Mainstream Western media outlets are becoming increasingly ideological. They are firmly sticking to their own values and resolute in blocking different points of views.
Floyd's death has fanned the flames of fierce protests against racial discrimination, but the movements cannot budge the current US government.
Helping the very basic level of independent entrepreneurs among minority communities should frankly be a no-brainer for a city that claims to be the most diverse and tolerant in the world – and built by immigrants.
The West needs to be honest about Black Lives Matter protests and let those from minority racial backgrounds competitively take managerial positions – from global institutions to big corporations to governmental organizations.
The younger people today who toppled Edward Colston's statue may barely remember it. It is more likely that this event, along with the fall of the Berlin Wall, are simply historical footnotes that are learned in school lessons.
The old America of racial inequality and capitalist exploitation at home and imperialist aggression abroad has come to a tipping point.
Is a color revolution taking place in the US?
If the racial conflict in the US cannot be resolved, similar riots may occur again in the future.
Efforts for reaching a peaceful solution have barely been made, yet, Trump and Cotton have blatantly put their chips – sending troops to quell protests – on the table.
African Americans, as well as other minorities who suffer inequality, won't see their agony end if they are stuck choosing either group of politicians.
But what other option do they have?
President Trump is urging state governors to be tough and senators are pushing for the use of the US military. Is this the real face of "the beacon of world democracy?" Where are the human rights? Where is their respect for life?
Perhaps it would be wiser for US authorities to safeguard the rights of those protesters in America who are demanding nothing short of the "American Dream" of justice and equality for all. Democracy, real democracy, should start at home.
The current anti-China sentiment is closely related to the pressure of the coming presidential election and the economic difficulties caused by the pandemic.
Sadly, the US politicians, who are good at inciting trouble in other countries, are not good at fixing their own problems. Fire and fury are still spreading in the US.
The US presidential election is held once every four years, while the poor actually have no choice.
Riots that undermine the rule of law will cause more pain to society. Violence is never a good solution to any problem in any place. I want to emphasize that the US has less and less capital to play a "double standard" game right now. It is unable to mess up China. It would be a wise choice for it to reconsider how to protect itself first.
In 2016, Trump won the popular support from the low- and middle-class white people who felt they were reversely discriminated under the Obama era. Trump himself is a racist president, as Democrats call him. The latest protests may just lead to ever stronger white supremacy.
The ongoing chaos in the US will not lead to due reflection, but will bring the practices of verbal assault and buck-passing to a new height. No matter what happens, the US will always believe its political system is the best.
The hypocritical US political elites have given full play to double standards, and they have confused themselves. They are good at calculating benefits, but they are more and more confused about common sense and public feelings. They believe they can manipulate everything in the world. Then just let them mess around. Washington will pay more and more costs.
