Personally I believe Chauvin was a bigot more so than a racist. He treated perceived criminals with intolerance. I would venture to guess if we saw his arrest record we’d see many white arrests and probably many of those done with excessive force. He was extremely prejudiced and appeared to have a superiority complex. I would venture to guess he felt superior to everyone except cops. The choke hold he administered was probably done thousands of times across the country with no resulting deaths. In this case it appeared that Chauvin was showing that he had absolute power over what he perceived to be a low life criminal. Sadly it all went south. Given that the suspect was black it gave rise to some legitimate concers but more so to the well-known opportunists – Sharpton, Antifa, AOC, etc. They turned a bigot who used excessive force into a racist for their own purposes. Do you realize everyone reading this thread could be considered a racist? We all have our prejudices. I hate people that take advantage of older people. If one of those that take advantage is black, Asian or Hispanic does that make me a racist? After all I did say hate. I hate rapists and child molesters, I wish they would all rot and suffer in prison for the rest of their lives. If any of them are black, Asian or Hispanic does that make me a racist? Again I did say hate. It’s so easy to throw around words when they suit a person’s agenda. I would love to see how much Sharpton’s and Antifa’s bank accounts rose since this incident began.
