Reparations Activist Warns Of Violence If Derek Chauvin Is Not Convicted
Reparations BLM activists and model Maya Echols warned that ‘cities will burn’ if former police officer Derek Chauvin is not convicted in the death of controversial figure George Floyd.
Echols said in the video going viral on social media, posted to TikTok, “If George Floyd’s murderer is not sentenced, just know that all hell is going to break loose. Don’t be surprised when buildings are on fire. Just saying.”
Echols is a promoter of taxpayer-funded reparations to Black people living in the United States.
In another video posted she shared what she thinks what reparations should be and cited what happened when the slaves were freed.
“They promised them 40 acres and a mule, obviously, to compensate for the hundreds of years of oppression. And they didn’t give it to them. So they were freed with no education, no land. They put them in low-income areas. They planted drugs in those areas to keep them oppressed,” Echols stated.
The activist also believes that plantations need to be memorials and does not understand why people have weddings or parties at plantations.
“All plantations need to be memorials. I don’t know why people are having weddings or parties on plantations. That’s sick. I don’t even know why that’s legal. That’s weird. And it shows how much America does not respect black people once again, because why does that feel OK for you to have a wedding venue business on a plantation where thousands of slaves died? Doesn’t make sense,” Echols shared.
In the same video while wanting memorials for plantations she also thinks statues should be taken down.
“I also want to add in the fact that they need to take down all statues that contributed to slavery. People that were pro-slavery, why are there statues still up? What are we celebrating? Can someone tell me? Because I don’t know,” she continued.
Details From George Floyd Case
Medical evidence suggests that Chauvin may not be convicted in court because Floyd’s girlfriend, Courtney Ross stated that both her and Floyd had an opioid addiction.
Ross was asked if she believed Floyd was using again two weeks prior to his death and she said, “I noticed a change in his behavior, yes.”
Ross was unable to recall if there were times with Floyd if he would ever be up bouncing around or unintelligible. She was even asked about names they had for each other and what was her name saved in his phone.
Ross responded, “Mama.”
