I have often wondered this as well.
Let's be honest, I do not believe many black people would have anything to do with George Floyd if he were living today...but he died in resistance of his arrest, and they come together.
it must have something to do with the black experience in America...
If you don't know a man, don't know the facts of his specific case, then there is no reason to get upset or start a riot. Just go back to minding your own business...
for some reason, it's about the police
because when blacks kill each other, 6500 a year, there is no outrage...
strange

That’s what get me. An 8 year old African American boy was shot in Hoover last year during a shootout. No marches. No celebrities tweeting hashtags. Nothing. Fast forward a few months later. A 4 year old was shot in a park. Same deal.
Those were senseless killings that happen at a much higher rate than any kind at the hands of police that everyone gets up in arms about. It’s really sad because if this same energy was directed towards those incidents, we could see so much more be done that could truly help the black community. But the ones that make the news involve race or at least it fits the narrative of race. America is obsessed with race.
