Everyone says this word, and yet there is and never has been, including during the man’s court case offered by prosecution, any evidence that alleged or even suggested that the killing of George Floyd was anything to do with racism.
Don’t mistake this for me trying to defend the innocence of this man, just making an observation. Everyone is so quick to jump on the racism bandwagon.
Nah, I get what you’re saying. Honestly, having come from a family that had multiple racist cops in it, and seeing first hand how black people are treated differently in the judicial system. I just assume that all cops are racist. Really that is an unfair assumption. Though I personally think it’s correct more often than not. We still shouldn’t accuse people of things without proof.
there are always exceptions to rules-of-thumb, but it's usually more accurate than not.
