Floyd’s Niece: ‘When Has America Ever Been Great?’
Breitbart ^ | 6/9/20

Posted on 06/09/2020 5:07:24 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

Brooke Williams, the niece of George Floyd, asked “when has America ever been great?” as she paid tribute to her uncle at his funeral in Houston, Texas, on Tuesday afternoon.

“As long as I’m breathing, justice will be served for Perry,” Williams pledged. “That officer showed no remorse while watching my uncle’s soul leave his body. He begged and pleaded many times just for you to get up, but you just pushed harder. Why must the system be corrupt and broken?”

“Someone said, ‘Make America Great Again,’ but when has America ever been great?” she then asked, alluding to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan.

President Donald Trump has called Floyd’s death “very sad and tragic” and vowed “justice will be served” in his case.

Floyd, 46, died on Memorial Day during an arrest by Minneapolis police officers responding to a report of a man passing a counterfeit bill at a store. Video captured a white officer kneeling on the neck of the unarmed black man for nearly 9 minutes before he died, setting off protests around the world.

Memorial services were held for Floyd in Minneapolis, New York, and North Carolina last week. On Monday, thousands of mourners lined up for a public visitation at the Fountains of Praise Church in Houston.

Tuesday’s funeral, which began at 11 a.m. CDT, is private but is being broadcast and live-streamed.

When we saved the world from tyranny in the 1940’s, saved the world from communism in the 1950’s, Went to the moon in the 1960’s, been pretty much downhill from there thanks to seeds sown by the KGB way back when.

Met a guy from Nigeria the other day who is thrilled to be here, is in the Army trying to gain his citizenship and does not understand black Americans at all.

God is great! America has only ever been as good as He allowed. A people who do not revere God are not great. A country which allows and even encourages the killing of innocent new life condemns itself.

Last time I looked martyred Mother Theresa George Floyd’s Go Fund Me page broke the record and was up to 13 million for his grifter brothers. Looks like the niece has been kicked out of the booty haul.

Given the propensity for black fetus to be terminated at genocidal levels. One might think that some Americans have a vendetta against the black people of America (Margret Sanger). Seeings she is so swayed by the death of her uncle (no doubt a tragedy) one would think her anger would have included those unable to speak, or for the thousands that have died in Chicago at the hands of other with like skin color.

The prevailing questions remain, "Why are you still here?"
