Mr. George Floyd walked into a store and tried to buy a product from a store. He used cash to pay for the transaction. In the purchase process, it became clear that the currency he was using was counterfeit money. A white male police officer Derek Michael Chauvin attended the call, and the police officer had Mr. George Floyd under his knee. Mr. Floyd informed the police officer that he could not breathe. However, the police officer did not listen to Mr. Floyd. Subsequently, Mr. Floyd died in the hands of a white male police officer.
The question that comes to mind, how did Derek Michael Chauvin learn to become a racist person? The answer is obvious; he learned to be racist the way his parents taught him. Plus, when he attended school, he learned how to be racist.
Mr. Floyd’s incident with Mr. Derek Michael Chauvin brought many tears to the wounded eyes of victims of racism here in the USA and Canada. Now, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Brenda Lucki admitted for the systemic racism in its organization. Kindly look at the picture. There are all-white individuals in the background of the picture. The police force in the RCMP does not represent demographic in Canada. Even the police force begins to hire, marginalized individuals, the marginalized individuals, must accept and transform themselves into police culture. The police culture is about command and control, and it is about authority tells you what to do. Thus, the police system will not be accepting marginalized individuals.
Calgary Police Service Chief Mark Neufeld also admitted that its force is using systemic racism. The question is, why is the system waiting this long to acknowledge for wrongdoing rather than fixing itself?
All in all, racism is practiced in Canada from a wide range of the spectrum. It is not just police services in Canada. Racism practiced at the academic institutes, workplaces, and every little corner in society.
