one of the most baffling things to me is how your average normie in current year considers joking about charlie kirk fair game but joking about george floyd to be going too far.

i had a conversation with somebody i know in real life about this a few weeks ago which started because they showed me a picture of charlie kirk's face photoshopped over an anime character dying and i told them that it wouldve been funnier if it was george floyd instead. they said that it wasn't the same, and when i said why not, since they were both killed unjustly (i dont believe george floyd's killing was entirely unjustified but you cant say that in real life without repercussions ou algo assim), they said the difference was that charlie kirk was a "horrible person" who hated women and minorities and george floyd represented black people getting killed by systemic violence. i brought up the fact that george floyd was on fentanyl and was a drug addict who was stealing from the shop by using counterfeit money (which they said was a lie until they googled it) and that definitely makes him worse than charlie kirk. they began shouting, saying that charlie kirk was an absolutely horrible person before they were interrupted by someone else asking what was going on, prompting us to drop the issue.

i can perhaps understand getting leaky over junko furuta being compared to charlie kirk, but george floyd? this only goes to show how being a nigger exonerates you from all criminality and malevolence in the mind of the average person. if georgey was a white drug addicted ex convicted criminal who tried to steal from a black owned shop, things would be entirely different
