George Clooney: Racism is America's pandemic

16:11, June 3

George Clooney reflects on the US riots following the death of the African American George Floyd in Minneapolis, The Guardian reported

In his essay published on The Daily Beast, he noted that urgent action was required to combat the racism 'pandemic' in the US.

“There is little doubt that George Floyd was murdered,” he wrote. “We watched as he took his last breath at the hands of four police officers.”

“We don’t know when these protests will subside. We hope and pray that no one else will be killed. But we also know that very little will change. The anger and the frustration we see playing out once again in our streets is just a reminder of how little we’ve grown as a country from our original sin of slavery.”

“This is our pandemic. It infects all of us, and in 400 years we’ve yet to find a vaccine.”

“We need policymakers and politicians that reflect basic fairness to all of their citizens equally. Not leaders that stoke hatred and violence as if the idea of shooting looters could ever be anything less than a racial dog whistle.”

“And there is only one way in this country to bring lasting change: Vote.”
