NZers Do Right To Stand in Solidarity with George Floyd, Calling Upon Jacinda Ardern to Stand/Speak Up to America (as in its Trump Administration) Thereabouts...But How About Just a Little of a Like-minded Appeal Vis-a-vis the Increasingly Repressed/Oppressed People of Hong Kong...or are 'the Chinese', as in their own Government, "persona non grata"?; by which - in this particular instance - I mean 'Off-Limits' to Such (Only Too Legitimate) Criticism/Condemnation, Only a Certain U S President Apparently Meeting the High-(i.e. LOW-)Water Mark of 'Worthiness' of Ever Being Given a Serve (or Several)...Seeing as - Apparently - he Presently Constitutes 'the SUM of ALL EVIL' and is the Living, Breathing Embodiment of Such...NO MATTER WHAT is Happening and HOW Bad OTHERS are Acting Here, There and Quite Literally Everywhere on the World Stage...-Hey, It's Getting Awfully Hard to Avoid the Conclusion, Folks...and Please Don't Forget that America's Systemic Police Brutality Against Blacks is Hardly a New or Novel Phenomenon, It Indeed 'First' Really Appearing - as in 'With a Vengeance' - under the Donald's Immediate Predecessor, i.e. the U S of A's First Ever Black President (Barack Obama), Whose Veep, Interestingly Enough (i.e. Joe Biden), is Now Making a Run for his/their Position, Claiming as it Were to be the First Real Champion of the Black People of America...Hey, But the Ideological Left Have Long Held a Sheer Monopoly Upon (Self-)Righteous Anger, Haven't They Just...
