantage of it. let us say the truth of this matter. they are good protesters that protest peacefully while bad ones start looting shops and destroy properties alongside. this church the set ablaze does it commit crime or does personal shops commit crime. why not head to Senate house, government house, house of rep, and security offices to destroy them. why looting your fellow human being, does government set the business for them or does security office give them money to open business. this is individual owner's business like me and you. how do you feel when the owners of the shop heard the shock news the protesters looted his her shops, how did you think they will feel. what if the owners of those looting shops slump with shock new how does it sound to loose another soul. I know why you Americans are less concerned of this shops looting because all the businesses and shops, mall belong to strangers. mostly African that is why every body is against Trump. Trump did not support their looting stuff is a stealing. +27-79028****·8h 6 Reply your sins are forgiven Sir...The truth sets you free..
