Ep. 693 - I have to say this ONE important thing about George Floyd

When an argument is completely based on a lie or a false premise - nothing else you say in defense of it matters. I needed to preface what I am about to say with that. Of the hundreds of millions of people that demanded justice and accountability for the brutal murder/lynching of George Floyd, I don't think a single person fought for him because he was our hero. I never heard anyone say this. I never heard about anyone saying this. We fought for George Floyd because he was a human being that was killed, in broad daylight, in one of the single most depraved and inhumane acts in modern American history. We fought for George because he was a victim and because he did not deserve a single thing that happened to him. I did not care then and do not care now if George Floyd struggled with drugs or alcohol. In fact, it breaks my heart for him even more - because it means he was denied the chance to overcome his struggles in his own time - which I am sure he would have. Nothing anyone can ever say about George Floyd will EVER make me feel like his life wasn't worth fighting for. NOTHING. All Black Lives Matter to us. And I can think of nothing more despicable than trying to tear down the humanity and memory of a man that already died such a horrible death. Learn more about your ad choices.
