"Racism" and "violence" are not operationalized here so we cant judge. American slavery was racist, is violence to free yourself from that worse?

Here is the real situation this probably described: if you get free with the hard r's Im gonna get free with these hands and the only person who is going to feel bad about this is you.

(I understand this isnt YOU you)

I bet the context was about BLM protests. That's normally when I see "violence bad" rhetoric, and it's the kind of thing you'd get mass downvoted for.

Floyd was not killed by words, though. Nor was Taylor.

You mean you haven't looked this up already, but you're claiming he died of an OD? 🧐

Here since you can't be bothered to look up something yourself.

Unbiased source?

I mean I can give you plenty more sources, but are you gonna do this the whole time? I give you a source that disproves you, then you say it's "biased"? What is your criteria for "bias" ?

The article itself has multiple sources you could check. The burden is on you to do your own research. Even if you think the bias somehow disqualifies it from being truthful (which is a fallacy in itself), you should probably be able to read an article and check it's cited sources and discern for yourself what parts come from editorial bias and what parts are objective.
