Welcome to Democracy Isham Toray.

And I'm Danielle Moody.

And, you know, I was disheartened but not surprised to see

a statue of George Floyd

in Manhattan be defaced

by some low-life

skateboarder bitch

yeah well he was

moving by on a skateboard

I don't I don't mean to culturally dismiss skateboard Yeah, well, he was moving by on a skateboard.

I don't, I don't mean to culturally dismiss skateboarders in particular,

but this was the mode of transport that he was using as he was moving past the statue.

As if George Floyd hasn't suffered enough, hasn't been hurt enough.

But now there's a memorial to him and you got to throw something on it.

What is wrong with you?

I mean, you have to see him as inhumane, ergo, black people as inhumane, to think he doesn't, either he doesn't deserve a statue or it's okay for me to just throw,

because I don't know that white people are throwing stuff on Dr. King statues, right?

I think that he's presented as like, you know, he's the acceptable Negro that we want them to be,

don't attack his image.

But the George Floyd's, but we also see the Emmett Till sign getting shot up.

It's behind bulletproof glass.

Right.
