How the hell can he compare a thug like Floyd to MLK.
George Floyd was a wasted of a human being.
MLK fought for a cause.

Trending & News Just like all the other BLM "heroes". None of their deaths should've had any impact. Social media totally blew it up with those BLM bullshit. All of them were convicted criminals! For George Floyd, that cop was wrong. But George was no hero or even respected! He still was a criminal.
I don't know about MLK, but I don't care either.
Joe Biden has a mind?
Agree.. +1. What evidence is there that he had one to start with?

Well to be fair... MLK's death didn't result in six+ months of violent rioting nationwide, and he wasn't really celebrated until well after the fact (about 18 years later when the Reagan administration officially recognized it), while Saint Floyd of Fentanyl was practically canonized by the media within a couple days and there are now marble and bronze statues of him on the streets, and also streets and buildings named after him. This is even though he did exactly nothing that could be feasibly spun as an accomplishment, unlike MLK. That's even after taking the "dark side of MLK Jr" stories into account, he's still far more deserving in comparison.
He is right about the impact regardless of what one man did compared to the other... There was not any social media back then as there is today, which is the reason why Floyd's death was a world wide impact, the entire world knew about it in an instant. Everyone lives in the internet now. It's not about comparing a thug to an honorable man, but simply the fact that the death did cause a bigger impact World Wide simply due to the information being spread more quickly as it happens. Duh. Common sense. Use it.
you got a point
How would you know if Floyd was a thug? You can't just assume that without a source.
Every time someone big like MLK tries to make this world a better place, they end up getting murdered.
As far as I am aware, Floyd was just a citizen. MLK was also a citizen, but he tried to change the world and he did, but at what cost? His life?
I'm guessing Biden assumed that because Floyd's death started a movement, which shouldn't even exist because we blacks too, kill each other as well.
@fjb2021 This Doesn't mean he was a thug. You can do drugs without even being something.
"Didn't he die because he had 3x the lethal limit?" No. He died due to a lack of oxygen. You didn't watch the video of him literally dying, saying he couldn't breathe? A police officer's knee was on his neck, FFS. So saying he died because of drugs and that he was a thug just proves how you're racial profiling.
I hate to disappoint you @Youryeodongsaeng but George Floyd was worst than a thug. aside from doing drugs he was also a robber that even robbed pregnant women at gunpoint. of course is gonna be tough finding the actual source to this because as we know Fact Checkers or should I say "False Checker" already did everything to take down this source from the net
@fjb2021 But how was it all staged? I thought citizens couldn't intervene in arrests.
@CasaNorba But that's not my concern even if he did those things. Was it karma? We don't know because anyone would believe a source without backed up evidence nowadays.
@fjb2021 I believe it was staged too. its hard to noticed since the camera was focus on Chauvin all along but if you look at the ambulance when it arrived you will see that the people who hoped out of it were not even paramedics.
their uniform spoke loud enough and the way they just carried George Floyd and toss his ass on the stretcher and rolled him in the ambulance without giving any sort of first aid seemed a little suspicious
No life is a wasted one.
Lessons and moving the understanding of the human condition forward was a consequence of Floyd’s death has benefited society in a way. “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I disagree with the President. MLK should have more significant distinction than Floyd as he was pivotal in the Civil Rights Era. Entire buses of people disappeared, and Americans were waking to it. King also won the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, Dr. King is more distinguished but not of greater value.
Reflect on the following if you pluck ether man and circumstance into each other’s time and state of technology. In the ’60s, Mr. Floyd would just be another Black man killed by a white cop. Today MLK would still die for a movement he led and leave a legacy of achievement.
Cheers!
"Has he completely lost his little mind?"
No, since you obviously can't lose what you never had.
till then I'm not surprised that he would go as far as saying such nonsense. MLK was a civil right leader who did nothing but fight for freedom in a peaceful and civilized manner. he was also a pastor that used to pray for sick people and help them and their family keep their hopes up.
and wtf did George Floyd do? he was nothing but a lowlife who did drugs and rob people (even pregnant women.) whoever sees this scum of the earth as a hero is just as lost and demented as Joe Biden's old pedophile ass himself.
but yeah think MLK would of definitely be the first president if he remained alive longer; he would of definitely be a true president alright; unlike that fake piece of shit Obama
Democrats killed MLK. MLK was a church going man. Obviously communists would downplay his death and attempt to rewrite history superimposing a crackhead in his place. They've been trying to do that sort of shit constantly for the past several years non stop with all the statue attacks. They have even implemented segregation by race on some playgrounds and in schools. They are widening the scale of their segregation via vaccine passports and shit like that. Obviously MLK's moral lessons conflict with their agenda. They want to erase him from history.
I'm not always agreeing with him but I think Biden could be right on that. Yes George Floyd wasn't a good person to say the least BUT no one cares because he didn't get his fame because of his life but because of his death.
Plus times are different George Floyd's death made the news nearly all over the world.
BLM was founded and it led to a talk about racism and different cultures that was at least comparable to MLK.
The injustice people felt when seeing George Floyd die was comparable to what MLK talked about.
I love comparing white martyrs vs black martyrs.
Like Trump talked about Kate Steinle, martyr of White People. An innocent woman shot dead on a pier in broad daylight by a convicted felon illegal alien with a stolen cop gun.
Meanwhile George Floyd, martyr of black people--petty thug who tried to spend counterfeit money (federal crime by the way) and then collapsed after he downed the drugs he had on him and resisted arrest.
Really says a lot about White people and black people in the USA.
I mean the George Floyd protests reached world wide with up to 26 million people being involved.
MLK did great things and made an impact while alive but George Floyds death made an impact. There wasn't really any outcomes from kings assassination but there was for Floyd.
Yeah Sure he did lol anything to discredit a minister who lead a million man march in peace without violence in the nost dangerous and racist times in the US. Where blacks could not do anything. Thats what you weirdos hate these days christians because they don't support your weird agendas & are mostly conservatives. You liberals are alll half assed backwards & are the true racist.
@Razp_Sorbet, please read my post and share your thoughts. Thanks!
I tend to agree with him actually. How many zoomers have actually heard an MLK speech? How about your average activist group? Dude would be called all kinds of uncle Tom's and coons nor NOT caring about race. Meanwhile its considered racist to not care about a persons race.
https://collectiveliberation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/catalyzing%20liberation%20toolkit.pdf
I mean my God its right there in their literature.
So should a court of Law not be color blind when it comes to meting out Justice?
Biden is special needs comparing an irractic druggy to a great man, who lead a million man march for peace & civil rights & Biden says this? Also the same man who signed bills to put masses of blacks in prison & the same guy who disagreed on giving black kids bus rides during segregation to school. But remember
"Republicans & Trump are all racist" - Clown Liberals
Biden is a dummy being told what to say by his ventriloquists. His administration is screwing over African Americans like everyone else so his handlers want him to give what they think is lip service.
MLK's death marked the end of the initial phase of the civil rights era and is therefore more significant. Floyd is a merely a propaganda figure who will one day be unknown to most people.
You're taking his statement out of context. And just to clarify, I do not like Biden. But he clearly said Floyd's assassination had a bigger WORLDWIDE impact than that of King's, and it's true, it may be a function of how connected is the world today vs. back then. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that Floyd's was a better person or had such a positive impact ask MLK had, but the way he was killed had a profound impact. I'm sure he didn't mean either that Floyd was an exemplary citizen, because he wasn't!
I guess he would know, being the self-appointed King of the Black People and all.

Exactamundo
Where does he say "bigger impact"? Do you think "world wide impact" means bigger or of more importance? I don't have enough context for this. Even if it did, or if he thinks it did: it's not his fault if the impact is or seems bigger, nor does it have anything to do with their impacts upon the world while alive. Obviously MLK was a much better person anyway.
No, your little mind is too overwhelmed to understand the gravity of what he is saying.
Maybe Biden needs to use less syllables and more repetitive language to reach you rednecks, like Trump does.
Derek Chauvin by killing George Floyd released a global movement that not even MLK managed. This is partially due to Internet and global connectivity - not merely the message.
How do you know I am not a black guy who finds the comparison of Floyd to MLK as offensive.
This is coming from the same party who supported the removal of all non-white mascots from food products.
But he isn't technically wrong tho. Because more people reacted violently to his death than MLKs death. It had a devastating impact on communities across the country. Floyd was a nobody PoS compared to MLK, not even worthy enough to kiss Kings feet, but the ultimate reaction from Floyd's death really speaks volumes about the kind of society we live in.
Yup Biden's gone nuts. Martin Luther King was an amazing human rights figure and we all wish he had lived longer. George Floyd didn't deserve to be killed, but he committed a crime and was not a hero. That cop was corrupted, but that doesn't mean every police officer is a racist. If George Floyd had been white in the same situation, he would have been forgotten by now. Black and white people, and all people, ARE EQUAL. I just don't get why this is still such a huge debate. Let's deal with criminals fairly and justly and elect someone with more than 5 brain cells.
The only way in which this is true is A) it is more relevant (because of its recency) and more importantly, B) the reaction and aftermath of George Floyd's death was a forecast for what our culture has become--an explosive release of many years of pent-up anger, on both sides of the political aisle.
So, in that regard, Joe Biden is correct that Mr. Floyd's death is more impactful than that of MLK Jr--just not in the positive way he probably believes it is.
Biden was never sane to begin with. He is literally a bumbling senile old fool no more no less. And George Floyd, while did not deserve death, did deserve life in prison..
To your update, I'd have voted for him..
In reality he is right. When Martin Luther King died very few people knew about it outside the U. S.
George Floyd's death was seen and known by several millions if not billions of people world wide do to our technological advances such as the internet.
That isn't what he said. He was talking about how far reaching information spreads in our current technological environment. Why lie? Is it because you know there is no reason to vote for a republican?
You got it
First of all, Joe Biden is a racist and always has been a Racist.
Second, Joe Biden only has a double-digit IQ. His intelligence is very low grade.
Third at his age, his dementia is setting in, so yes he is losing what little intelligence he ever had.
Biden was just trying to score some political points. George Floyd is no hero, he never did anything useful in his life.
If any so called woke people listen to this idiot then just wow
Orrrr… orrrr. Orrrr…
It had a bigger impact on Biden as he was seeking power when it happened and wants to appease his power base going into midterms.
I doubt history will show it had a bigger impact on the civil rights movement though.
I mean yeah. I voted for the guy but he isn't mentally all there, so I believe it when he puts his foot in his mouth.
Mostly I figured "the car might be missing an engine, but at least it isn't actively driving backwards."
Imagine hyping MLK by dismissing the man slaughter if a black man.
You seem to love yourself the idea of Floyd not getting due process. No matter your opinion of him, if you value equality and our Constitution, you'd understand the irony of your ridiculous rambling.
I understand I took your bait, good job.
George Floyd caused his own death!!!
A jury of his peers seem to disagree.
If Floyd did not encounter Derek Chauvin that day he probably would of died of a Fentanyl overdose anyway. He had more than a lethal dose dose of it in his blood stream the day he died.
"Imagine hyping MLK by dismissing the man slaughter if a black man."
Imagine trying to prove a point about race by invoking a racist statement that ignores what MLK even stood for.
George Floyd didn't deserve to die, but he wasn't killed. He overdosed on fentanyl. His race had nothing to do with his own death; his abuse with drugs did.
You're comparing someone who had voluntarily ingested a lethal dose of Fentanyl to someone who has terminal cancer not by choice?
Your logic is nonexistent!!!
Ok now that is just bad. MLK was a hero who actually tried to help. Mr. Floyd didn't do anything but go to sleep in a drive through and die. I don't think theirs any comparison to be made their
Are you f*cking serious? 🤬 The woke mob is insane.
Joe B is probably right. George Floyd's DEATH sparked the BLM movement. Martin Luther King's LIFE sparked the Civil Rights movement; his death was not as important as his life.
World-wide impact at the time, my doofy friend. There were literally protests all over the world because of the George Floyd murder.
George Floyd caused his own death!!!
Don't do stupid things and bad things won't happen to you!!!
See it like this: if a white guy was walking into the store and he decided “fuck it, ima steal something” then the cops caught him, the cops wouldn’t have killed him cuz he’s white. They’d take him down to the station and listen to him, cuz he’s white.
But when a black person is doing something slightly wrong or something the police don’t like, we get killed. Because we’re black.
Now get your head out of your ass and open your eyes god gave you for good use
George Floyd was a violent criminal.
I have no pity on people like him.
99.99999999% of violent black criminals don't get killed by cops.
So your scenario of cops killing blacks doesn't stack up.
How many of those 37 were violent criminals?
Take that number as a percent of VIOLENT CRIMINALS.
Then do the same for other races.
And then break down the number of total violent criminals by race then compare.
Don't forget. The percent of VIOLENT blacks is disproportionate to other races.
Learn to correctly read and compare stats!!!
* sigh* Ignorant 14 year old black Boi!!!
MLK would have been America's first Black US President and I agree on George Floyd's case was not in any way worst than MLK's. But my deep sympathy goes to both persons and the tragedy their families go through. What happen to both was horrible
25 million people turned out just in the US to protest the death of Floyd and the bigotry it exposed. There were similar protests all across the world.
He wasn't comparing the men, he was comparing the reaction to their deaths.
Do you just sit in front of the tv, and scroll social media trying to find things to anger you?
Stupid shot like this deserves the anger!
His mind was gone before he even reached the inauguration point.
It wouldn't be the first retarded thing this dumbshit said. Just watch the slow moving train crash and enjoy the ride, my guy.
In a sense, that’s true. I think Floyd’s death was what brought about impact, while it was MLK’s life, and not his death, that effected change.
So I personally thought the world had already established that he's lost his mind.
Only had a bigger impact because of media.
Looking at it in reverse, what if we had the "Social media" we have now back when MLK was alive?
Did he ever HAVE ONE to begin with?
IF the elites would've allowed it to happen, I think King would've been President at least as far back as the early `80's.
Biden and the whole democrat party has lost it. There like that person that should never be in charge that always thinks they should be in charge. In charge
Ooo dear biden president is talks... 👏🏻🙌🏻
He still looks very young. I think he drank the elixir of youth. Although we are young, we look worse than him. 😏
Straw man. He wasn’t comparing their worth as people, he was comparing the reaction to their deaths.
@snowboarder720 im saying it's two different eras and Biden is an idiot and George Floyd has nothing to do with Civil Rights.
Nobody is saying that though 😂
@snowboarder720 Biden Did
Okay buddy 🤣
@snowboarder720 go listen to the video and stop ignoring what was said to fit your circus agenda pal
Try taking your head out of Biden’s ass and understand what I’m saying 🤣🤣
@snowboarder720 i would never support Biden
if you listen closely to the video you can hear a black woman agreeing
I think it might he true. MLK's change didn't come because of his death. His death did not make his actions more influential.
How has it taken this long for people to realize his mind is in shambles. He has literally had parts of his brain removed in surgery multiple times.
Nobody should take sleepy Joe seriously.
He "LOST HIS MIND" many years ago... and it won't get better... thts why they keep him off of the news
Lol democrats hate mlk which party do you think was passing all those jim crow laws. Hell many are the same people let alone the same party
MLK didn't die for a cause, he was assassinated like malcolm X.
And biden never had much of a mind to speak of.
Why do people literally pick apart every thing Joe does and Dumb ass trump was it office and every body turned a blind eye to all the stupid shit he's done
George Floyd is a criminal. It is a shame that the American radical extremist left has turned him into a hero. But the left-wing idiots just do their best every day to prove to us that there is no bottom.
It's possible in an objective sense that Floyd's fentanyl overdose could eventually have a bigger historical impact than MLK's.
Trump, once awarded medals to native americans, in front of a picture of andrew jackson
i don't think it was on accident
He lost his mind a long time ago. That's why he's rarely allowed to speak without a teleprompter or answer questions from reporters.
Any this isn't even the dumbest thing he's said
You seem to have misunderstood the quote. He said DEATH, not life.
lol I can't wait to see how his supporters scramble to justify this.
George Floyd's death did have a bigger impact because the left used it as a political tool to much bigger effect. No question.
