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.

Ahe is welcome to find out how great Africa or anywhere else is in the world.

If I thought I lived in a country that was “never great”, I would not regard it as any sort of homeland. I would leave to somewhere that was “great”. She’s lying.

Under the 8 years of lord god Obama the Golden Child. How dare you question Queen Michelle?

That was the first time in her adult life she was proud of America.

Wasn’t that enough for the neice?

What did she want on top of that, a pony??

When? There are lots of good examples but I will start with one that is fairly recent:

November 8, 2016.

Online probate for Minnesota still not showing his case being opened.

Gofundme Brother is probably going to want to be Executor if Floyd didnt name one in a will.

Waiting to see if any fight it.

“Floyd’s Niece: ‘When Has America Ever Been Great?’”

Up to about 2008.

Floyd was a no good, two bit life long thug with a very long rap sheet who spent a big chunk of his adult life in jail for serious crimes.
I have zero interest in what he or his no account niece have to say about anything.
We are talking about some girl of no consequence suddenly come into free Gofundme money and she is now an authority on what matters in life?
She needs to shut up already.
