Buchanan, Larry, et al. ā€œBlack Lives Matter May Be the Largest Movement in U.S. History.ā€ The New York Times, The New York Times, 3 July 2020, www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/03/us/george-floyd-protests-crowd-size.html. 

All over America there were many protests in 2021 for BLM. The cause was for the mistreatment the black community faced by police officers. Many racial profiles them before knowing them. Normally people see them as gangsters or just have a negative point of view. The wealthier younger generation have seen this and have also been involved with the protests. People have supported BLM for the cause of George Floyd. There was so much controversy, but it does not justify what the officers did. Many saw this and chose to speak up.  

I agree with the author as many people have spoken up in 2 years and people have taken precautions. Those with authority had to take many precautions when facing people. The treatment George Floyd faced was something nobody expected. Many have supported this movement and have changed the view of many. The question I had was those that do terrible things may say they were mistreated. What could be prevented for those situations from arising? Something to understand better is to know why and what is the cause of these problems. There are so many things like money or the community. The author had written this for people to join this movement and for people to know about BLM. The document shows me that many people were compelled to join the movement, and many supported it.  

ReflectionĀ 

I agree with this text because many people are afraid of doing any activity outside as there might be a chance of getting attacked. For many movements such as BLM, Stop Asian Hate, and the new movement of Palestine there is tension among other people. They are afraid of what they could do when things happen outside the country of America. The life of freedom may be just a folk tale nowadays. I do not understand the motive of the attack. When other viruses came out no other people were getting attacked or being mocked. The people attack anyone that fits in the Asian stereotype. I would search for other movements and see the positives and the negatives as there have been so many times there was chaos in the world.
