Imagine that no one had shot video of George Floyd being killed
by the police in Minneapolis. There would have been a bland statement that he
had died resisting arrest, and none of us would have heard of him.
Instead, the horror of that video has ignited protests around
the world. Racism in that video is as visceral as a lynching.
