/u/ss1989 tells us:

That piece of shit (a cop, working/middle class) would have murdered a black investment banker all the same. George Floyd died because of the color of his skin and nothing more.

This works on the assumption that the individual perception of the cop is all that matters, that, because you can't see someone's wealth the way you can skin colour, race is the only relevant axis.

With this argument liberals let go of both their purported love of intersectionality and systemic analysis.

Do Obama or Henry Louis Gates live in the same sorts of neighborhoods that receive the same sort (both in quality and quantity) of police presence as a black Walmart employee?

No longer is the wider system, and the property relations which form its foundation, responsible for putting one faction of black Americans in certain zip codes and another faction in a different set, and subsequently, police presence in the former being higher and more tense than in the latter what leads to working class blacks interacting with police, and therefore being brutalized, more often than middle class blacks. Instead the "black community" is to remain an abstract entity with no internal divisions which subsequently lead to different lives. All that matters is the individual cops consciousness, his perception of black skin and his racism. To be clear I'm not saying that the cop has a good opinion of rich blacks compared to poor blacks. My point is that his personal beliefs don't matter as much as the wider set of social relations which put him on patrol in poor neighborhoods more often than rich ones, and lead to different outcomes for middle class blacks compared to their working class counterparts.

This is tantamount to saying that rich whites and poor whites receive the same treatment from cops, because, after all, race is the only thing that matters.

Corollary to this is the denial of intersectionality, that I'm guessing this moron, or at least his cohort, who given the upvotes is agreeing with this comment, is eager to seize upon. No longer is class a relevant axis, instead this is to be looked upon exclusively in terms of race. This thought does not transcend beyond "dark skin = mean police", wider analysis is something that the bros do.
