It's not visible in the screenshot, but the image is one of the Queen (God save her) with her knee on the neck of Meghan Markle, the actress who married her embarrassment of a grandson.
There is no real consensus on what it means. Some far-leftists actually defend it by saying that it's saying that the Queen treated the actress with the same racism as George Fwoyd. But others say that it's mocking the claim to victimhood by a multi-millionaire.
Either way, it's not exactly based, as it still assumes that the police and not fentanyl killed that man in Minneapolis. Nonetheless, American racism is often just assumed in Europe, because people don't know what the hell they're talking about.
To be fair if all they know about America is from mainstream media and dominant social media, from Google's manipulated search algorithms etc. Then that's no surprise.
Also Fentanyl Floyd had literally already done that before: cops showed up, he swallowed all his drugs and cried that he couldn't breath. Just the last time he pushed it too far.
Well, of course. It also helps that our media echoes the bias of your media (even as it's slightly less biased about domestic politics), and people have no way of knowing otherwise. But seeing how they talk about our domestic issues, they'd be ultra-woke on the race issue if they lived in America, and had even a rudimentary understanding of what's going on in your country.
Also, people like to use America as a foil. "America may have race problems, but we do not." Whereas I think that while there is very little racism (unlike some of your neocon/leftist claims) in Europe, there is probably even less in America.
The question is whether Chauvin can get a fair trial.
If he is convicted, people will believe he deserved it. If he is rightfully acquitted, people will say that it was Wight Supremacy.
Likely, threats to jurors and threats to riots will ensure a conviction. What is justice? A word. Who hath it? He who died on Wednesday.
Ask any European about the gypsies and watch how fast that statement turns out to be false.
That is not really a racial issue, but rather about behavior.
Pretty sure that's what happens if Chauvin is convicted, not acquitted: The dead arbitrarily supercede the rights of the living, despite all logic, merely because they happen to be dead but their corpse is still being paraded around.
