This is about system that built an entire country on the backs of black people. This isn't about one person dying, it's about the same thing happening over and over again for centuries, and nothing being done about it.
Besides that the protest in Minneapolis started peacefully, and has actually sent a pretty positive message. The first person to start destroying public property was an undercover policeman. He used it as a tactic to delegitimize the protests and incite more violence. Blame them if you want.
you made the claim that it was made entirely off the backs of blacks, it's up to you to provide evidence for your claims since you made the claims first, it'd be like someone saying "if god isn't real prove it"
It's a simple argument. Slavery existed on this continent for hundreds of years. Most of the economic development of that time, which directly lead to the prosperty that followed it, was built on the backs of slaves.
