Regardless of your pride of America, it is true.

No matter how you look at it, or what your beliefs are,

it is true.

        And kick started the social unrest as we know it today that hasn’t stopped since.

        I’m not even sure how to think about it… But I know life since has felt unstable and teetering on civil war.

        Again, no matter how you look at it. Left, right or center. It’s not a political thing.

          Oh, the murderer.

          I would suggest studying a bit more on the history of African Americans in the USA. While this was tragic and unjustified it was a more recent symptom of hundreds of years of systemic violence against people of color than a tipping point that changed everything. This horrible bloody path America has been walking down for generations and Mr. Floyd’s murder was a fresh footprint.

          OP my only argument is that your focus is too narrow. The circumstances that led to Mr. Floyd’s murder did not come out of nowhere.

          The state I grew up in would create postcards after lynches a few decades ago. That’s the America I know.
