Article is a page or so back. Quick Google found another one for you.

You shouldn't take this so personal dude, you'll give yourself a heart attack.

Nothing personal, it's just that the world is being turned upside down, white police are being labelled as racist, the US is said to full of systemic racism, cities are burning, cities are being taken over, etc. etc. Over what could be nothing but a personal beef.

So will he change his story again, or is that it for now?

So they are co-workers, tell me is that how you treat a co-worker who you get along with, or even one that you know casually??

The family seem to think it was personal, are they wrong too?

The Floyd family says they believe what happened on May 25 was in part personal. Their lawyer has previously called for Chauvin to be charged with first-degree murder, "because we believe he knew who George Floyd was."

Is FOX really the only news outlet that is covering the Seattle take over?

This should be headline news across the board but I guess it doesn't suit the narrative now does it.....

Edit: A quick google shows that they are covering it, but from the usual 'Trump is bad' perspective, not a 'protesters have done something wrong' angle.

No, it is not rubbish. Black people in the USA have a very interesting and rich culture. Black communities are vastly different compared to the 60s however. If you watch any African American commentators, they will talk about this often. Policies were implemented in the 60s which have had negative impact on these communities. The last 50 years have been terrible. They most certainly have been left behind. I just don't buy the whole systemic racism narrative though. While I do not discount issues such as Redlining, individual racism, system/structural racism is not something that can be defeated. The culture around gangsterisim is rubbish though, and one that I am sure is driving a lot of these issues.

I did specifically say.
Black culture seems to be garbage, though not all of it, and needs to be revamped.

I think individuals should know where they come from but they should be responsible and proud only of themselves. If someone is proud of the guy who invented the wagon and uses him as a reason to express the greatness of the white race, why can't people point out that their neighbour was a white slave-trader that raped and murdered human beings too?

I understand you can be proud of people, but being proud of them because of their race rather than their individuality seems strange, I mean individuals achieve great things, not the entire group?

Says he who blames others for along racial lines for failures?

It takes many individuals to create an environment that is conducive to greater things, people achieving.

Those same individuals can also create a toxic environment that encourages the opposite ... and then you sit on your backside and blame others.

It's about culture. Ironically culture is not about skin colour, sex, nor even religion.
 
Why are so many Black Americans being killed by police?

What is behind the unprecedented protests in the US?

The killing of George Floyd and many other Black people before him has led to unprecedented protests across the United States.

Protesters say that without justice there can be no peace.

But the anger and pain in the US is about more than wanting to stop police brutality.

Join Start Here as we ask what it means to be Black in America.

The military confirming that it will abide by its oath to defend the constitution is not "virtue signaling".

Such an over used phrase.

Chasing away violent rioters isn't against the constitution.

That for me would make it even worse, that would mean a cop willfully killed someone while on duty. That still makes him a dirty cop, something I've been calling him all through this thread. On the racism thing only he will know if that was his reason, and I doubt he'd ever tell the truth.

But I don't live in America so I won't even pretend to understand their issues. I can barely understand the local mybroederbond's reasoning.

Yip, that would be straight out murder charges for all three. Not just contributed like Jabu Terreblanche has been blaring on repeat.

If you and the rest of the Mybolshevik gang dont like the fact that i called it before anyone else , get over it , i was right with the best i can do is "contributed to".
Let us stay on topic of floyds death due to drugs/covid/health conditions/police instead of sniping at each other .

Edit - i see you keep mentioning terreblanche in your posts , hangups are a pain.

Sure, it seems he is not a good guy, but the world is being recreated in the image of 'anti-racism', when it seems it's just a bad human being who done a terrible thing.

Movies removed, shows cancelled, cities burned and taken over, statues removed, etc. all in the name of something that didn't even happen.

A guy was killed by a rogue cop, happens all the time in the US, including to white people, but the media have spun this to suit a narrative that potentially doesn't exist.

'Militarised cop kills man' should be the headline, not the race baiting stuff that is seen around the world.

So you know that the other 3 cops knew that Chauvin intended to kill Floyd? How could you possibly know that?

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
