This is all you needed to say. It sums up everything and defines who you are. Rather than behave like a petulant child, make an effort to educate yourself.

It is my personal opinion that if you perceive what is going on as the result of Mr. Floyd’s death, that and that alone, you have missed the mark. It is for: Life. Liberty. The Pursuit of Happiness. As a black person in America.
If you truly want to understand, you have to acknowledge AND accept slavery for what it truly was. The only reason that America is GREAT is because it was built on the backs of slaves. But for slaves, whites would have never had the opportunities they had. Whites stole OVER 400 hundred years from a race, and many walk around oblivious to what this has done to America. To Black America.
Many whites try to empathize with black people, but most of them lack the capacity. Not for lack of effort, but whites will never be subjected to the life of a black person. Blacks and whites are not equal. This country was designed to ensure black people remained in an oppressive state. From the constitution to local ordinances, the law is systematically designed to prohibit the growth of black Americans. You will never understand the what’s, how’s and why’s, because you are not black.
Now, what does all this mean and how does this impact present day? What you are witnessing is the hurt and anger black people have desperately tried to avoid. What happens when black people peacefully protest? You lose your job and you get called a SOB. You accept being a token and the white guy gets promoted. You assert your right against a warrantless search, void of probable cause, and die in police custody.
How long must black people continue to subject themselves to systematic racism? Accept socio-economic oppression? Be devalued to worthless of life, simply because of the color of their skin?
Ignorant individuals believe black people accept black on black crime. Ignorant individuals believe criminal acts against police and innocent civilians at the hands of a black person is acceptable in the black community. Ignorant individuals believe black people are a monolith. We are not.
I applaud those who are making an effort to understand. However, you continue to focus on inconsequential and irrelevant variables. Statistics are semantics at this point. A life is a life notwithstanding who takes it. A young black kid walking to school gets caught in crossfire and killed by another black person, does not chance the value of his life if it were a white, green, pink or blue officer that pulled the trigger.
Historically and categorically the very existence of a black person has been dehumanized and devalued.
Simply put, Black Americans want to have what ALL Americans are afforded- Life. Liberty. The Pursuit of Happiness.

re: Principle told my wife to prepare to teach from home next school year

This is absolutely being considered from universities on down. Several universities are in discussions on delaying start dates or only offering online courses. There are several models being discussed for K-12 programs. It would be less than wise to not prepare for the possibility that students will not return. It’s safe to say, school as you have known it will no longer be.
