Please do not paint white people or Police with the same brush. It disgusts me to see what was done to George Floyd and I think those involved in his death should be charged with murder.😡

There is literally nothing helpful about a statement like this.

You know, saying shit like this ain't going to get you a next role in movies.

Wait a minute. What about the racist black people? Does he dislike them at all or just the white ones?
