Moving on with our main topic-
Kanye West's decision to jump into the election ring has come after the recent unrest & massive protests against racism & discrimination being faced by the non-white American residents in the US. The USA has seen huge protests with worldwide hashtag trends which were indicative of huge turbulence in the US while most states of America have already been heavily impacted by the covid19 pandemic.
#BlackLivesMatter trended on Twitter & other social media platforms worldwide, for many days. The trend picked up and was consequently supported by Twitter users from other countries as well.
There were violent protests predominantly by people of African origin and non-white American residents after the death of George Floyd, a non-white American, around a month back. George's death happened while he was in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Police officials arrived on the scene & arrested George. Derek Chauvin, who was a 'white' police officer, had knelt on George's neck for allegedly more than 8 minutes.
Derek knelt on George's neck when he was lying on the ground on his stomach with his hands handcuffed behind his back. This had lead to George's suffocation & ultimately death. According to an eye witness George had not resisted any of the police official's action. He was co-operating while humbly requesting the official to allow him to breathe. "I can't breathe", he pleaded & kept pleading, but the police official did not relent.
Who was the eye witness in George Floyd's case?
Maurice Lester Hall, Floyd's friend, was the eye witness. All during this incident he was seated in George Floyd's car on the passenger seat. He narrated that George Floyd did not put up any resistance, co-operated & in all humbleness kept requesting the police officials to let him know what it was all about. Later he was pleading humbly to allow him to breathe.
Hall was so terrified of the incident that he fled Minneapolis after George Floyd's death.
Derek Chauvin, the police official only got up after the para medics had arrived and asked him to get off. A total of more than 8 minutes since Derek was kneeling on George's neck & more than 1 minute had passed since George was lying motionless on the ground with Derek's knees still on George's neck, as shown in the image above.
This incident had lead to nationwide protests in the US. The video which had recorded the incident was of a total duration of 8 minutes & 46 seconds.
8 minutes and 46 seconds
The total duration for which George was held against the ground by Derek while kneeling on his neck is 8 minutes & 46 seconds. Some reports suggest it was 8 minutes & 15 seconds. However 8 minutes & 46 seconds was trending on social media, world wide. It had become a banner & a rallying cry for nationwide protests.
The following day Minneapolis Police department fired all the 4 police officials; Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng & Tou Thou; who were present at the scene, with immediate effect. All the 4 were imprisoned & Derek, the police official seen in the videos kneeling on George's neck, was charged with third degree murder & second degree manslaughter charges by the Hennepin County attorney, Mike Freeman, on May 29.
Hennepin County prosecutors pressed a more serious second degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin on June 3 citing that even though Mr. George Floyd had already lost his consciousness yet Mr. Derek Chauvin did not take his knee of Mr. Floyd's neck 1 minute 20 seconds after para medics had arrived at the scene.
The other 3 officers, Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng & Tou Thou, had charges of aiding and abetting second degree murder pressed against them.
8 minutes OR 7 minutes?
People were having heated discussions about the total duration of the incident. Some said it was 7 minutes 46 seconds, some said just over 8 minutes while some said it was 8 minutes and 46 seconds. However Jamar Nelson who supports the crime victims & the families of crime victims in Minneapolis area shot back saying, "the bottom line is it was long enough to kill him, long enough to execute him."
The United States has seen protests over discrimination & racism being leveled against the 'whites' quite a few times in the last decade. However the protests which started after George Floyd's death have really rocked the nation which is already marred by the corona virus pandemic.
The protests were staged at a crucial time as the US is gearing up for the US presidential elections around the middle of November 2020.
With the protests by the predominantly 'non-white' Americans, the elections around the corner comes Kanye West's declaration that he would be running for the post of the US President in the 2020 US elections.
Why is Kanye West running for the US presidential elections 2020?
Experts are pointing to 2 possibilities:-
1) This could be a ploy by Donald Trump himself to split up the votes. As the Trump leadership appears to be on the back-foot because of the way they have handled the corona virus pandemic. The number of people affected by the covid19 pandemic has shot up in the US & currently US stands as the top country having the maximum number of infected cases.
Since last 3 days i.e 1st, 2nd & 3rd July the number of new reported cases of covid-19 positive cases was in excess of 50,000 cases per day with the highest confirmed, reported cases being 54,500. With the US independence day celebrations on the 4th of July 2020, the number of new cases coming up daily could shoot further up.
Being number one on the charts in the total number of covid-19 cases as well as number of new caes springing up daily is an unenviable position, a tag which the US & the POTUS could do without, specially with the elections to be held around November.
Experts say this could be a desperate ploy by Trump as the Republican Party nominee appears to be
weak footed against Joe Biden, the Democrats Party contender for the POTUS post in the 2020 elections. Most of the analysis & predictions have been predicting Joe Biden as the favorite to win the elections.
With the George Floyd's incident, United States was marred by nationwide protests which took violent turns at some states & counties, there is also an air of resentment against the Trump administration.
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. or Joe Biden appears to be a strong & formidable opponent to Trump. He has views leaning towards the Left which is diametrically opposite to Donald Trump's views. Most of the Americans, unhappy with the US' inability to control the spread of corona virus or covid19 cases in the country & having feelings of resentment due to existing racism would want to turn away from Trump.
This is a big reason for Trump to worry about as even some of Trump's loyalists have been a part of protests against the current US President Donald Trump.
2) Probably rapper Kanye West, husband of Kimberly Kardashian or Kim Kardashian has some political aspirations. A big advantage could be he is a 'non-white' American rapper. And he wants to cash in on all of these anti-Trump, anti-US administration sentiments which are being aired.
What the reality is, we are probably going to find out rather sooner than later.
