‘St. George Floyd’ getting his own Hollywood flick; are they rewriting history?



Hollywood has greenlit a George Floyd biopic titled "Daddy Changed the World," which will be “produced” by the BLM martyr’s 10-year-old daughter alongside her mother.

“There’s no end to the celebration, veneration, hero worship of St. George Floyd — to the point they’re going to make a movie,” Jason Whitlock of "Fearless" says to Shemeka Michelle.

“I’m just trying to figure out what George Floyd did besides die,” Michelle says, adding, “What did he do with his life, prior to laying on the ground? I just think they’re trying to change the narrative.”

Before his death, Floyd had been convicted of robbing and beating a pregnant woman at gunpoint, which Michelle believes is important to the narrative that’s being cleaned up and resold as the story of a martyr.

“I remember being robbed at gunpoint some 20-something years ago, and I can remember some time after the person that robbed us was shot and killed, he was not a hero to me. And so I feel bad for the woman who had a gun held to her stomach by George Floyd, anybody else that had to deal with him being a menace to society. I feel bad for them,” Michelle says.

Whitlock believes changing the narrative so blatantly has implications that reach far beyond just George Floyd.

“It makes me say, did Emmett Till, have they lied to us about this story? Did Emmett stick his hands up this woman’s pants? Is there something they’re not telling us?” Whitlock says. “I tend to think not, but when I’m watching history being recreated in real time, what else are they lying about?”

Because Floyd was a convicted criminal who had drugs in his system at the time of his death, Whitlock also is unsure what they could possibly put in the movie besides his death.

“There's eight minutes he’s on the ground, and other than that, what are they going to show, him smoking crack? They’re going to show him buying counterfeit bills? They’re going to show him robbing people?” Whitlock asks.

“What message are they trying to send to young black men or just black people in general? Like, your greatest accomplishment is dying and particularly if you die at the hands of a white person?” he adds.

George Floyd's family threatens to sue Kanye West for $250 million after rapper's comments about Floyd's cause of death, claims Floyd's daughter is 'retraumatized'



The mother of George Floyd's daughter has threatened to file a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West after the rapper's controversial statements about the cause of Floyd's 2020 death.

What are the details?

Witherspoon Law Group and Dixon & Dixon Law Offices in a Tuesday press release characterized the suit as "forthcoming" and indicate that Roxie Washington — the mother of Floyd's underaged daughter — has retained the firms "to file [a] lawsuit against Ye West, also known as Kanye West ..."

The firms state that West and his business partners and associates are liable for harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress.

TMZ said West has been criticized for claiming on the "Drink Champs" podcast that Floyd "died from a fentanyl overdose and pre-existing conditions, instead of Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck."

TMZ said it obtained a copy of a cease and desist letter to West, which reads in part that "Mr. Floyd’s cause of death is well-settled through evidence presented in courts of law during the criminal and civil trials that were the result of his untimely and horrific death. Nevertheless, you have maliciously made statements that are inaccurate and unfounded, causing damage to Mr. Floyd’s estate and his family."

The law firms added that Floyd's daughter has been "retraumatized" by West's statements, and that West is "creating an unsafe and unhealthy environment for her."

The cease and desist letter also demands that West remove the "Drink Champs" interview and "all similar statements [regarding] George Floyd from every podcast, website, advertisement, and social media site, no matter the platform or medium."

Anything else?

West has been in the news quite a bit over the last few weeks, first drawing outrage on social media after showing up at a fashion show wearing a shirt reading "White Lives Matter." Here's a photo of him with conservative pundit Candace Owens, who's also donning a shirt with the same phrase:

\u201cKanye West decision to wear a \u201cWhite Lives Matter\u201d shirt is disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible. Some of y\u2019all will rush to defend him. You should ask yourselves why\u2026\u201d

In a subsequent interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, West called out the media's "godless agenda" and defended his pro-life positions. Days later, West was locked out of his Twitter account after posting a tweet about Jewish people that many viewed as anti-Semitic. Then, after JPMorgan Chase canceled West's bank accounts last week, the rapper and entrepreneur shot back saying, "I feel happy to have crossed the line."
