You probably didn’t want to tell your son that those poor and even middle class black kids are also committing many times more crime than white kids, thus having many more police encounters.
Frankly, this is all insane because in the case of George Floyd, he had committed a crime, was whacked out on drugs, and was assaulting officers. The idea that he was “killed” because he was black is quite a stretch.
Even though I know this to be true, I wouldn’t bring it up to my son as he would become defensive about it. He went to college and learned that blacks are oppressed in America, and that we are racists for having a difference of opinion about that.
I absolutely agree about George Floyd. People are misled by the media. His death had nothing to do with his race I am sure.
