On the campaign trail in June 2020, President Joe Biden claimed that Martin Luther King Jr.’s death did not make as much of an impact as the death of George Floyd.

“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said during a campaign event on June 11, 2020.

Biden said that social media videos of Floyd’s death made more of an impact on social justice issues.

As president, Joe Biden spent Martin Luther King Day at home in Delaware as the White House released a pre-recorded video of is on the occasion.

Well, there were global demonstrations about Floyd. That didn't happen when King died.

You wouldn't know.

(No, George Floyd didn't die of an overdose. There were two autopsies and they had their differences, but both concluded that he was asphyxiated.)
 
As for Biden's comment - assuming that really is exactly what he said - I don't see what's objectionable. MLK made a tremendous difference while he was alive and his legacy has continued to do so after his death, but his death itself, although tragic, didn't really change anything. George Floyd's death did.
 
Not a surprise. There wasn't an instantaneously accessible social media spectrum when MLK was living and assassinated. Biden probably also said that in his speech and the OP purposely left that out. The board Trumpettes trim down to their agenda.
 
The black ghetto riots that followed the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. helped get Richard Nixon elected president. The black ghetto riots that followed the death of George Floyd nearly got Trump re elected.

King was a leader of genius. :)

Floyd was ghetto garbage. :mad:

Did the LA riots of 1992 help Clinton get elected?

You’re just plain wrong. The coroner’s report listed the COD as drug overdose. The ME listed it as asphyxiation. Which one Carrie’s more weight? The Coroner or the Medical Examiner? The DEFINITELY did not agree. Facts, attention to detail, they matter!

My best guess is that you got that from one of your usual right-wing sources, among whom that misinterpretation is popular. Here's the whole story: https://blogs.scientificamerican.co...sy-and-the-structural-gaslighting-of-america/

By Monday, June 1, in the context of widespread political pressure, the public received two reports: the preliminary autopsy report by private doctors commissioned by Floyd’s family and—shortly thereafter—a summary of the preliminary autopsy from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. Both reports stated that the cause of Floyd’s death was homicide: death at the hands of another.

Hey FuckTard, you “assume” too frequently. It exposes you for the douche that you are.

Ah yes, I forgot: you don't even read your own links.
If you had read it, you would have seen this:
As was released earlier by the medical examiner’s office, Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.”

There is ZERO to be disputed that the death of George Floyd is so massive a wave that we haven’t even seen it leave the center of the sea yet. So when measuring yester-years, ya gotta give it a chance to even crest first. And that hasn’t.

However, these are not realistically measurable comparables.

MLK - and I’m a white guy - is absolutely one of America’s most greatest baddasses of all time and very much the measure of a quality human being you can only aspire to become anywhere near to as affecting. I just wish I could carry 1/100 as much sensibility and patience in my own pursuits; rather than throw a spaz and shit all over myself.

While the RESULTS of George Floyd might ultimately trip a larger wave to roll and become a greater world than even MLK could achieve in his time? He was a drug addict. That’s not my hero. That’s not MLK. It just so happens that a good majority of us - and yeah, we’re slow - had no idea that in THIS day and age you could have a guy with a badge kill a black dude with his knee in broad daylight, with phones pointed at him recording it all. And still think he can. Let alone oughta.

You might note that the percentage of “non-blacks” in the streets, marching day after day after week after week - all over the fucking world no less, was massive. Enormous. The MAJORITY would march this time. And do so in a very pissed off manner. “Fuck that crap. That ain’t us. Gotta represent US right now properly, even if we cannot understand the plight of the basic black American."

That was the tipping point.

Up until then we’re just learning respect. Respect for MLK. Taking a moment to ourselves to be beyond our own little cage of privilege. But when that fuckwad did that dude dirty like that? That ain’t in MY fuckin name.

So we marched.

And btw, we would NOT have marched - had they not set the precinct on fire that evening. So listen, man - there’s a whole lotta gray in here.

But let me end back on this.

MLK: Possibly the most authentic and fantastic American Citizen to ever be among us.
George Floyd: Drug addict. Spazzing out about the confines of a cop car. Misses his mother in a very endearing (and importantly true) way. A flawed human. Not so flawed as to deserve a lynching in any scenario. But not no MLK.

Recognize the difference. And bank on what you’ve now learned many decades later. Let’s work further towards correct and farther away from wrong, eh?

-peace

The one that went with the trial conviction.

You seem to specialize in crazy lost causes.
 
So, essentially, Biden was right. MLK's life accomplished something, but his death didn't. Floyd's death did.

Right! Jurors NEVER get it wrong. Evidence suggests otherwise but keep believing what the LibTards tell you. You will cuz you’re a government/MSM swallowing child!

MLK was only human, too. He cheated on his wife and plagiarized his PhD thesis. Which doesn't mean he wasn't a hero or anything, but if you're going to bring up George Floyd's shortcomings, fair's fair.

Actually, it's not fair.

No more than it is fair to suddenly be burning Dr Seuss books cuz their's "painted china-men cartoons in there". Is the message lost?

I remember while growing up that my mother used to refer to both her own mother and her father's "Mistress". When she said her father's mistress, she wasn't "bad mouthing" him. It just was what it was. The entire family knew the mistress. Did we all think she was a cunt? Yeah, of course. But he didn't think so. And that's the way it was.

It was a different time. You can't just erase that.

Do we PERPETUATE it going forward?

No. We don't do that. We USE it. That would be the best idea.

My grandfather was fuckin tremendous. He got LOTS of things right. He's also responsible for "seeing" me where the rest of the family could not, including my own mother. I had a champion in him, until he died - and all of that went away with him. Now it was only up to my mother. And she ate dirt without him. My grandfather had built a substantial career that all of us benefit from, cuz of his own astute observations. So he had a mistress to keep his "engine running", in that time - it was to be almost expected.

I'm not a fan of infidelity. It's been my own undoing (from the other end).

But I'm not gonna erase what I know is more important on a scale that benefits others beyond our own family. Did MLK put family first? Maybe not.

Did he fail?

Most definitely NOT.

I'll take that win he gave us all every day of the week. And so should his wife.

Nobody's burning them. The Seuss estate just decided to stop reprinting certain books that have not aged well.
