George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, on May 25, 2020.[3] Derek Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds which caused a lack of oxygen.[4] After his murder, protests against police brutality, especially towards black people, quickly spread across the United States and globally. His dying words, "I can't breathe", became a rallying slogan.

But if the event had happened after dark, with no bystanders and no video, Floyd would be anonymous today.  Those riots and protests would not have occurred.  Or, if all there was was Fox News, they’d not reported it, or somehow twisted the story to justify his death.

When I was a child, Republicans were moral people who opposed immoral people down South who were Democrats that supported racism.

Now it’s not so simple.

Today moral people oppose racism and immoral people pretend racism is not a problem.

george floyd died of a drug overdose.

i believe that if you are not willing to fight evil, then you are not moral. And george floyd was an evil human.

if you are not loyal to your own people and support them when they are at war, then you are not a moral person. White people are currently at war. Shilling for the enemy is dishonest and dishonorable.
