The only person in the world who knows whether Floyd’s death was racially motivated is Chauvin, and if it was, I doubt he’ll admit it anytime soon.
People jumped on to it being a racially motivated killing simply because it was white on black, they made an assumption, and leapt onto the bandwagon with glee.
As fat as the bandwagonjumpers were concerned, white on black was all that was needed to leap to the conclusion it was racially motivated.
It may well have been racially motivated, but nobody, literally nobody, will ever know unless Chauvin confirms it.
The assumption that it was racially motivated brought about the BLM riots in the Summer of 2020.
Both killings were awful, but I would argue the latest one is worse as they set about the poor bloke like wild animals, so should I expect to see further BLM riots over the coming days and weeks over this awful killing? Somehow I doubt it.
