Sympathy

Something you don't have for somebody you never met before. You don't care about somebody you never met, because you don't even like somebody you never met.

You have to have met somebody at least once to even know if you like them, let alone feel any other way about them. You don't feel sympathy for a guy you don't even know, and if you say you do, no matter what you tell everyone else, there is no deceiving yourself about the matter, no matter how desperately you try. George Floyd's trial has become people that never even met the guy pretending to feel things nobody would feel for somebody they never met, if they were honest with themselves.

selfish sympathy

Regretful soothing words dat you administer to someone else to supposedly make him feel better about a situation, but in reality you merely feel sorry for YOURSELF.

A classic "selfish sympathy" example, from an old "Peanuts" comic:

Schroeder, in exasperation at Lucy's pushy "over-attentiveness": Do you know what Beethoven never had?!
Lucy: What?
Schroeder, rantingly waving his arms above his head: Beethoven never had girls hanging on to his piano and bugging him about giving them presents!
Lucy, mildly shocked: He DIDN'T?! (pauses to ponder this fact) Poor Beethoven!
