Ain't nobody till somebody kills you
So a man who had a criminal history suddenly is a Hero 🦸♂️? I know of so many more black people that Changed the World 🌍.... MLK, Ali, Mandela, Tutu, Biko, Malcolm X to name a few ‘ Somehow ‘Floyd is not one ☝️ of them
The person who changed the world is the girl who took the video and post it to expose police brutality nd racism and I'm not justifying what those police offices did...let us give credit whre its due.
Black people have to die in order to change the world.
