George Floyd: Kanye West Donates $2 Million, Pays College Tuition For Daughter by Nobody: 9:53pm On Jun 04, 2020
Kanye West has made a $2 million donation to support the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, a representative for West told CNN.

The donation includes funding for legal fees for Arbery and Taylor's families, along with black-owned businesses in crisis in his native Chicago and other cities.

West's representative said he established a 529 education plan to fully cover college tuition for Gianna Floyd, the 6-year-old daughter of George Floyd.

West's donation comes in the wake of mass protests across the country following the deaths. Many voices in entertainment are calling for an end to systematic racism, police brutality and action from political leadership.

Three of the Minneapolis Police officers arrested in Floyd's death make their first court appearance Thursday afternoon, as the Floyd family holds the first of several planned memorial services.

Derek Chauvin, the officer who pinned Floyd to the ground by his neck for nearly 9 minutes, was arrested last week and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. On Wednesday, prosecutors charged him with a more serious count of second-degree murder.

Arbery, a black man, was fatally shot while jogging just outside Brunswick, GA., on February 23. Three white men have been arrested in his death.

Taylor was an EMT who was shot at least eight times in March when three officers entered her Kentucky apartment by force. The FBI has opened an investigation into her death.

Kanye West, my favorite rapper, brutally honest, down to earth and a real Niggarrr. I won't be surprised if Trump decides to support him to be American President in the future.

Don't call me stupid it's not impossible... tongue

This is what I Expected..

Not those who are using the death of a Man to do show up! And make people see them as this or that! Or those using his death to loot Injure and kill thereby causing Pains to Others..

If you Really Mean good for George you take Actions that will aid his family to stay alive. His Kids, his Mom and Dad! And his Wife..

The Fact Remains that George is Gone and gone Forever...

Irrespective of the protest, riot or prayers! It has no effect on the Dead..

We the living are the ones who have a Privilege to use these events to put our lives in Order and Ensure that we Turn to JESUS Christ in Repentance, so that should incase we are called home , We will open our eyes in Glory and Shout Hallelujah! I Made it!

That's incredible.
This is what people are expected to have done instead of wasting time protesting and destroying other people's property.
Don't get me wrong, I did not say the Protesting is bad, but not at the expense of Vandalizing other innocent citizens property.

God bless you man of God, a racist is in the highest level of foolishness, cos he neither made himself white or black. and is incapable, of creating any human body parts. but in his folly, he think he is better than the other color, God created one race and that is human race... Most of this foolish folks are most likely atheists
