一石激起千层浪，“弗洛伊德之死”的余波已经蔓延到了欧洲。上周末，从匈牙利的布达佩斯到英国的伯明翰，成千上万的欧洲人走上街头，和美国人民站在一起，只为了一个共同的目标——种族平等。他们的脚步几乎遍及了城市的每一处，风雨无阻；他们已经不在乎所谓的安全社交距离了，目光所及之处均是人头攒动。
无论是巴黎还是洛桑，又或者是哥本哈根和巴塞罗那，无名小街、公共广场、知名公园，到处都挤满了示威游行的民众，他们对美国警察的警权滥用行为嗤之以鼻，强烈抗议种族之间的暴力行为。在英国伦敦和意大利那不勒斯，示威游行者大量聚集在当地的美国领事馆外，举着横幅，振臂高呼着弗洛伊德的名字。“黑人的命也是命！”他们用双语将这句话作为口号写成大字。
在罗马的波波罗露天广场，一群年轻人在晴空下告诫民众们，种族问题不仅仅是美国一个国家的问题，种族问题更是全球的问题；在比利时的首都布鲁塞尔，游行者们告诉民众，当地也曾在2018年发生过相同的警权滥用案。
显然，弗洛伊德被杀一事已经触动了整个欧洲的神经，很多欧洲人开始重翻欧洲历史中关乎“种族歧视”的旧账。比利时最近正流传着一份请愿书，书中要求国家政府拆除前国王利奥波德二世的所有雕像，因为这个国王在位期间曾杀害了其殖民地刚果的上百万黑人。在英国的布里斯托尔，黑奴商人爱德华•科斯顿的铜像被示威者截断后扔进了埃文河。
面对雕像的离奇消失，推特上起初流传着这样一个笑话，“雕像长了腿，不小心被绊倒了，自己掉进了河里。”然而，雕像事件并没有真的被一笑了之，警方表示已经对此案件介入调查，同时，英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊认为这种行为无异于“谋杀”，内政大臣普里提•帕特尔在推特上表示，“真正的正义一定会随之到场。”

From Budapest to Birmingham, England, tens of thousands of Europeans took to the streets this past weekend in solidarity with Americans, calling for racial justice and an end to the abuse of power by police forces in the wake of the killing of George Floyd two weeks ago. They did so despite, in places, stormy weather—and in defiance, nearly everywhere, of strict social-distancing rules.
In Paris, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrators packed narrow city streets, major public squares, and iconic parks to raise their voices against racial violence and police brutality. In cities such as London and Naples, Italy, the protesters assembled outside the U.S. embassy or consulate buildings to chant George Floyd’s name and demand justice. They carried signs, in English and in the local language, denouncing racism and showing their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.、
Under sunny skies in Rome, a young crowd filled Piazza del Popolo, reminding others that racism is not an American problem, but a global scourge. In Brussels, protesters also used the occasion to call attention to local cases, such as that of Moïse “Lamine” Bangoura, who died in police custody in 2018.
The May 25 killing of George Floyd is forcing many in Europe to confront the continent’s troubled past with race relations. In Belgium, a former colonial power, a petition is circulating, calling on the country to take down all statues of former King Leopold II. Leopold, who ruled from 1865 to 1909, is blamed for the genocide that killed millions in the former Belgian Congo colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the English city of Bristol, antiracism protesters toppled the statue of former slave trader Edward Colston and threw the bronze likeness into the River Avon.
A popular joke on Twitter reads, “Protesters say statue tripped, and fell into the water.” But by Monday, it had become clear the statue incident wasn’t being treated as a joke. Police said they had opened up an investigation into the incident. Meanwhile, members of the U.K. government, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, called it an act of “thuggery.” Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeted, “justice will follow.”
