It's been pretty firmly established that America is a very racist country. The George Floyd murder was in fact America's declaration to the rest of the world that it had chosen racism for the way forward in the foreseeable future.
Any claims of this sort by blacks against America's police has already been given a leg up for credibility.
This is a huge brush you're painting with and in logical debates, this premise would be thrown out as illogical. You're in essence throwing the baby out with the bath water. What Derek Chauvin did was reprehensible and absolutely wrong that he ignored the physical condition of Floyd. However, Chauvin's actions do not speak for the entirety of police or "White America".
It's not for America's black people to prove they're victims of racism, it's for white Americans to start trying to prove they're not.
This premise is wrong as it hinges on your above premise which is also illogical. But, there are millions of white's and blacks that co-exist every single day with no sign of racism or actions of racism.
The current need to take down monuments to slavery in America, isn't helping those whites who try to deny.
I think the true premise is "There are racists in this country, and all over the world, how do we remove the racists"? There are racist actions all over the world by individuals. Do those individuals define that country or the "race" or sub-culture of that demographic? Certainly not. There are millions and millions of muslims that live peacefully all over this world and want nothing more than to coexist with everyone. Not ALL Muslims are terrorists. Your premise if flawed by defining the majority by the actions of a few, a very small few.
