摘　　要：The anti-racism protests triggered by the death of black man George Floyd were not merely an extension of the Blacks Lives Matters movement that began under the Obama administration,but also a new manifestation of American race conflict,which is often caused by conflict between the police and civilians.This movement has turned out to be thelargest and longest anti-racism demonstration in America since the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.The increasingly intense race conflicts,the impact of the Coronavirus(COVID-19)pandemic on the US economy and society,and the heated political struggles of the 2020 election process have contributed to these mass movements.The demonstrations and the pandemic have led to a low approval rating of President Trump,and elevated race relations as an important issue in the election.The result of the 2020 election will affect the evolution of American race relations,but will not change the long-standing fact of American race conflict.
