"the ruthless murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd [...] the racial profiling, the inequality and senseless murdering of people of color [...]"

that's what the fuck I'm talking about

I really appreciate that he's specifically calling out murders, instead of some of the more vaguely worded statements. Fucking rights, 'Melo, fucking rights.

For some reason, up until this moment, I though DeMelo was black.

That aside, again a great great statement that calls out specifically the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, among other people of color, and the systemic and deep-rooted nature of racial profiling and racial inequality.
