    They think they have a right to kill black people because they think all black people are criminals.

    Makes no difference what they think, when they commit a crime, they pay the price for it. Given that most Nazi scum are shit talkers that never do anything, I’m not overly concerned about them.

    I’m far more concerned with the Antifia’s and BLM’s out there which you seem to be dismissive of. Also, it makes zero difference what their “reason” is. If you set a cop car on fire with them in there, that’s attempted murder. Last time I checked, there’s no excuse for that. George Floyd only became what it was because he was black. which is sad, but true. If a white person with years of arrests, issues with police, thefts and drug charges suffered the same fate as Floyd, nobody would have cared, including white people. This bullshit division between people was planted intentionally, and sadly it’s working. When I was growing up in the 90’s when we allegedly had so many race issues, it was a million times better than now.

      The division you’re talking about has been there since black people were used as slaves. It’s systemic and it was put there intentionally because black people were never thought as equal to white people. Why do you think black people are overwhelmingly targeted by police? Disproportionately put into prisons? Your anecdotal experience of the 90s tells me nothing of well-documented racism against black people and other marginalised groups for decades.

      It was only a matter of time until the anger boile overd. It just happened to be George Floyd’s murder that incited it.
