Abstract

cur in the inner cities. No one gets the help and support they need to get off of drugs, and their situation just spirals down. A person who is on drugs often doesn’t know what they’re doing. They may become violent and hurt other individuals simply because it’s the drugs that are talking. It’s difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the addict unless you are one. We often dismiss these individuals as being bums or low-life scum, but it’s the drugs that have made them this way, not the individual.</p><h2 id="c9a4">No Investment</h2><p id="a8b2">Why is it that we put all of our investments into those that have money?

What We All Can Learn About George Floyd

What does this sad event say about our communities?

With the conviction of Officer Chauvin, some people are feeling relief and feel the incident involving George Floyd has had some sort of resolution. In this article, I really don’t want to talk about the incident itself, but the reason these incidents happen.

We live in a society that is becoming increasingly more violent. This is because of the socio-economic situation that we now live under. Our society is not progressing healthily. It is going backward, and our communities are suffering.

The inner cities of America are sad places to live. Here we are in the year 2021, where we have this wonderful technology, yet we still allow people in our society to live in absolute poverty. Our governments have failed to address the issues that plague our cities.

It’s no wonder that people lash out, given the situation that they live under. Put yourself in the position of some people that live in these inner cities. Ask yourself how you would act if you are desperate for food, shelter, medication, and the other things that many people take for granted in this world.

Crime and Drugs

There’s a reason drugs and crime often plague the poorest communities in our world. It’s easy to take advantage of people in this situation because they are desperate for a better life. There is the lure of quick money where an individual can sell drugs and get a lot of fast cash. Often, this cash is used to pay for medication, rent, food, and other necessities that family members need.

It’s difficult for the individual to get out of the situation they are in because they don’t have any outlets that they can turn to. They are drawn into a cycle of never-ending violence as gangs and other groups compete for a share of that money pot.

Addiction to these drugs also fuels problems that occur in the inner cities. No one gets the help and support they need to get off of drugs, and their situation just spirals down. A person who is on drugs often doesn’t know what they’re doing. They may become violent and hurt other individuals simply because it’s the drugs that are talking. It’s difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the addict unless you are one. We often dismiss these individuals as being bums or low-life scum, but it’s the drugs that have made them this way, not the individual.

No Investment

Why is it that we put all of our investments into those that have money? We are quick to build that next mansion or high-rise where people with a lot of money can afford to live. They live in safe communities, there are green spaces, they have access to healthcare services, healthy food, and live happy lives.

We invest a lot in these communities. We rarely invest properly in the areas of our world which are the poorest. We do nothing to lift these people out of poverty. We do nothing to give them hope. We do nothing to improve their lives. We are far too concerned with improving the lives of those that can afford to live.

When was the last time you saw anyone going to an inner-city and building affordable housing? When is the last time you saw anyone go into the inner city and make a concentrated effort to get people to get off the street? When is the last time you saw anyone work to make these communities safe? While quite a few do their best, it’s never enough as the problem is complex. The people that help plead for more help, but this never comes.

Continued Poverty

We continue to make life unaffordable for a large portion of the population. It doesn’t even matter if people get jobs because they still can’t afford the simple necessities that we all need in life. In reality, we are all responsible for George Floyd. We are all responsible for neglecting our cities and those in our society that are the most vulnerable.

We want to try to cover up these problems instead of addressing them directly. If we had vibrant and productive cities, there would be no need for a massive police presence because everyone would be happy.

We always want to blame the individual, but they are just a by-product of their environment. If we make that environment a better place where people can live, then a lot of the problems we have in those communities are going to disappear. There’s no need for drugs, violence, and crime when people are happy and have what they need in life to survive.

It’s that constant struggle for survival that causes individuals to do the things that they do. No one is born a drug dealer. No one is born a criminal. It’s our environment that causes all of these things to occur. We must address the root causes of these issues if we want to solve them.

Shooting people and throwing them in jail does absolutely nothing to address the problem. This is putting a Band-Aid on the issue because they will always be someone else that is trapped in this situation that is going to lash out. This doesn’t excuse crime and violence, but this is a by-product of the environment. If the environment changes, so do people.

In areas where people are the happiest, crime tends to be quite low. When people have affordable healthcare, decent food to eat, places where they can relax without fear, and otherwise lead good lives, crime becomes something that is minimal.

Not Black or White

This is not a race issue. We have areas where there are both poor white people as well as poor black people. There are poor people, no matter what race they are. It’s time to address these underlying issues. We must make a world that is safe for everyone. We must take a world where everyone has an opportunity, and everyone has proper healthcare and social safety nets. It’s time to stop investing in corporations. It’s time to stop investing in only money. We need to start investing in people, or our world will never change. We will not move forward. We will move backward. We will go back to the past where we had dark and violent days.

We are going there now, but people are just too stupid to realize it. We must take control and come together to make this world a better place. We can only do this when we include everyone. All of our communities must be safe. All of our citizens must be safe. We must end the destructive path we are on, or we will never get out of it.

This is what we can learn from George Floyd. He is a symptom of our environment. It is time that we heal the environment instead of putting Band-Aids on it. As we have seen in the past and continue to see, these Band-Aids aren’t stopping the bleeding. The only one that can stop the bleeding is us.
