George Floyd Part 3 - by Moses

      Was George Floyd a martyr for the cause of the 'Black' man?

  Truth be told that in the Hebrew Faith a man that dies unjustly could in fact be considered a martyr.  Is it realistic to perceive his death to be of martyrdom?  This is the question that is before America today in the case of George Floyd.  This reocurrence of events being conducted on the 'Black' man is the reality within the history of America.  First it was slavery in the inception of America in 1776.  Then it was the segregation act within the Southern States until 1964 (even after Lincoln freed the slaves from the South).  Along the way we saw the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Stephen Bantu Biko (in South Africa), and George Floyd among others.

  Is martyrdom going to be applied in this case?  To the family of George Floyd this is a hard concept to endure.  He was murdered by the police point blank plain and simple.  To a higher order this is taking an argument to the masses.  Jesus Christ would probably say 'To each their own' on this issue.  We each need to do a reality check to analyse this issue.  The fact of the matter is that most of the time it is a 'Black' man that receives abuse by the authorities in the name of excessive force and police brutality (conducted by the police force).  For this practice to stop maybe we do need to analyse George Floyd as the last straw to avert a Civil War in America.  Malcolm X was very specific when he said 'By Whatever Means'.  This has meaning to Muslim Communities across America today.  When will the carnage stop? and when will America accept the 'Black' man as an equal?
