Where are people even getting this idea that George Floyd is being heralded as some shining beacon and representative of the Black community outside of the narrative that George Floyd is one of the current in a long list of Black people killed by police, often with little to no consequences.


The slogan "justice for Floyd" and his portrait have become symbols of the current protest; his gofundme has collected over 13 million. He might not be presented as representative of the entire Black community, but he damn sure is presented as the symbol and a heroic spearhead of the current protests.

To that point, both the president and Biden are attempting to invoke his name to score political points, and his face is everywhere.

He's clearly been ordained as the face of the movement.

And Claus von Stauffenberg is the face of German resistance to Nazism even though there were many who fought against it. Problem?

...Or are you just complaining to complain?

I could be wrong.. I don't see many posting talking about the "justice for Floyd" is based on how great of a guy he is..
I see the commentary about how poorly he was treated and yes he is getting donations in his name.. That would be a mis truth if it's being spoken that he before incidente life behavior was "heroic"

Yeah his police record seems more accurate to me, wonder how many people he robbed that didn't call the police, gotta remember the community he preys on are not known for giving statements.
