George Floyd Protest/Riots

Problem with your post is most bleeding hearts never think of White people as immigrants, only people of color. Most think we came over on the Mayflower, killed all the indians, and all owned slaves.
My ancestors couldn't have afforded slaves. They were concerned with their own survival.
 
Not 200 years ago. 60 years ago. Within a human lifetime.

Ok, you still act like it was 10 years. 60 years ago is 2 generations that have grown. You think these last 2 generations are racists, which is complete bs. You're buying into a completely false accusation and lie just to push a social marxist agenda.

Looking back through my history my family would have come closer to working on a plantation than owning more than one horse or mule . My dad and my aunts / uncles were share croppers/ loggers/ and they cut wood for the stills around the area owned by wealthy white guys . My grandfather went to prison ( Parchman ) Mississippi’s state prison farm , because he was cutting wood for a mans still and he wouldn’t tell them who owned it so they said it was his .
 
Nope, you're act as if 100 hundreds of blacks are being killed daily by police. Your false narrative is a ignorant.

Does "false narrative" mean narrative I'm not making, in this case? Lol. Haven't said anything remotely resembling this position

There is a 1 minute video of Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, kneeling and sobbing at George Floyd's casket.

Does anyone believe this man was overcome with emotion?

I believe he is putting it on for witnesses and cameras.
I can't imagine he's "no ways tired" enough to have to take a knee.

doesn't seem credible but maybe it's for all the turmoil and realization some on City Council are wanting to dismantle (err, I mean "reform") the MPD.

There were rumors of protests in an affluent suburb of Birmingham and miraculously most of the shops in the downtown area put up BLM signs; even on their back doors that went to the alley. Hmmm, kinda like putting an FOP sticker on your bumper.

It’s nauseating. I believe that’s real emotions about as much as I believe my crazy ass ex would kneel down and sob at my casket . Politicians have no shame .

I'd say it's very feasible he was overcome with emotion. I'd say it's unlikely that it was 100% because of Floyd. Hell, I'd probably do the same if I were in his position.

Well, here's the dilemma. K town describes it as a universal truth. Which it isnt. Therefore his characterization is flawed.
You nuance the characterization by moving the boundary to "in this country". I will gladly acknowledge there are truths we live that other countries do not. But is it always true, here?.
Here's what we need to reconcile for your position to hold truth; if a black citizen hung a black politician in effigy is it 100% a racist message. Are black citizens incapable of making a political message with it?
Are we not discussing American politics? In America it is unquestionably racist.

Because of what happened as a result of his killing? Like what Bham was alluding?

Yes. Going to a funeral of someone you've never met and kneeling in front of their casket to cry about your own problems is a totally normal thing to do.
