Black Lives Paranoia

The hysteria generated after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis has had far greater ramifications than most of us have yet realised, including installing an unwarranted sense of paranoia in blacks as much as unwarranted guilt in whites. That paranoia already existed, and at times it can be warranted, but not in the case of Neomi Bennett who was stopped by the police late at night in April last year.
