This take is nonsensical. People don’t bring up George Floyd’s past when discussing him because it isn’t relevant to the circumstances of his death. When people protest or talk about him, they’re focusing on the way he died and how cruel it was.

In contrast, Hulk Hogan was a racist. What he said on that tape was blatantly racist. When discussing his life and legacy, it’s relevant to bring up a racist rant he made as an adult, especially when he was already famous.

No one is suggesting George Floyd was a role model. That’s not the point.
