White people wanting to visit George Floyd Square, the intersection where the 46-year-old Black man died last May, will need to heed special instructions. The intersection of E. 38th Street and Chicago Avenue – where a bystander recorded the now-famous video that showed then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck – was converted into a memorial and renamed George Floyd Square shortly after his death. A sign near the entrance of the Square welcomes visitors to "A Sacred Space for Community, Public Grief, and Protest." The sign notes that the area is where Floyd "took his last breath under the knee of" Chauvin, who was found guilty Tuesday of multiple charges in Floyd’s death. BEN CARSON: WE WILL 'DESTROY OURSELVES AS A NATION' IF AMERICANS DON'T WAKE UP' AND UNTIE The sign urges visitors to "honor the space as a place to connect and grieve as caring humans." However, it includes a special set of instructions for White people. White visitors need to "decenter" and "come to listen, learn, mourn, and witness." "Remember you are here to support, not to be supported," the sign reads.

These Marxists think they can create their Mecca anywhere in the US and that they can keep the “infidels” out. I cant wait to get a chance to violate their unconstitutional sacred spaces by strutting right on through it.

“As a tribute to the memory of George Floyd, everyone will be asked to take an overdose of Fentanyl.”
