Thousands of mourners attend six-hour viewing of George Floyd's open casket in his hometown of Houston in final stop in a series of memorials in his honor

Mourners, many wearing masks and T-shirts with the words 'I Can't Breathe,' stood 6 feet apart as they paused briefly to view the casket. Some made the sign of the cross as they passed by. On the stage behind the casket were two identical murals of Floyd wearing a black cap that read 'Houston' and angel wings drawn behind him.

Floyd's private funeral will be Tuesday followed by burial at the Houston Memorial Gardens cemetery in suburban Pearland where he will be laid to rest next to his mother, Larcenia Floyd.

Former Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Houston to meet with Floyd's family and provide a video message to be played at Floyd's funeral service. He posed for a photo alongside Floyd's uncle Roger Floyd, Rev Al Sharpton, Floyd's family attorney Ben Crump and Congressman Cedric Richmond.

Is he buried yet, or is there more services around the country?

Meanwhile, those deserving of heroic status in the Black Community (Dr. Ben Carson as an example), are dismissed as “Uncle Toms.”

Shouldn’t Biden have work a black mask to a black man’s funeral? Just asking for a friend.

How did they get such snazzy outfits made so quickly? Why is Sharpton wearing a Michael Jackson-style one handed glove? How did they get masks with logos?

A state funeral for a dead thug counterfeiter and career criminal and drug addict (with the China Flu !). Lincoln didn’t get this much fawning press conference.

“... stood 6 feet apart ...”

Baseless virtue signaling. The photos show otherwise. But whatever.

Not just once but several times. Makes me wonder if there was ever pressure on George neck by the cop knee. Yes we see the cop placing his knee on the neck but was there pressure?

Nothing says stereotype like a gold plated casket. Should have had 26’ chrome blinge rims and spinners for the casket cart
