Obviously there will be Black people who think differently than other Black people, just as there are white people who think differently than other white people. It's just that those who "think differently" aren't owed any special deference compared to everyone else.

And- and I ask this as a white progressive who tries to be an antiracist- what difference does it make what sort of person George Floyd was before Officer Chauvin murdered him? Nobody was calling him a saint or a hero- all anybody WAS saying was that he was a human being who didn't deserved to be killed.

What would you have HAD people do differently? The uprising had to happen and couldn't have been prevented, and not having an uprising would have been the same as giving up on fighting to stop racist police violence, since it can't be ended simply through mundane voting- assuming Black people are still allowed to vote in every state at the next election. You've insulted every Black person who justifiably fears racist police violence by referring to justified and spontaneous mass protest as "antics".

Nobody made that uprising happen against the will of Black America, and there were no words ANYONE could have said that would have kept it from happening.

Nobody questions your right to your views- but nobody is guaranteed a right to say anything without anyone responding.
