Former President George W. Bush calls on Americans to “examine our tragic failures” and listen to “grieving” black Americans in a statement released Tuesday.
Bush called on people to listen to “grieving” African Americans, saying it was critical to seeing the country's reality honestly and improving on it.
“We can only see the reality of America's need by seeing it through the eyes of the threatened, oppressed, and disenfranchised,” he wrote. Bush did not speak out publicly on police killings during his two terms as president, despite two major cases,And he did not reference policy brutality specifically, instead speaking of racism and that black Americans"are harassed and threatened in their own country."Still, he argued that it was the entire country’s responsibility to achieve “justice for all.”
“We know that lasting justice will only come by peaceful means. Looting is not liberation, and destruction is not progress. But we also know that lasting peace in our communities requires truly equal justice. The rule of law ultimately depends on the fairness and legitimacy of the legal system. And achieving justice for all is the duty of all,” he said.
