Luego del asesinato del afroamericano George Floyd, de 46 años, el pasado 25 de Mayo en Minneapolis a a manos del agente Derek Chauvin, las consiguientes protestas que se extendieron por todo Estados Unidos. A todo esto, muchos músicos se manisfestaron mediante sus redes sociales expresando sus condolencias por el hombre fallecido y condenó el accionar de la policía de ese país.
Ahora, eso no fue todo, ya que muchos de artistas también reaccionaron de manera negativa frente a los comentarios del presidente Donald Trump, quien acusó a los medios de haber fomentado el odio y la anarquía y de difundir, según él, noticias falsas. Entre los principales artistas que han generado noticia por su respuesta al presidente Donald Trump, se encuentra el cantante de los Guns N’ Roses, Axl Rose (puedes leer la noticia completa de Axl dando clic aquí).
Lo que muy pocos medios han criticado en contra de todas las manifestaciones es que, por si no se han dado cuenta, la pandemia sigue a nivel mundial y estar en cualquier tipo de marcha aumenta las posibilidades de contagio masivo, teniendo en cuenta que los Estados Unidos es el país con más infectados y muertes a nivel mundial.

Several roads have brought us to this point. Only one road is going to lead us out of here. We HAVE to take the road together. Fight injustice. Fight racism. Fight oppression.

This display of ignorance is astounding, yet woefully unsurprising. I have no words. Racism is unbelievable, in the truest sense of the word. We cant let those who use this for personal gain break our spirits. Create. Breathe. To not let it break us is a rebellious act in itself.
