TKOFCD Decries Racial Injustice in George Floyd’s Death The Trebi Kuma Ollennu Foundation for Community Development (TKOFCD) stands in solidarity with people of African descent and all lovers of justice to decry the unjust treatment meted out to George Floyd, brutally assaulted and ‘murdered’ at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, USA. TKOFCD, an organisation founded by people of African descent and involved in international development, we value and recognise as ut...most importance that human dignity relates to the very quality of being human. We are therefore devastated by the trampling of George Floyd’s humanity. What is George Floyd George Floyd’s neck symbolises the spirit of the African race. And this ‘spirit’ will dismantle the falsity of racism and dehumanisation of people of African descent. And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the middle of the neck, sift the nations with the sieve of vanity. (Isaiah 30:28). George Floyd’s neck represents the influx of truth that speaks to economic injustice against the African race. It castigates false postures, hypocrisy, and the greed of dominant economic and political powers. Why George Floyd Because we have faked enough. Because we have pretended enough. The band aids are falling off. How Much is George Floyd Now you know. He is more than a city. He is more than a country. He is more than a race. He is more than all the military might employed to resist ‘him’ in demonstrations of solidarity in cities around the world. He is freedom rising from the ashes of oppression. How much is justice? What Shall You Do? Take a mirror, the one that searches souls and weigh yours. Talking about it is not enough. Demonstrations are not enough. The African race cannot breathe because of systemic inaccessibility to economic power through the use of systemic decision making processes by architects of local, national, and multinational economies. TKOFCD is calling for the de-racialization of economic systems that favour particular races. This is the most effective way of dismantling institutional racism in North America and the rest of the world. George Floyd continues to speak until all racialized aspects of economic and political systems are dismantled in both the USA and Canada. Flora Trebi-Ollennu President (TKOFCD)
