Four former US presidents have expressed support for ongoing protests and agitations across the United States. They are Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.

Barack Obama has personally congratulated protesters across the country. At a town hall meeting hosted by video call sharing technology Zoom yesterday, Obama called on African-Americans George Floyd’s death protesters to remain optimistic.

Former US President Jimmy Carter says silence can also turn from violence to suicidal. Power, convenience, and moral awareness are paramount He called on all to stand up against discrimination.

Earlier on May 30, former President Bill Clinton, referring to anger, frustration, and a changed mindset, said that death was not desirable for anyone like George Floyd. The truth is, white skin is less likely to die.

Not only the three former presidents of the Democratic Party but also former Republican President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush have condemned the brutal suffocation of Floyd. She also expressed concern about repression in the United States. 

“Now is not the time to speak, now is the time to listen,” Bush said in a statement several days after George Floyd’s assassination.

Former US presidents usually avoid any political uproar. The demands of the angry people of America have become so great today that even these former statesmen could not remain silent. Each of these U.S. presidents in recent history has dealt with police hatred and violence in their own time. Maybe looking back at the manifesto of their own failure to end inequality.

Leader of the black human rights movement Martin Luther King Jr. died on April 4, 1968. The civilized society of America still holds the consciousness of this human rights leader. The American people have not been silent on the assassination of George Floyd. Protests have spread everywhere. This wave of protests has spread to the civilized world outside America today. Everywhere there is a call for people to wake up against discrimination and racism.

On the other hand, President Donald Trump’s position remains unchanged. Trump, who has been criticized for ordering troop deployments, is doing nothing to quell public anger. He argues that he has done more for black Americans than any president in the past. ‘Perhaps’ Abraham Lincoln could be an exception, he noted.

President Trump spent the night in a bunker on May 29 due to the tumultuous protests in front of the White House. He mentioned that such news is fake. Although the news broke in all major US media outlets, President Trump said he had only briefly visited the bunker below the White House.
