Because Twitter can be a neverending wasteland of “What the f***,” it comes as no surprise that white America has lost its mind regarding opining about disgraced ex-cop Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict in the George Floyd murder case.
*Side note* It’s ok just to shut the f**k up and let Black folks have this much-needed moment.
So as white leaders, sports teams, Karens and Chads center themselves and posture like justice was served, here’s a fresh batch of today’s f***ery and foolishness.

Just when I thought Nancy Pelosi couldn’t shuck and jive around Blackness and Black lives– she upped the ante.
As if serving arthritic knees and kente cloth in June last year wasn’t insulting enough, Pelosi held a press conference to weigh in on Chauvin’s guilty a**.
#neverforget
Apparently, Pelosi lost her rabid a** mind when she parted her wafer-thin lips to “thank” Floyd for “sacrificing” his life at said press conference.
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice,” she said. “For being there to call out to your mom—how heartbreaking was that? Call out for your mom, ‘I can’t breathe.’”
“But because of you and because of thousands—millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice.”

The daft statement indeed earned Pelosi the well-deserved smoke she went looking for when the utterance left her foolish mouth.
Social media users flamed the shriveled octogenarian.
Oh man. Not the tone. He was murdered, he did NOT volunteer to be a martyr.

@SpeakerPelosi has got to be the most out of touch, vile piece of human trash for even thinking this was remotely the right thing to say.

But oh no– white America wasn’t done trolling us.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ Twitter fingers raised Pelosi’s speech and doubled down on the dumb sh**.
“I can breathe,” the official account for the loser squad penned. And for good measure, they pinned it.

Obviously, the dimwit or dimwits that thought this was a good idea need to lose their job. Somebody approved that bullsh**. And someone’s head needs to roll. This is a clearcut case of “come getcho mans.”
Twitter users sounded off about the idiotic tweet.

It was this tweet for me that made it plain how asinine the Raiders’ tweet is.
Bro not only will they not take it down, they pinned it.
And check this out so no one misunderstands what they mean https://t.co/HRbcqqnJcp

I know there will be more diarrhea of the mouth and fingers from white America regarding justice, Black people, George Floyd and this verdict in the days to come.
But just know– that’s it’s ok to sit down and keep quiet. And this is one of those times, white America.
