A conservative black author has dredged up George Floyd’s criminal past to declare he “was not an amazing person” in a live video that has caused outrage.
“There was so much pressure for me to go with the popular opinion about who George Floyd was.
The Trump supporter and vocal critic of the Black Lives Matter movement said she arrived at her stance after “an idea was planted in my head” by American conservative author Shelby Steele. “You would be hard pressed to find a Jewish person who has spent five stints in prison, who commits a crime and dies while committing a crime and that the Jewish people demand justice for.“What I am saying is not any defence for Derek Chauvin. The family of George Floyd deserves justice for the way that he died but I also am not going to accept the narrative that this is the best the black community has to offer.
