Furthermore,they may think that they are better because  they may think that their race is better than the african americans and that they were specially gifted to be like this and that african americans shouldn't be with the rights that they have today.The "white" americans also may feel that if before the african americans were their slaves and had nothing and they were not menat to do anything except be the slaves of the 'white' americans and suddenly they have so many rights and they can do everything and have equal rights to the 'white' americans so they may feel angry because they feel like they are superior and how suddenly have these people who were previously barely allowed to do anything freely,are now doing stuff that we do or even better things and are even taking places of power in running the country.The 'white' americans will also not be happy with the fact that african americans are actually running in places of power which can enforce new laws concerning them but they think that they are superior so they only get angry and then as see with George Floyd,this happens. Basically, to summarize this,'white' americans think they are superior to african americans because they have a right of power and this is their country so the african americans must respect whatever they do.]]> 2020-06-07 07:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614804450 Sakeena's Thought sattas225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614812603 I think that white americans think that they're superior over african-americans because of their long history of them being 'above' the african-americans. I think that they are suddenly astonished that considering all the history with their relationship, they're just suddenly allowed and stand on the same supposed 'level' as them. If you think about the slave trade, which was centuries ago, the white americans were always the one hiring the slaves - not the slaves themselves. Maybe racism still happened because the white americans are not ready to accept the fact that all races are equal. Also, it is not just slavery, it is also about the fact that it was seen before that the lighter skinned you are, the more beautiful and successful you will be in life. I think that these people are not ready to accept the fact that no matter what race or ethnicity you are, it shouldn't affect the ways you be treated. Whether it be helping someone out or it be a crime. White americans basically think that thery're superior over the african-americans because the U.S is 'their' country and they do not want them to have the freedom to do what they want.]]> 2020-06-07 07:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614812603 Haris' Second thought shahzmh225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614820878 The image shows a picture of George Floyd who was killed by a 'white' police officer and the image is signifying the rights of 'black american' and that white americans do not have any superiority.He was practically choked to death and the writing 'I can breathe now makes me feel pity for him and a bit of distress on why did he kill him when he has no rights and I know that Mr Floyd may have committed a crime but to kill him is just over the limit and I cannot feel anymore for his family and the grief that they must be feeling right now.The image is also stating that black people have the same amount of equality as white people.The black lives matter movement is an international movement that states that black people or African Americans have the same right with everyone and should be treated the same. The protests of the killing of George Floyd showcased the movement and people all around the world are calling for this and that white people have no superiority of black people and that they should not be allowed to commit any sort of atrocity to any other person just because of their race and that black people have equal rights with white people. Another thing is that white people shouldn't be able to get away with crimes that if a black person did then it would be took so severely but if it was a white person they would be some kind of excuse which is definitely not allowed.   ]]> 2020-06-07 07:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614820878 Sakeena' s Second Thought sattas225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614826221 The picture shows an illustration of George Floyd. George Floyd was an african american and was killed by a white american policeman. The image is trying to display the equality between the 2 races. He was originally being arrested for buying cigarettes with a fake $20 bill. He went from getting into a police car, to being choked by a policeman on the road. The worst part is that he even told the policeman that he was having difficulty breathing, but the policeman did not lift his knee. This was how he was killed. The Black Lives Matter movement is a huge movement going across the world - but especially the U.S - showing and stating the fact that there is still racism going on in the 21st century against people of a different colour, and it needs to be stopped. This is just one on a string of murders of african american people by the police force. These 'crimes' that those people had commited, if a white american were to do them, they would probably be in and out of the police station within a couple hours. This just shows the inequality between white and african americans - and it needs to change.]]> 2020-06-07 07:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614826221 Naeem's Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614837122 In my opinoin, I think white americans think that they are superior than African Americans, because in the 16th century, the white americans would take the africans, and bring them all the way to America as slaves, therefore American Africans feel uncomfortable to be near the white americans. They also said that African people were destined to be slaves, and their race and beliefs were not as good as theirs. The white americans also feel that because they are lighter skinned, they feel they are superior and have more rights than the African Americans. They also do not like the fact of African Americans taking over important roles as they feel they do not have the right to do so and so they may feel angry because they feel like they are higher ranked and  suddenly have these people who were barely allowed to do anything, are now doing stuff that they never even dreamt of, and are even taking places of power in running the country.]]> 2020-06-07 07:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614837122 Alex's Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614851856 I believe that racism has continued through to modern day because of the advantage it gave one side over the other. I think  it's easier for some people to believe that they are superior; it's harder for these people to feel that they are equal to others that they were taught and grew to hate. I also think that because racism was so prominent during the slave trade and because it was normalised for so long, parents taught it to their children who taught it to theirs and the cycle continued. ]]> 2020-06-07 07:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614851856 Haris' Third Thought shahzmh225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614877442 It depends on the scale of how much I cared about it,normally I would try to find the most peaceful and easy way past it without any difficulties but if it was something that mattered to me very much then I would start peaceful protests and make sure anyone older than me who has social media speaks out but I wouldn't start looting or do anything like that but rather just participate in a march maybe or the maximum I would get to if i was full of increased anger I would go to the streets and rally people in protest but I will not break any laws regarding my own health and safety. Again in summary I am not the person that wants to go all out violence but instead spread my message through media and marches.]]> 2020-06-07 08:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614877442 Cloe's Thought wannac225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614879797 I think white Americans think that they are superior because of their long history with African Americans being their slaves, and that the thought of african americans who once worked for them as slaves are now on the same rank or level of them seems wrong to the white americans. They believe because of the African Americans' past they cannot possibly be as superior or of higher class like them. White americans who believe they are superior  look to the african americans like they are dirt on new shoes, with a look of disgust on their faces, and think that they are above the african americans and will not treat them as those who share the same colour as themselves]]> 2020-06-07 08:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614879797 Haris' Final Thought shahzmh225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614890908 I think it all depends on the scale of the tragedy so if someone didn't obey the law and got away with something like George Zimmerman then people are going to be like why should we obey the law and then the police or national guard will have to hold them back or they are usually peaceful protests when police are not involved and violent protests when police are involved.There are usually peaceful protests when the people are allowed to do the protests without interference but usually when people disagree and clashes take place then violent protests begin.It depends if people are not happy with something then they may go to the streets but if they favor someone or other people are being treated unequally and the people get very angry then violent protests begin because the people are so angry that they forget about law and order and start doing whatever they want as noted on the death of George Floyd because a white police officer has no right to kill anyone and being different racial skins everybody with same racial skin as the deceased will be very angry and go and rebel.Peaceful protests are normally well organised prior to the date and everything usually goes to plan with more people and the police are already informed and let them do it but violent protests are not organised and it suddenly becomes 'every man for your selves' and do whatever you want as there is no place for law and order. These are all my thought regarding these different topics.]]> 2020-06-07 08:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614890908 Abdalrahman's Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614904370 This image shows a memorial of George Floyd and this image really illustrates perfectly how dumb some white police officers are which sounds racist but when you look at the board behind George Floyd, You see the names of black people that died at the very limited mercy of white police officers who believe they are superior to the ones they show no mercy to.]]> 2020-06-07 08:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614904370 Arwa's Thought elzama225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614905714 I think White people think they are more superior than African American people because of the disgusting history between African Americans and White people. White people have always made it appear that they are and always will be more superior than black people. They also might think they are superior because during the slave trade white people forced black people to listen to them and obey their orders. And the black people had nothing else to do but listen. And because the black people listened the white people thought that black people will listen to them and they will be their slaves. ]]> 2020-06-07 08:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614905714 Alex's 2nd Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614907736 The image shows a picture of George Floyd with the names of other black people who were killed by the police. Some of the names behind him are, Walter Scott, Breonna Taylor and Eric Garner. The 'I can breathe now' written below him is an allegory for the fact that he is free from his pain now and no longer has to suffer. In general, the protests are largely used to mask things like the lootings which sets a bad overall name for the protesters. This goes the same for the police; due to the appaling actions of a minority of them, they have all been labled as racists and terrible people. It makes me feel like most of this is pointless and everyone should just find a way to truce. That's not going to happen, of course but it would be nice it would. The BLM movement, on paper, is a great idea; with protests having worked for similar issues before such as womens rights and the pride movement, it makes sense that people would go to this. However, the two cases I stated predominatly fought with peaceful prostests. The movements were both for huge causes and resulted in changes that would help their cause. If you look at the protests being used for BLM there are many more violent protests when issues of equal degree were resolved with much less fighting. The Black Lives Matter movement is protesting against things like police brutality and racism; it is also protesting for equality between different races.]]> 2020-06-07 08:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614907736 Marwa's Thoughts azzi_m_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614909442 I think that white Americans will always think they are in some way better than African Americans because of the black peoples past and how their ancestors were treated because of their race and skin color. This racism is connected to the slave trade because if black people were treated equally during the slave trade they wouldstill be treated equally today. ]]> 2020-06-07 08:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614909442 Abdalrahman's 2nd Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614910571 DISCLAIMER: It is hard to word this so don't criticize anything too detail-specific. I think the black lives matter movement (The movement protesting against brutality or racism against black people) is a loss. I think everything about the situation is a loss for both ends. The protests have left many people injured, left worse impressions of police and overall everything is just worse. I would obviously prefer if none of this happened but although i believe protests is a loss, it is still the best case scenario after what happened to George Floyd. Overall the whole situation is just extremely saddening and really makes you not understand just how racist, unreasonable and just plain dumb some people are.]]> 2020-06-07 08:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614910571 Arwas' Second Thought elzama225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614916472 The image shows a picture of a 46 year old black man named George Floyd who was killed by a police officer named Derek Chauvin.

The police choked him to death, even though he shouted "I can't breath". This is extremely wrong for the police to do such a thing and so that is why there are so many protests going on. This has not happened once, but there are many cases of police treating black people terribly, and they just get away with it.

Though this was along time ago, this prejudice has been passed along generations till today, where many whites believe that they are the chosen ones. This results in now Afro-americans being paid 35% less, as well as not having the same social facilities, such as educational institutions, as well as medical healthcare centres. It also means that they don't get the same opportunities as others, for example, Barack Obama was the 44th president and also the FIRST AFRO AMERICAN TO BECOME ONE. It shows that we needed to be in the 21ST CENTURY to accept we are all equal. By this we can infer that people of colour are not as politically famous as others. One of the major factors of racism in the modern day world is ignorance and lack of education. Many white Americans are not aware of Afro-Americans' inhumane past. To change this, we will first need to change the American School System and curriculum. Schools should HAVE to teach about the slave trade and how Afro-Americans had a huge positive impact on how America is today.]]> 2020-06-07 09:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614962167 Adhu's Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614966527 I think that White people are prejudice that they are superior than African Americans, purely because of the image portrayed by the treatment of black people during the period of the Mid-Atlantic Slave trade. White people during this time abused black people, beat them, took everything away from them, demoralised them and put them down with derogatory terms.

It all starts in the Atlantic Slave trade, when black Africans were sold to Americans by African leaders, the slaves were taken by force and sold later to American citizens. This created a racist ideology, since all the slaves were black, Americans always would think about slaves if they see a black man.
Later, as Christians ideas of equality, they needed a justification to be allowed to enslave Africans, so they said that Africans are biologically inferior and were destined to be slaves, which is not true, since skin colour is not supposed to affect someone's rights.
This ideology is not as common as before, but it is still existing, and has caused many problems round the world.]]> 2020-06-07 09:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614979384 Alan's Final thought fayz_a_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614983141 there are peaceful and violent protests because there are different types of mindsets these people have.some resort to violence and others resort to reasoning and communication. these people are split up and thats why all the peaceful protests happen in the day since there is a lot of good energy there and violent protests happen at night when it is really moody.l]]> 2020-06-07 09:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614983141 Alan's third thought fayz_a_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614986030 I do not think we should protest because, yes public voices matter and we should all get to speak, BUT having these protests just cause chaos for everyone. its really messy and at the end of the day no one will really get to say what they think about. they think they are helping but when streets are flooding with rioters are they really helping?

People protest because they know they can make a difference by acting together. One thing that makes these peaceful protests violent is the fact that protestors start becoming emotional. By becoming emotional, protestors start forgetting the AIM of the gathering. To raise awareness. Instead, there starts to become a negative impact. For example many lives were lost because of the protest. If the protest stayed with a cause these consequences could have been avoided. Keeping the cause merely means basing what YOU stand for from facts and evidence. A violent protest is normally less beneficial than a peaceful protest. Violent protests normally occur when there is no impact from the peaceful protests.]]> 2020-06-07 10:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614986836 Mariam's Final Thought https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/614988040 There are peaceful protests (but just NOT in the USA) because they want the police to listen and to reason with them.

White people are stereotyped to be superior due to the strife and the inequality between the races. Although this was many years ago, it definitely impacted the mentality on-wards, as today people are still aware of the story of the Atlantic slave-trade. It was also mentioned long ago that Africans had DNA that made them 'destined to be slaves', and although there is absolutely no evidence of this, some may still believe it, as of how many Africans were stolen and sold to work as a slave, though they have done nothing wrong. Today, with the influence of many activists, racism still lingers, however it isn't nearly as bad as it was during the Atlantic slave trade. I think that 'Whites', even if they don't mean to, are somewhat aware of how they used to have power and control over the Africans, and how much it has affected them, making it hard for them to look at Africans to be equal. And I think many Africans are aware of how much their kind suffered with slavery many years ago, which makes it hard for them to look at Americans and Europeans to be equal.]]> 2020-06-07 10:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/615002049 Orla's Thought meeha_o_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/615033114 I think that white American's think they are better that African Americans because during the slave trade the African's were taken to America to be slaves where they became African Americans. Ever since then the white Americans think they are better because of the past and how the African's worked for them.

This way of thinking may have been heavily promoted in the U.S during the time of the Atlantic slave trade and then repeated by the parents to their children as an attempt to justify their ancestors' actions.

Black people were known for having a "filthy" skin colour and the people with white skin where pure. Most of the African countries weren't rich so the Americans had taken them to make them into slaves. White Americans used to believe (some still do) that African Americans are dangerous and they have no future and they were brought into this world to be slaves but if you think about why in modern society people are afraid of African Americans it always leads to them saying " Well they scare me because they are always in gangs" but if you go back in history about gangs they were always peaceful and gangs only existed to keep their people safe from the police.

Additionally, I believe that the white Americans believe that they brought the black Americans over and that they should not consider it their home or their homeland and should not have the same equal rights or opportunities despite what the American constitution says about the rights of every American. This statement directly correlates to slavery in Africa and how it effected how they are treated today.

The quote, "I can breathe now" is a direct reference to the way he was brutally killed and it is a shocking reminder of the event. The image in its colour and positivity it radiates makes me feel very hopeful that people may actually respond and understand this worthy cause. It makes you feel annoyed that this man was deprived of his life for such petty crimes whereas  a man of a different race would've supposedly been treated differently. This is what has made people so angry about this situation and why the Black Lives Matters movement exists, to raise awareness of inequalities.

Although, to see what the protests have caused is probably worsening the matter as people are burning buildings, breaking cars, and throwing homemade bombs around. To add to that, the coronavirus pandemic is also at its highest now in the United States and people are coming out after the curfews and completely disregarding all laws the government are placing on restrictions and protesting.

They think that a protest is an opportunity to cause violence which takes the focus off the matter at hand and puts it onto getting revenge. I think that protests are only constructive for any nation if they are calm, organised, and non-violent to put all emphasis on the matter and change people's views for the better. Articulating an issue with intelligent arguments and presenting evidence is more effective than breaking shop windows. For instance, a black American man's shop was set on fire, smashed, and looted to raise awareness for the matter of Floyds death. How does that promote the issue? This is precisely why I think that Violent protests are not effective and also quite frankly very damaging to property and people who are involved.

This is because of the slave trade, which happened from that late 15th to the mid 19th century. America needed more people to become servants or settlers to help with their new land, so they looked at Africa. Africa was a poor country in the first place, they didn't have much like the Americans. Back then, White Americans have always seen African Americans as a lower status than themselves, like they deserve the worst. They think that by the colour of their skin that they were destined to be slaves. Today, it has changed but not completely. Some people around the world still think that the White Americans are better than the African Americans, just because of the colour of their skin. Some police around the United States to this day, are still treating African Americans like their nothing and they deserve nothing. So this is why slavery has had a big impact on their ancestors, many didn't/don't have a good education, don't receive as much money as they deserve and don't live as good of a life than White Americans. ]]> 2020-06-08 06:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616157272 Carlos' thought salibc225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616328374 I think White Americans still think that they are more superior than African-Americans because of the slave trade.

White people began to think themselves superior when they outsmarted African tribes to give them their prisoners from other tribes. They viewed Africans as property and heavily mistreated them. Nowadays slavery might've been abolished but racism is still very apparent with the US. It is harder for a black person to find a job than a white person. A lot of the police are more patient with whites more than with blacks. If a white man had a gun and was threatening to murder someone, it is more likely that a policeman will try to console him. If a black man pulls a wallet out of his pocket it is likely for the police to shoot him without question. A lot of the racism towards black people comes with the image that white Americans have given them. They are no longer given an image that they are less superior like in the times of slavery. Or even in the times of MLK and Rosa Parks where laws where put against them such as the infamous bus seat law. Nowadays they are given an image of violence and criminality. When racists view African Americans, they have an image in their head of a dangerous neighbourhoods where you can die at any second. This is why police are more violent towards blacks. In my opinion racism originated with slavery, but overtime it was transformed into not a feeling of superiority, but a feeling of fear.]]> 2020-06-08 08:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616419260 ali al-mossawe https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616567612 slavery is when you take black people and use them in any way you wish(back then it was white people doing this). and the sad thing is even when slavery is over we still see black people as the "bad" or the "ugly ones". same goes to kids. if you google the doll test, kids will be asked which doll it better, bad or ugly. nealry all of them said that the white dolls where the prettyer ones(yes even some back kids called themselves ugly). and most cops see black people as an instant victam. slavery and racism relate so much because people today still make black people look bad and armed.]]> 2020-06-08 10:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616567612 Mohammads Thought azamm225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/616594280 I think the reason racism is a thing is because of slavery.

It's important to be brave and stand up for what you think is right, even if it doesn't necessarily relate to you. Even if you are unable to include yourself physically, you can always support a cause from behind the scenes, either its spreading the word to inspire others to help, or just hoping or praying it all goes right. Currently, the pandemic is still in place and increasing in great amounts.

It would be white people who would be the sailors and white people who were bidding for the 'slaves'. The sailors would severely neglect the black people and treat them like things and not people. They would mercilessly kill them as well. This slave trade was sort of the foundation for the racial hierarchy. So even to this day some white people believe they are still in power and more important than black people, this may have been the reason for the police officer to ignore Floyd's words.]]> 2020-06-09 06:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618198639 Black Lives Matter, Uzayr khan_u_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618207870 The image shows George Floyd who was murdered by a police officer and his death sparked many riots.

Even though slavery was abolished in the United States in the year 1865, it has unalterably influenced racism today. 
During the time of slavery, white-skinned westerners introduced the term 'race' to 'justify' the way they treated people from Africa. 
They said that it was legal to enslave African people because they had darker skin and thus they were 'biologically' inferior (even though there is NO evidence AT ALL supporting this statement).  
So even after the slave trade was outlawed, it was (and it still IS at times) nearly impossible for black people to attain an equal status in society with white people. 

Additionally, the African continent lost most of its population because of the slave trade (most of the slaves taken were men and that of course impacted the population too), and underpopulation inhibits countries' developments and it hinders innovations that help the country prosper and assert itself/make a name for itself in the global society. Furthermore, the African countries also suffered from foreign conquests (Western conquests) since the armies didn't have enough soldiers who would be able to defend their homeland. 
And when nearly an entire continent is submerged in poverty, unfortunately - people from other countries will not look up to it, instead, they will look down. ]]> 2020-06-09 06:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618229789 Peaceful And Violent Protests, Uzayr khan_u_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618239484 The reason there are violent protests is because people want to be heard and some people feel that peaceful protests aren't working.

So many lives have been lost at the hands of police officers - people who are supposed to PREVENT murder and other crimes from happening and not be the CAUSE of it!  Yes, I know that Mr. Floyd commited a few crimes, for which he served a sentence in prison. But to kill an unarmed man for using counterfeit money to buy something as petty as CIGARETTES is taking it WAY beyond the limit of moral standards. Such abominable cruelty should NOT be accepted. 
This mural has been created to commemorate George Floyd. From what I know about this man is that he was a good person, despite facing several arrests for theft and drug possession - he was described as a 'gentle giant' by his friends. I can only imagine how hard it must be for his friends and family right now. 
It makes my blood run cold to think that people can treat other human beings in such a despicable way. 
Mr. Floyd's arrest and death has provoked international 'Black Lives Matter' protests that address racial inequalities that are undeniably still evident in the present day. 'Black Lives Matter' is a global-scale human rights movement.  People that join the BLM movement campaign against violence and any form of racial discrimination towards black people - because yes, black lives DO matter. ALL lives matter.

Life has been like that for a very long time and the Slave Trade is just one example of it. Yes, it was never right for people to be treated different because of their skin colour and it still isn't, however, I think it's because of this long history of lighter skinned people having so much power in the world that some of today's white Americans feel like it's necessary or their right to be able to look down on African-Americans. ]]> 2020-06-09 07:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618328567 Carlos' third thought salibc225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618333777 I would definitely protest against something I care about and try to make a difference.

As you can see on the painting of George Floyd, his shirt  quotes, "I can breathe now". This shows the aimed equality of white people and people of colour as a vast reason why the protests started was because even after pleading for help saying, "I can't breath", the officer still wouldn't remove his knee from Floyd's neck. 
Personally, I support the movement they have started in America and I think this image and especially the painting is a really good representation of how most people want the world to change.

I believe that brute force during protesting only puts more innocent people in danger - if you act violently (vandalize buildings, commit arson, and hurl yourself at police cars, etc.) it indeed DOES draw attention to yourself but you will not be treated seriously. It is especially dangerous to start riots in times like this, during the Covid-19 pandemic, if people gather together in large groups, the virus will spread at rapid rates. But I believe that people should take action to do anything in their might to make their voices heard, but only if it does not harm others, of course. ]]> 2020-06-09 08:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618365872 karams thoughts ayoub_k_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618371528 people think that there skin color defines how superior they are or their status even though skin doesnt matter at all its all the same no matter the tone the shade or the look :)]]> 2020-06-09 08:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618371528 protests - iman :) imrani225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618373217 I would without a doubt protest in what I believe in if I was given the chance.

Yes, protests will always be a form of  disobedience, but these are 'civil' acts of defiance - if people do not disobey those in authority, then they won't make a difference. Through peaceful protesting, we can make a difference, while staying safe ourselves and not putting anyone else in danger. 
You can still make an impact without being aggressive and forceful. Some examples of peaceful protests that were effective are: 'The Salt March' led by Mahatma Gandhi, the 1913 'Suffrage Parade', Rosa Park's 'Montgomery Bus Boycott', the 'March on Washington' - Martin Luther King Jr.

But at times peaceful protests are not enough - people still don't listen even if the people protesting are making a valid point. That is when protests turn violent. People become desperate and they feel as if their message will be sent across if they engage in violent protests - more people will be aware of what is going on. While it IS true that violent protests draw more attention than peaceful marches, that does not mean that they are more effective. People protest because they believe that they can make a difference TOGETHER. That is why they SHOULD work together - as entire communities, global communities. But the only way to reach out to so many people is by putting the message forward. Through protests. But not protests that do more harm than they thwart (put a stop to). We need more PEACEFUL protests, but these protests need to be HUGE in order to make a difference.  Online interactions about injustice are more than just chatter - they lay the foundations for mass protests that will make an impact. Through the internet, the 'message' that needs to be sent out, will be broadcasted to the world. ]]> 2020-06-09 09:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618446648 Peaceful and Violent Protests-Abdul-Mujeeb leasu_a_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618454841 Violent protest occur when people know that they want to get there word across and they will most likely do anything to get there word across but on the other hand peaceful protests are more calm and nobody would usually get hurt so you or any one else are not putting there lives at risk.]]> 2020-06-09 09:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618454841 protest - zeina wigha_z_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618459324 I would to show how involved I am against un privileged black men and women.

Unfortunately, racism has been prevalent throughout U.S. history with white people often treating black people as inferior. I believe this would have started from the Atlantic Slave Trade were the U.S. captured Africans in exchange for giving the tribes rum, gold and guns. The slaves were considered un-educated and primitive and therefore not treated as humans and more as possessions who have to do hard labour or the owners commands. Any people who bought slaves in that time thought and believed in the idea of blacks being inferior and in their possession. This mind set was around for 300 years passed down each generation of white families owning slaves. It takes some very dedicated individuals and events to change a mind set that has been continued for so long. Since the time of Abraham Lincoln abolishing slavery in America and other important events like Martin Luther King JR. being murdered, legislative changes to the rights of black people and even up to present day events, the long instilled mind set has been slowly changing, hopefully these latest events will lead to true equality of African Americans in America and maybe even global No-Racism.]]> 2020-06-09 09:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618488265 Indi's Thought 2 frenc_i_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/618537989 Black Lives Matter is the movement of African Americans protesting for no more Racism and suffering without cause.

A Person With Light Skin Could Be Holding Something Sketchy And Be Completely Ignored But If A Person With Dark Skin Was Holding Just A General Shopping Bag, He Would Be Pulled Aside To Be Checked. Why? Why Can't People Just Treat Each Other The Same, Ignore The Differences, Ignore The Color.

When The African-Americans Were Taken Away To Become Slaves, They Were Treated Like They Were Nothing. Some People Might Say That Times Have Changed And That People Are Different, They're Not.

Because all they do is cause unnecessary trouble for everyone, and in the end, the thing that is being protested for hasn't really improved. Especially in this particular protest at this particular time, protests should definitely not be held due to corona. And people in the violent protests are being no different to the thing they are protesting about - violence from the police to black people. I believe there must be other more effective ways to solve our problems, more mature and efficient ways.

Many people believe by protesting violently and showing the government a piece of their mind will help, so they do so. They try their best to fight for the things they think are right. And the time and effort they dedicated into their beliefs are respectable. The peaceful protesters think differently to the other group, they are showing their thoughts and support through another way. Another reason is how much they care for this protest, the violent protesters are obviously more angry about the matter, but this does not mean the peaceful protesters care for it any less.

I think that white Americans think that they’re superior to African Americans because for so many years it’s been like this. Particularly for the slave trade (which occurred from the late 15th to the mid 19th century), many caucasians looked to Africa for labouring purposes, though they viewed them as criminals, debtors or prisoners of war from rival tribes (and let me guess: savages). They were treated WAY differently than the whites, not respecting or even thinking of human decency for them. The fact that they forcibly took more than 10 million Africans overseas is enough to dramatically change the economy for Africa, the future for them and it’s relationship with the whites as they thought they were superior from them just because of the colour of their skin 

To note: I am not saying that EVERY white person is racist, but sadly, there are still some that are

 The image above shows George Floyd, with eye-catching colours and names of black people who have been killed because of racism and police brutality, along with a sunflower, people putting their fist up in the air and a text that reads ‘I can breathe now’. The image makes me feel hopeful for the future, wishing that all (or at least most) racism and police brutality has stopped. Though I do feel saddened that the artist has to do this in the first place, after countless years of discrimination and prejudice on black people, this still is happening (especially after reading the text, which just makes makes me even more mournful). The black lives matter movement is an international human rights movement, originating from the African-American community, which campaigns against violence and systematic racism towards black people.

There are people who want to support a cause, but without causing any havoc or any strife. Those people are the people that make up peaceful protests. There are also people willing to be violent to those that wronged them to I believe 'threaten' a change. Those people create violent protests.  In the end, both are fighting for change. In the instance with George Floyd, I understand how people have used violence out of anger towards all who wronged society. Which I believe is for justice of those who suffered due to inequality in society. i also understand how some want to support a change peacefully, as consequences can occur, like being arrested for example.]]> 2020-06-10 08:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/620237295 Tilley White white_t_225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/620250682 Originally the black people in america were slaves, they were taken from their home countries, enslaved against their will, they had no rights and they were bought, they were owned, by the rich white people. To physically own another person is a horrible thing, it's wrong, to use someone for what you want. It's not right. The connections to George Floyd are that although the slaves were freed, some people didn't accept them into society and still looked at them differently.

Well it obviously has something to do with the past, slavery. Since the beginning of slavery africans were seen as dangerous people, from the americans perspective, who needed to be under control. If they weren't then it would be the downfall for america. They used africans, they killed africans, but they fought back even if they didn't always win. Nowadays since africans are in still in america they are still seen as a danger and slaves just like their ancestors. Sometimes people choose to cling onto things from the past instead of moving on from it and seeing how people have changed which is why I think americans don't see africans as equal to them.]]> 2020-06-10 12:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/620554560 Rawan's thought monawr225 https://padlet.com/panze_h_02/coet02ukrsfs2sz8/wish/620916276 Racism is raleted to slavery beause a long time ago white people claimed that black people were biologically inferior to them, so they took them in as slaves.

The main protests are peaceful because they are protesting for peace and the good of their people. There are two reasons for violent protests, people who are too passionate and forget what they're fighting for, and people who use the protests as an excuse to cause havoc. For example, in America there are people who are looting small stores 'in the name of George Floyd'. These people are taking a noble movement and twisting it into something more sinister. But not all major protests are like this. In the end of 2018 to mid 2019 there were protests in Sudan fighting the corruption of their government. All of the violence in these protests came from the government itself. After six months of peaceful protesting they were able to succeed in their goal. Some people say that violent protests are necessary to make the people's voice heard. Judging from my example that is not true at all.
