Biden claims Martin Luther King's assassination had less impact than George Floyd's Death

Although the Twitter link is posted in the Political Picture Thread, this new thread was drafted to provide a means for comments to not derail the active political picture thread.


Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, said Thursday afternoon that the death of George Floyd in police custody is having a more significant worldwide impact than even the 1968 assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Biden Says George Floyd’s Death Had Bigger Global Impact Than MLK’s Assassination

Biden suggested cellphone videos have dramatically impacted long-held beliefs related to accusations of police brutality.

As repulsive as it is to compare Floyd against MLK, the statement being made is true. It is having more global impact.

One thing I agree with Biden on. He’s right can’t dispute the facts. As much as I hate him and what’s happening(not the challenging of racism)

Nothing a good ol POS Democrat would let go to waste... Tragedy = Opportunity to invoke useless dribble to try and make a point. But Biden is really shot, he's gone... Imagine what's going on without scripted speeches and teleprompters!? Lmao

I disagree.

Floyd was just the incident du jure. It could have been anyone, and if it wasn't Floyd on that day it would have been someone else on some other day soon.

The entire country was primed for this.

MLK on the other hand was unique. There weren't any other people in the country whose death would have had that effect.

Whose life would have gone on to impact more people had they both lived ...

While I agree King was a more important person( not sure if that’s the right way to say it because everyone’s important) I think the death of Floyd will ultimately bring about more change for a few reasons.
more people today hate cops
More people are unemployed and just angry
More people just want to loot and teach things
More people are against racism. Not a bad thing by the way.
