It needs to be stated that what we're witnessing now is a culmination of several years of highly-publicized racist acts from the police and average citizens in this country, and those acts being filmed and consumed by an awoken black youth on social media. It's Mr. Floyd, it's Trayvon, it's Ahmaud, it's Botham, it's Breonna Taylor, it's Tamir Rice (the worst one IMO), it's the countless Karen flare ups, it's the birtherism, it's the confederate flags that have popped up in my Dallas suburb the last few years, it's the inability to read a comment section on Youtube/Yahoo without seeing racist trolls, it's being called "nigger/monkey" on XBOX Live by trolls, it's the racial disparities in disaster relief/farm bailout, and it's all the other racist shit black people get hit with on a daily basis in this country. This is a protest about racism in America, Mr. Floyd's death was just a tipping point.
