You don't hear about a lot of black methheads. The police want to make George Floyd look like one of those rare black guys who uses not only methamphetamine, but methamphetamine and fentanyl at the same time, since it was in his system at the time he died. That's a little but hard to believe, even for a guy with a history of drug use (if there is truth to what people are told about George Floyd's history of drug use) .
Police are as capable of lying as anybody else. Methamphetamine is a drug black people rarey seem to touch though. If something doesn't sound right or add up about what police said about a guy, it's probably not true.

The same girl or guy calling your problems first world is the girl or guy teasing you about being broke, where does all the heartfelt compassion for people in different countries come from? Bullshit people talk straight out of a kids school book about first, second, and third world.

The officer who shot Daunte Wright was a clown trying to juggle weapons. Not everybody was interested in seeing the show though.

A city that ought to be glad to have a feminine sounding name. Named after the German born wife of king George III, the city is named after Charlotte of mecklenburg-sterlitz. If the city had not been named Charlotte, it would have been named after a sexist, and even worse, British male monarch, with a name like Georgetown or George ville, just like every other city, town, or state with such a name. I find Charlotte far less arrogant and much more hospitable, and I am glad that is the name of the city I come from.
Charlotte is the queen city, not the king city, but it's still crown town, who else is crown town? There go the crickets.

Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.
Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse. Sometimes (actually many times throughout history) things were as good as they were going to get, then people were people, and they all fucked it all up. They were all part of the problem.

Refusing to acknowledge negative feelings, any feelings that might make you look bad or get negative attention instead of the attention you want.
