Singer Madonna has drawn harsh criticism on social media for sharing a video of her son dancing to a Michael Jackson song to honour George Floyd and protest 'all Acts of Racism.' GeorgeFloydMurder JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
"I really appreciate you for allowing your son to dance away the racism for us," read one person's snarky reply.Former NBA star Rex Chapman called the tribute "maybe the worst tweet of all time," writing, "'Come dance in the kitchen for racism' is a weird take."
"Thank you for posting this, most people don't even realize or listen to the words that he was dancing to," one person wrote. "They don't listen, they don't hear, they make a split judgment with their eyes. That is what is wrong with this country. My heart aches tonight worse than ever." The four police officers involved in the arrest were fired after Floyd died Monday and video of the encounter began circulating, but many are demanding more justice. Unrest and looting has taken hold in Minneapolis since Tuesday night.
