Kneeling of some Democrat to honour Floyd was not out of place and it is commendable. The poser that readily comes to mind is Floyd was not the only black killed by white supreamacist. It was an often occurrences during the time of Mr Obama.
Why are the Democrat behaving saint than the pope? Trump should be careful with his utterance. Rest in Peace George Floyd!

The problem with many people that are posting are just writing nonsense


These people do not understand , They have successfully guaranteed an even bigger majority of the black vote even though they havent done anything i can see to earn it ,

Thats why people that are saying they are doing for black votes should leave such discussions to those of us that know the facts

The reason why the Democratic party will have an even higher percentage of black votes has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Donald Trump has caused the increase in support for them.

Let me explain using an analogy you can understand

let me use this as example if there were Nigerian presidential elections tomorrow and Buhari was one of the candidates , how many igbos would vote for Buhari?


do you now understand how blacks in America view him , just as igbos will vote for Buharis opponent simply because they would want Buhari out that is exactly the reason why they will vote democrat

Thats why I say some of you dont know what you are talking about , you are posting about the democratic party as if you think black Americans are voting for them as because of this or that

They hate Trump as much as Igbos hate Buhari , he has spent the whole of his term in office abusing them so he can appeal to his base

Trump and the Republican party arent trying to get black votes , they arent trying to waste time or money

The protest has resulted in looting containers,
How can blacks in America steal in Broad daylight? Loot people's goods worth millions of dollars?
And people are saying black lives matters?
How does your life matter when you are a theif?

The protest was a bait for daylight robbery.

Black Live matters my foot, when you can't respect yourself, how do you matter?

Black lives will matter when you stop stealing,

Kindly explain the essence of the Kente they are putting on. Reeks of fakeness

They have the kente on as a symbol of African identity.
This is a statement , because blacks are systemically being killed like dogs in America especially by the police. Blacks lives don’t matter in America.

Because of it’s uniqueness and beauty and it’s African origins , African Americans have chosen kente as a symbol of African identity ever since Kwame Nkrumah showed up in the US in kente after Ghana’s independence.

Kente is today used by African Americans occasionally and especially by graduating students as stoles.

Kente is a colourful and beautiful African fabric with endless beautiful and unique design patterns now used widely in Africa and would eventually become a symbol of African identity.

what economic damage?..what are you saying ?...how have this damaged the economy?


When i said they were the biggest riots for 70 years , you posted the amount of people that died in ariot in the 90s

What Im telling you is the west when they saY one riot is bigger than another , they information they use does not include human life

what they look at is how much money will it cost to repair any damage , how much money was spent in policing the riots , how many people were involved , how many plac es did they riot

you posting how many people died is irrelevant because they do not look at loss as life when discussing how big or small a riot is .

We read lots of unnecessary meaning into this
Recognizing that African-Americans are being brutalized is a huge act of truthfulness & humility
Then kneeling and with an African symbol is to show respect.
Guy, this nothing bad
Have you ever seen a Nigerian politician kneel to apologize for his own wrong talk more another person's?
Mehn, let's commend them and then condemn them if they don't make good legislation to curb this evil racism

Photo OP... why the kente cloth, is George a Ghanaian? Oops, I forgot it’s an election year, blacks vote are needed again...
Enough of this pandering by these establishments, kneeling, black out squares won’t stop racism
Nancy kneel but needed help to stand up, too bad she ought to relinquish her position as house speaker
80 years old - 33 years in national politics and she’s blaming trump

Nancy - 17th term as a congressman
Trump - 1st term as a president


He has done 3 things that’ll make black Americans be on a level playing field with other races

Historical Funding of HBCU
historical black employment
The first Step Act

And immediately after Floyd’s death, before the protests he directed FBI and DOJ to get involved Incase the cop escape state law, he won’t escape federal law... I bet you don’t know all this cause you’ve been programmed to hate on the man

When ANTIFA hijacked the riot, what did he do? He declared them domestic terrorist, rolled out NATIONAL GUARDS into the street and called governors to maintain law and order... did you see anything like riot since then?

And for your info, the wall he’s building will help Africa cause if humans are still allowed to cross the southern border illegally, there are high chances that Latinos (Central America & south America) will pass through this routes than Africans will. are you willing to fly to Mexico to be transported through the southern border by cartels ? This has helped blacks community in America because an employer will rather employ an illegal alien that’ll be paid below the minimum wage, use for odd jobs and that he’ll be able to dismiss arbitrarily ( which led to increase in black employment) but I don’t know why your brain has been programmed to hate on him... follow another news source apart from CNN... it’ll help

I wish to ask what Obama did during his 8 years to curb racism but I won’t grin

PS- I didn’t formulate the 5th paragraph (Was and immigration) on my own before you masturbate unnecessarily on my post, a black American explained that to me


I’ll reply sensible mentions but y’all calling me names for having an opinion... well it’s a free world, You can call me what you want

Democrats are becoming despicable hypocrites. Instead of forming laws to end this racist police brutality issue which has been on for years they are kneeling down for 9mins to win votes and then we are back to same shit. Very inspiring hypocrisy.

well am suprise that cnn and democrat have not told you what have been done to curd black killing in america. 1. the officers in charge were sacked and face justice which of the first time such thing is happening after a black man was killed in US. dont forget there were such killing during Obama & biden administration but they did nothing. 2. he has signed an executive order to make all races in america in irrespective of gender, race or color equal in america.3. Minnesota, the state the murder occurred is a democrat state, the police officer that killed is a state controlled , in other word democrats are the one killing blacks and they are coming to the media to blame president Trump. black people your real killer are democrat.

I am a very strong supporter of black lives matter and I hate racism in all ramifications.................................... BUT when I sat back and watch the video in which Floyd was killed, something just tell me that in this whole murder episode, something is not just right..,......... If you watch carefully you will realize that the senior police officer intention & purposely wanted to kill Floyd, he press his knee on his neck and then relax there comfortably despite the plea from the junior officer to roll him (Floyd) over............................... And there was a person who video the whole episode without blinking and he wasn't even interrupted by any officer before and after the man's death and the camera man was not even hiding to film, but was right there in front of the policemen filming...................... And I just discovered that the policeman and Floyd were co-workers (as a bouncer).


I am not investigator or acted in that capacity before but something is fishy about this,, this might be more than racism, there might be a larger picture here ........................................... Come to think of it, this is an election time and this is a Democrat state with a state controlled police force.
We all know that Floyd had criminal past and he is a former porn star, a perfect foil and a perfect choice of target to kill a get away with by his friends/police officer........ And we also know that if you kill a black man live on camera, there will be a national racism protest,..... We also know that this is a time of pandemic and everyone is free and there will all be at home, no school, no work, job losses, unemployment etc a perfect foil for national protest and disaster...................... with all this points, I don't know what you feel oooooo, but I feel that there is a strong conspiracy here by politicians who carried out a perfect plan for 2020 election...... That senior policeman might be an agent sent to kill Floyd who happens to be an innocent sacrificial lamb to bring about national unrest,.... Believe me, the 3 junior officers are innocent, they are only be used by their Superior...... As for the camera person, he might be an agent i.e paid to video the incident or might not be an agent i.e an ordinary citizen who was freely allowed by senior policeman to video the incident, in order to post it online for the world to see.. believe me, America police that I know will collect cameras and phone from everyone videoing that incident especially as that man died.......... Let me ask this question, "of all the racist killing by police in America, which of the incidents was clearly video by anyone from A to Z with clean shot and posted online for the world to see?" ........... There is more to this than meet the eyes.

If I were Trump, I would have ordered FBI to take over that case for proper investigation......... Investigate the person that call the police, investigate that divisional police office and inspector, investigate the camera man and investigate the senior policeman.

All these linkages is not a coincidence.

Rubbish primary school naive analysis. Obviously you have no clue about what this is all about.
First, you have to know and understand the history of police brutality and how Trump has downplayed and tried to dilute the conversation over the years.
Secondly, after this recent incident, he also tried to do tha same by calling all protesters thugs and using unmarked military men to clear peaceful protesters from the front of the WH.
Antifa hijack the protests? So far 2 whites racist idiots have been arrested with plans to bomb and incite racial war, I'm sure you didn't hear about that or just don't care to include that in your diatribes.
Too early to be wasting my time typing a long response.
You need to watch other sources of real news instead of faux entertainment channel.

Obama called Baltimore protesters thug also, i didn’t see the outrage, one of the 2 men caught was an airforce and the other a self confessed white supremacist, so don’t lecture me on nothing you know nothing bout... I don’t even watch Fox News anymore for your info

All these kids on NL who are so naive from just living in America for a few years.... grin grin grin
Yeah you are right, what do I know about anything.
I have only voted in the last 8 US general elections and have been on the right side of the victors about 7 out of 8 times.
Yeah what do I know, I have only lived and seen everything they are protesting about just for about 35 years good years. Yeah but what do I know, I have never seen a US president call NFL players sons of bitches and try to change the narrative around Police brutality by bringing up the flag and the military. Yeah but do I know, I only have family members in the US military who understand that this protest has nothing to do against the flag or the military but about what it is -POLICE BRUTALITY.
What do I know about a president that encouraged Police to bang the head of suspects against Police cars.
Oh what do I know about the US president using the military to brutalize peaceful protesters in front of the WH....I mean, what do I really know?
I can go on for days on the miss steps of Don the Con on Police issues but I have better things to do.
I missed the days when American President stand what is right and are respected around the world as the bearer of moral and ethical standard for the rest of the world.
But what do I know....I only know to vote out this dotard orangutan come NOV 3rd 2020. So help me God.
