Slavery
ended after the defeat of the slavery-adulating Confederate army to the anti-slavery
Union soldiers, in April, 1865. After that American Civil War and subsequently, after 155
years of that good, great episode - the episode of the defeat of the Confederates - human demeaning instances had cropped up
again and again in USA.
Finally, after the merciless death of George Floyd in Minneapolis,
in the State of Minnesota, anything that reminded of slavery of the past, were
removed or publically vandalized by furious and despondent black American protesters.
Many white American sympathizers also joined in. Statues of Confederate
personnel, soldiers and generals were the main fatalities, as these were the
constant reminders of the disgraceful presence of slavery of the bygone years.
Come to
think of it, President Trump will be known for the legacy of bringing the
plight of black Americans to the fore, to the notice and sympathetic understanding
of the world. The reminders of the rampancy of slavery and presumably, the
present persistence with that shameless attitude has been kindled, unknowing
and unexpectedly, by Trump. You must give credit where credit is due, whether
it has been done knowingly or otherwise is immaterial, when an occurrence of a
good deed is concerned. One must remember that it is during his time as the President that this episode happened.
Well done,
President Trump! Well done, for letting the world know more about the slavery situation and the plight of the non-white Americans of USA during the years gone by!
