One lasted a few hours, the other lasted for an entire summer. One was incredibly destructive resulting in the most financially devastating riots in US history, the other broke some windows and did some other minor damage to one building One attacked the government, the other attacked everyday people, neighbors and neighborhoods, burnt down entire city blocks and impacted areas for years to come. One destroyed the lives and businesses of the poor and underserved, one pissed off a bunch of rich politicians One was underblown and trivialized, the other was blown entirely out of proportion One riot resulted in the death of at least 25 people (it is hard to believe it's that low). One resulted in the death of one unarmed protestor.

[@ashleyharrison2778]

That young lady reminds me so much of my self when I was her age. Consistently growing up thinking that we’re victims in this country because of the color of our skin and we’re not equal which is completely not true. Black people are the ones that oppress themselves with a victim mentality. We have the same opportunity just like anyone else in this prosperous country. We must stop thinking that we are systemically oppressed when that is not true, we oppress ourselves when we decide to make the wrong decisions. I’m not saying that there is not racist people out there but the majority of this country is not racist. America is just not a racist country and I’m proud to be an American and destroying our cities and defunding the police is not the answer and people in poverty that live in bad neighborhoods will be the main ones that this will effect. Support our police and be grateful to be an American 🇺🇸

[@toricollins6516]

I don’t share a victim mentality, I also don’t deny systemic racism exists. To paint all Black people as having a victim mentality is purposefully minimizing. The damage that has been done. If there is no systemic oppression against Black people, explain the crack-cocaine epidemic, the 1994 Crime Bill, the school-to-prison pipeline, & redlining (Wells Fargo has been sued more than twice in the last 15yrs for redlining practices & denying mortgages to qualified Black applicants). What evidence do you have the “we have the same opportunity” when ACCESS precedes that opportunity. We have a nation that undervalues public education, and collects property taxes to fund that education. What evidence do you have that the majority of Black people don’t acknowledge being an American comes with a better quality of life compared to other nations? American Blacks have every right to criticize the nation our ancestors built. I’m a veteran and college-educated, and would never make the ridiculous comments you just did. Poverty affects everyone, and the majority of Black America is lower working class or impoverished. Refusing to acknowledge that there ARE barriers, despite those of us that succeed is wild. Of course there are issues within the culture itself, and those issues all stem from poverty. If you’re going to say “we”, don’t dismiss the larger issues simply because you made it.

In the George Floyd riots, at least 19 more people were killed (some of whom were black people). In the LA riots the death toll was around 63. And then, ya, there was the astronomical amount of property damage and rioters thinking it was OK to loot or commit arson (sometimes justifying it as reparation's or claiming it was insured and therefore OK).

[@switzerlandful]

Also, there have been multiple cases of non-black people dying in similar ways as George Floyd (though without the 2 to 3 times lethal dose of fentanyl in them) yet many people have never heard of them, nor were there any massive protests or riots due to it.

100%. Derek Chauvin was thrown under the bus for the ravenous mob. Georgie boy Floyd died from an overdose of fentanyl from the "speedball" he had swallowed in an attempt to not get busted with it. The whole knee on the neck thing was highly overblown and furthered as a political tool for the left to yet again sow racial tensions. Chauvin went out of his way to try and make Floyd more comfortable after Floyd cried constantly about being claustrophobic and Chauvin did so likely because of the police being villainized so badly at the time. If Chauvin would have just let Floyd stay in the car while EMS was in route then Floyd would have overdosed there instead and Chauvin would have been criticized for not helping him so honestly he was unfortunately fucked either way.

Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s carotid for almost ten minutes, regardless of whether or not he had an adrenaline secreting tumor or what drugs he was on he wasn’t overdosing or dying until blood flow to his brain was obstructed for almost double the amount of time it takes to develop irreversible brain damage. Bottom line Derek Chauvin is a murderer and exactly where he belongs. George Floyd’s death was a direct result of willful and purposeful actions taken by the police during that encounter. Even someone not on drugs and tumor free would have very possibly died as well. Derek Chauvin had a pattern of this type of knee on neck restraint(never for as long as he used it on Floyd) and use of excessive force that resulted in a subsequent 8 million dollar settlement between the City and two other people victimized by Chauvin.
