Would it still be racist if George Floyd was white?

The act of a white cop killing a black man was racist because of the two races.

So if I say something bad to a black man it's racist but if I say the same thing to a white man it's not racist cause I'm white?

So what are you saying? It's not racist just cause one's black and one's white, that's not how racism works

Ok? Why do you assume it was based on him being black?

Negligence. I believe the cop had 16 previous problems (or whatever it's called. I'm not entirely sure but I heard something like that) before this so he should've been fired. He was negligent and so were the people who allowed him to continue such behavior.

Not everything's about race

Yeah, someone said it was about race. So what? What did the officer do that proves it was about race. What did he actually do.

why didn't the three other people try to stop him? why didn't the chief fire him earlier, like after the first problem? NeGlIgEnCe?

Well, he was supposedly killed for having fake money. Let's see, it appears that you can only face the death penalty for trying to use it, buylt he only had it. The punishment for that is prison. Next, let's look at the list of unarmed white men that have been killed for having counterfeit money.
(All this is assuming that he actually did have fake money)

Wait you can face the death penalty for using fake money? 0_0

Is this somehow racist just because their skin colors were different?
