George Floyd should have been alive today. George Floyd would have been alive today if his humanity was recognized, valued and respected.

I'll loan you a rhyme Reverunt Al: Comply - Don't Die
Right after hell freezes over.
Half of them are on welfare, the other half got cushy government jobs they are not qualified for
Where is this ‘white privilege’ they keep telling me I have?
Al should be careful what he wishes for.
“Reverend” Al is no Martin Luther King. Hell, he’s not even RODNEY King!
George Floyd has a criminal record & had spent prior time in prison.
Tell me again about his “HUMANITY”, Sharpton.
He tried to defraud a shopkeeper with a phony $20 bill.
That YOUR version of HUMANITY???
Quit trying to paint a troublemaker as a saint.
We ARE NOT BUYING that crap any more
