Poverty and "bad" neighborhoods are not signs of racism. Some whites are poor and live in bad neighborhoods is that "systemic" racism?
So you're making a case for class differences not race.

So why is he someone who should be called an "angel" now?
Wow. Poor reading comprehension.

Ok tell me what I misunderstood
"When you are dealing with poverty and bad neighborhoods, racism does exist there."

No! Whether he died or not!
But there were people that loved him all the same, and he should have been handled professionally!
No I feel sorry for addicts- especially pain killer addicts! THAT STUFF IS NASTY!
“He’s an angel looking over all of us,” James added, “looking over all these Black kids in the Black community.”
That is all he said. Basically he is saying he's watching over them against "system racism" (whatever that means).
The context is black people and racism in communities, especially inner cities.

Right!!!!
I didn't say people didn't love him I am sure plenty of people did but that doesn't make him a nice guy.
I feel bad for them too more than you know but he should have done what he was told and chauvin never should have been on the streets with all the supposed complaints that were put in against him. A tragedy all the way around.

And poor whites in bad neighborhoods exist so racism is not the answer.

And George Floyd as an angel is going to do exactly what about "system racism"?
Still not understanding.I'll try again.
Do racist cops treat the poor whites in bad neighborhoods the same as the poor blacks in bad neighborhoods the same?
Nothing. It's the same as "prayers and thoughts".

Indeed.

Yes more whites are killed by cops then blacks. And don't try the percentage of population bullshit because blacks are involved in a disproportionate number of crimes related to their percentage of the population.
Indeed. I don't understand why Volsrock would get his panties in a twist over something that is akin to saying, "prayers and thoughts" or "your grandmother is watching over you".
I don't care about the percentage of population bullshit.

Ok great. Then more whites are killed by cops then blacks. The presence of poor whites and bad neighborhoods nullifies the argument that poverty and bad neighborhoods are a product of racism. That should be pretty simple straight forward logic no?
Not what I was saying. I was talking about the cops' (especially the racist cops) treatment of black people in poor neighborhoods. Do they treat the white people in same situation the same or better?

It's one of those stories that really don't make a lot of sense.
You probably heard the story here in Dallas about the lady cop who walked into her lofty apartment, and a Black man was sitting on the sofa, and so she pulled her service revolver and shot him dead.
But, well, except, she was on the wrong floor and it was his apartment! OOPS!

Well AGAIN more whites are killed by cops than blacks. Now if you dont consider being killed bad treatment then I don't know what to say. I suspect however we have very little evidence of how whites get treated because its not a thing on anyone's radar. I dont believe chauvin was a bad cop because he was racist I believe he was a bad cop because he was a power hungry prick. You dont really think chauvin saved the knee on the neck trick for only blacks do you?
