2020 has been absolute mayhem. If natural occurring factors weren't enough, man-made disasters showed up and wreaked yet more havoc.
George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man was reportedly killed after a cop placed his knee on Floyd's neck. The same cop allegedly paid no heed to onlookers who protested to the harsh treatment or to the man himself whose last words were "I can't breathe." The protests that followed, in Minneapolis, Minnesota and in major world cities, had one voice when saying black lives matter.
Recently, social media was flooded with pictures and videos of white people allegedly mocking Floyd's death by participating in a trend called the 'George Floyd Challenge'. Yes, this is what the world has come to.?
These people are apparently of the thought that recreating a tragic incident like the one at hand can pass off as entertainment.?Even though most of the videos have been taken down by concerned platforms where they were posted in the first place, Snapchat and TikTok continue to be the flag-bearers when it comes to such content being shared it seems.
People were quick to take screenshots of the videos and are furious at the insensitive behaviour of human beings that they are mocking someone's death. Reportedly, the three young boys who participated in the videos have already been arrested. However, there are many who still remain unidentified.?
Today it's a 'challenge'. Tomorrow it'll be another George Floyd.?
