PNN – CNN reported on America’s entry into a new era of racial reconciliation during Trump’s second term.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, CNN reported on America’s entry into a new era of racial reconciliation, coinciding with Trump’s second term as president and carrying out extensive immigration operations.
According to the report, the “Black Lives Matter” banners and signs that once adorned homes across America are no longer in fashion, and protesters shouting “I can’t breathe” are no longer on the streets.
But look at the immigration protests in Minnesota. What’s happening there marks the beginning of a new kind of racial reconciliation. These protests will not be the spectacle or the grandiose protests of the George Floyd protests of 2020. Yet they have great power.
This claim may seem unbelievable. The killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police sparked the largest protests in American history. White support for the Black Lives Matter movement has skyrocketed. Former US President George W. Bush also posed a public question: How can we end systemic racism in society?
There has been a racial awakening about immigration.
There are clear connections between the protests over the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis and the recent immigration protests in Minnesota. Both protests occurred after videos of police killings of citizens were released. Both protests took place almost exclusively in South Minneapolis, and both focused on civil resistance to allegations of executive violence. Another common factor in both protests was that in both, Americans were forced to grapple with lessons about racism that had been ignored or forgotten.
Meanwhile, Trump sees his massive crackdown on immigration as a way to get rid of illegal and undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes. But the events in Minneapolis forced many white Americans to confront another possibility: that the exclusion of racial and ethnic minorities is a central goal of Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Trump also seeks to end birthright citizenship, a change that affects many people from Asian and Latin American countries. He has also banned travel to the United States from mostly black countries, while allowing South Africa’s white minority, known as Afrikaners, to enter the United States.
The killing of protesters in Minnesota has become everyone’s fight.
The difference between the protests in Minneapolis and the protests in Minnesota was that George Floyd was a black man, but both Prety and Goode were white men who were killed by immigration officers. They faced another inconvenient truth about racism: Black lives may matter, but when it comes to garnering sympathy for a protest movement: white lives are another matter.
Many white Americans have family and friends who resemble the victims, and their deaths are impacting white American society in a way that Floyd’s death never did.
Protests are spreading beyond Minnesota.
The Minnesota protests are part of a growing movement that has faced fierce resistance in Chicago and Los Angeles. Parents, teachers, religious leaders and community organizers in other cities are trying to educate people about what to do if they witness an immigrant being arrested. In Los Angeles and Chicago, there are reports of resistance to immigration enforcement reaching clubs, neighborhood group chats, and Catholic churches, which are not typically aligned with Democrats.
What is happening in Minneapolis and across America this year is likely to be different than what happened in 2020. But that path will not be won until the American people face some hard truths about race and ethnicity and what kind of country they want to live in.
Americans today are saviors about the factors needed for real change, but immigration remains a complex issue. Most Americans want secure borders. And racial diversity is much deeper and more diverse than it was in 2020. But looking deeper into what is happening across America, we can dare to say something that was unthinkable just a few months ago: America is on the brink of a new kind of racial reconciliation.
