No clue what you're posting.

This death awakened people, just not all the other deaths.

Do the protesters have any solutions, ideas, what will they do in a couple years when another cop screws up ...white on black, those are the only one's that matter?

This one awakened a whole lot more.
Protests all over the world. Why this one, not sure.

Not sure. Why should this one energize the world....it shouldn't. You are being used.
 
I don't believe I ever stated racism as motive. I don't believe I've stated any sort of motive.
Was Chauvin racist? I have no clue. I've not seen stories or evidence stating either way.

But I think the city of Mpls has said the cops have had racial issues in past.

I am not sure how this turned into such a long and wide spread protesting. But it's even outside the USA.

Perception is reality.
I can tell you how we got here. The race baiters are telling everyone that this is proof that the racism they keep telling us about is real.
They start screaming it out without any proof to support it. The fact that its gone global and the mobs have been so destructive shows how dangerous a false perception can be.

I am home. Getting ready to go to bed so I can work tomorrow.

Stop pretending you know anything about me.

I am sure they have their proof.
As I said, perception is reality. I doubt it's false. Our country has systemic racism. That I have no doubt.

We should assume they have hidden proof that they are not sharing. You think thats an adequate answer to justify ringing an alarm bell that has people angry enough to loot and riot over?

It's not hidden.
 
Yet when I ask you what the evidence is, you have no answer.

I've posted a link to systemic racism.
I've said that many in the black community, especially those whose voice gets heard, sports figures, actors, comedians, have all told similar stories.

I take them at their word.

If you were interested you'd find all the links you wanted on systemic racism. You can listen to interviews of sports figures.

I am not going to convince you of anything. If you really want to know, you'd do your own research.

BLM didn't come into existence just because they were all bored.

Your moving the goal post my friend. I asked you for evidence that racism was the motive for killing Floyd. As far as I can tell there is none. Just because this systemic racism might exist does not mean that everytime an interracial incident occurs its because of racism.

Protesters have been marching looting and burning for more than a week now Floyd is in the ground. It is time to give up all the protesting nonsense and go home. It is really starting to annoy people.

it is was George wanted, to be remembered as a catalyst of violence

Why would you ask me?
How many explanations from me do you need saying I've not claimed any racism for or against the neck kneeler.
 
OK, got it, you just make things up to chide and bait.

No, I'm just rubbing into your face that you have no idea what's going on around you. Hamster on a wheel.

No offense but you're clueless about Hamsters. They actually truly enjoy running in wheels and it makes them joyful to do it. My hamsters wheel got stuck and the poor thing got depressed. It became upset with me and didn't want to be held. I thought something might be wrong with it so the next night I checked on her and she wasn't running like usual. Lo and behold the wheel was stuck. I put her in the wheel and she immediately started running in it full speed, the next day she was back to her happy hamster self. Moral of the story, Hamsters truly love running in wheels.... it is a toy to them.

You know what? You are a beautiful person for typing that to me. I am not clueless about hamsters. I have cared for more than a dozen of them. I sense that you misunderstood my analogy. I don't care if idiots like running in circles. It's a nice exercise, but the runner doesn't arrive anywhere.
 
Evidence of what? That you're not a minority?
This is a good example of why people like yourself should not jump into the middle of a discussion without first learning what is being duscussed, or are you purposely trying to deflect away from the subject being discussed.

Do you have any evidence that systemic racism was the reason george floyd is dead and if so, what is it?

I haven't logged on in six days. I have a real life. You should try it sometime.

Anyway, I won't allow you to obfuscate this issue. You must be used to talking to idiots. Because birds of a feather.

I don't know if systemic racism caused George Floyd's death. That will be adjudicated in a court that is hopefully competent. What I do know is that systemic racism permeates every centimeter of American society and that the majority resists to acknowledge its existence. That's a fact. If you need more evidence, walk outside.

I need more evidence then you stating it as a fact without providing any evidence to support your claim.

Would you also like me to provide you with evidence that the sky is up and water is wet?

We aren't going to allow white people to tell us anymore that we imagine what we experience and that even if racism exists, it's not as bad as it was when all the old racists in this country were more openly racist. It is so unbelievably cruel for someone like you to discount our perceptions.

For some more reading, here are several thousand academic explorations of systemic racism. Before you continue spouting unmitigated bull**** into the internet, I suggest you read a few of them.
