A sign with special "instructions" for white people was displayed in Minneapolis in the square where the African-American George Floyd died during a police action on May 25 last year, reported the American newspaper New York Post.
A sign at the entrance to the square named after George Floyd at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis calls the area "a sacred place of community, public pain and protest." The creators of the poster tell visitors to "respect this space as a place that connects and express their pain as caring people." - can be read in the coverage of MTI.
In addition to a drawing of Georg Floyd, five more instructions were written on the board, which were addressed "especially to white people." "Rise yourselves and come to listen, learn, mourn and witness," says the first point, which continues:
"Remember, they are here to support you, not to support you."
In the second point it is written:
"Consider whether your voice, steps, and actions support or undermine your efforts to rise above yourself."
White visitors are also advised in point three:
"share their own aspirations with other white people that they don't want to harm the BIPOC community." (BIPOC is a more recent acronym used for black, indigenous and men of color.)
In the fourth point, they call on white people to only take and upload photos on social media where the individuals in them have consented to be in the picture.
"If you witness other white people doing problematic things, call them out to take the burden off black people and our brothers and sisters of color," the final instruction reads.
According to the article, an image shared on social media depicting the sign has sparked outrage in the United States. Many people clearly consider the instructions for white-skinned people to be clearly racist.
There was someone who suggested in his Twitter post
"I can't imagine what would happen if we put up a special notice board about black people anywhere."
George Floyd's for several minutes and, according to the indictment, caused the man's death. Later, it was revealed from the autopsy report that the victim suffered from heart disease and Covid-19 disease caused by the new type of coronavirus, and there were also a lot of drugs in his body .
