Supposedly George Floyd’s father ... posted by Stephen Jackson ... but the overlap here between Stephen Jackson & George Floyd is now confusing.
This may be a derp thing or a black thing. Last year, I did an interview with a college football player. Before the interview, we were told his brother had been killed in a car wreck recently. He opened the interview talking about his brother, but when we asked a question that a brother should know, he clarified that it wasn't his real brother, but someone that was "like a brother."
Some blacks use the term brother and mean "a good friend."
