      He was a man who sold cigarettes.

      No different from any other man who sold for a living.

      I sold for a living.

      The cartoon on the locker room wall said "Selling is like shaving, you do it every day or you're a bum".

      I think George would have liked that sign.

        I do too. It elevates bums.

          His physical appearance helped the movement. All of god's graces that he had, were towards his physicality. He was a tall, good looking man. Actually to be honest I don't think any of this happens if he's a 5'8" sunken chested wannabe gang banger. He's a loser that looks actually pretty darned good.

            He inspired a civil rights movement? What rights have been added to the constitution? What rights are even being considered? I mean, we defunded a few police departments, but have quickly reversed course… What’s the big win for civil rights and BLM? Honestly curious.

              @LuFins-Dad said in " I join all those who loved him":

              He inspired a civil rights movement?

              He literally did. The effect of the movement is a different question.

              It raises the question of whether the right-side-of-history folk were on the right side of any good history.

                Look at head shots of Barack Obama and George Floyd next to each other and tell me that it's just skin color that separates them.

                  I agree with the above. He certainly didn't deserve to die like he did, but he basically wasn't a good member of society.

                    No, he didn’t. What happened to him was already illegal. He was the victim of a crime, the perpetrators were arrested, tried, and convicted. Where is the civil rights issue?

                      When I say "he did", I only give too much credit to the narrative. I only acknowledge that he is a central component of the narrative.
