I’m not justifying anything. I’m simply pointing out the absurd false equivalence.

I thought the riots were about the abuse inflicted upon George Floyd. Sorry for not being adequately sensitive. I think you're over-reacting a bit and it shows misplaced priorities.

Ah yes the old "i can only remember 1 event at a time" defense

Your accusation lacks the generosity of a benefit of the doubt.

It could be the fact that George Floyd's death triggered the movement, that his character figured centrally in it, and hashtags of his name were the primary symbol of it.

But instead you take the typical high handed approach of the moral elitist movement.
