What would your reaction be if George Floyd was a white man? (Page 3)

[Dragonpurple]

Same as black, I don't care about race... that need not matter.

[cth96190]

If George Floyd had been a white man none of us would know his name.

[anylolone]

Same. There's plenty of white druggies killing themselves every day.
Frequently they also make a scene and have to be detained with force and die of overdose in the process.

[allaboutyou2]

Unless you are racist, the reaction should be the same. If he were white I would still say that it was unnecessary but also that he should not have resisted arrest.

[WhiteWolf69]

My reaction would still be the same. My reaction has nothing to do with his race. My reaction has sole to do with the behaviors he exhibited and the choices he made in his life that's it.

What would your reaction be if the officer was black?

[KrakenAttackin]

No one would care.

[Janessa2021]

Yes they would and he'd be in jail without question as he should be

[drexel420]

Uh no he'd perfectly fine no charge except maybe misconduct or maybe manslaughter but I doubt it. CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING HEAR HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED IN THE CARE OF THE OFFICERS

[Janessa2021]

@drexel420 uhhh no he wouldn't be perfectly fine , especially if he's charged with manslaughter 🙄. Everyone would not have to do a worldwide March for him either just to get a trial

[exitseven]

I would say the same thing, just another dirtbag killed by police, no great loss.

[Anonymous]

Violent thug dies
In either case it was a good thing but how it was done was the bad part, should have just pulled his gun and put a bullet or two in his head

[V12NI]

It actually happened with the white guy and the cops even made fun of him while he was dying, but no one knows about that story because he was white.

[Anonymous]

Simple... he never would have been arrested or detained... white privilege you know how it is

[LostYahooAnswersUser]

I wouldn’t have cared tbh. I don’t think anyone would’ve even known who he was

[DeltaCharlieEcho]

I’m a white man and had a cop call for backup and pull a gun on me, explain that one you stupid bitch.

[Jackblue]

None because the media would not have reported his killing.

[DarcRefractions]

the white George Floyd is Death of Kelly Thomas of Los Angeles

[888theGreat]

We would not know his name. There would have been no trial. The cops would have been promoted , not fired.

[Ryfyle]

Well Daniel Shaver was shot dead on the ground, and the cop that murdered him got off scott free. So it really is a race issue.

[loveslongnails]

No difference. Nor would it have mattered if the cops were all black.

[ManHater]

lol see white people don't roits and burn down cities.

[grega239]

It happened. His name was Tony timpa. Didn't hear about it

[Sasahara]

The same as it was in IRL where he is black, if I heard about it.

[Sabretooth]

no different. it's all selfishness. granted, we wouldn't see protests... but that's it. racist saw only a criminal and not the larger issue.

[MDollarBill]

If he'd committed the same crimes, I'd be thinking he got what was coming to him. (Whites almost never defend a criminal just because he is white.)
