    It irritates me to see all this rage over the murder of a grown man when there are children who have been murdered.

    I know, right?! 12 year old Tamir Rice was murdered within
    two seconds by a cop, even though the person who called the
    police on him said that he thought the toy gun he was playing
    with was a toy, and that Rice was a child.

    It's not the first time a white person has killed a black person,

    Nope. We've been doing it for 500 years.

    but it was an opportune time for Democrats.

    What heartless tripe. Do you have no compassion?

    Don't even need to bother. Just show a video of
    Charlottesville with Donald Trump's voice talking
    about "very fine people on both sides" superimposed.

    Or just show a video of Trump babbling about the
    economy and how George is smiling down.

    These things are only racist if you interpret them that way. It's better to keep a positive attitude, and to give people the benefit of the doubt.

    Besides, what difference does it make to prove a point of somebody being racist? Has Trump taken any adverse action on any racial group as president?
    I haven't seen that yet.

    Hello Dan,

    "Joe Biden cares about blacks." <play video of Biden at the funeral> >AT>"Donald Trump wasn't there." <play video of Trump playing golf>
    "So this November, elect the only person who cares about blacks." <photo >AT>of smiling Joe Biden.>
    Is that the kind of video that is to be shown?

    Don't even need to bother. Just show a video of
    Charlottesville with Donald Trump's voice talking
    about "very fine people on both sides" superimposed.

    The focus should be on the life of George Floyd, not Donald Trump.
    After all, it is a funeral service, celebrating the life of a man who
    was brutally murdered, for no reason, by four cops.

    Or just show a video of Trump babbling about the
    economy and how George is smiling down.

    Again, it is not about Donald Trump. And should never be turned
    into such. It is about the life of a man who is missed by family,
    relatives, friends, and an entire nation.

    Or any number of other stupid racist things Trump has said.

    There were three funeral services for George Floyd, in three
    different cities, as those cities were his places of residence
    during his brief 46 years on this dirtball we call Earth.

    All of those funeral services were about celebrating and honoring
    the life of a man who should still be alive today. It is not about
    others, including those who took his life or even the president.

    George Floyd, RIP
