Vandal Splatters Paint on George Floyd Bust in Union Square b/c in the Presence of Color Racists Function as Psychopaths [they understand right and wrong but ignore it where "Race" is a variable]
/In general, white people treat each other humanely. But in their relations with non-white people, racists function as psychopaths. Dr. Bobby Wright has explained, 'the psychopath is an individual who is constantly in conflict with other persons or groups. He is unable to experience guilt, is completely selfish and callous, and has a total disregard for the rights of others. Psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong. By ignoring this trait in the White race (the lack of ethical and moral development) Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable.' [MORE]
From [HERE] A 10-foot tall bronze-colored bust of George Floyd, whose murder by a police officer sparked a nationwide uprising against police brutality last year, was vandalized with gray paint Sunday morning in Union Square, according the NYPD, onlookers and the group that erected the statue. [UPDATE, October 4: The NYPD has released footage fo the suspect; more details below.]
The bust had been unveiled just three days earlier as part of a touring installation that also included sculptures of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky in March of 2020, and John Lewis, the late Congressman and civil rights activist who died last summer, shortly after Floyd was killed.
Surveillance footage around 10 a.m. captured a man on a skateboard crouching behind the bust of John Lewis mixing something in a container, then skating past the statue of Floyd, dumping the gray paint on the bust and skating away, an NYPD spokesperson said. No arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon.
Once police officers took a report about the vandalism on Sunday morning, several volunteers as well as the producer of the installation, started scraping the gray paint away. Onlookers milled around the installation taking in the works of art, and the vandalism.
