In a searing interview, the striker – a keen student of black American history – tells David Hytner about the sad, shocking normality of the tragic scenes in Minneapolis and his own experiences of living in a racist world

It is a simple point but one Andre Gray wants to make, lest anyone in the United Kingdom has failed to grasp it. The marches and protests that have swept the major cities in recent days have not only been about George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis on the Monday before last – or, more precisely, his left knee, when it was applied with remorseless force to the side of Floyd’s neck during an arrest.

Absolute drivel AndreGray7. Not an ounce of fact within that article. Are you seriously pissed that Madeleine McCann took the headlines and you seriously think it was because she was white? Is that not racism in itself? I

Join the bandwagon why don’t you.

He says with a massive scar on his face

Police: we pulled him over in his 200k car for speeding and thinking hes above the law. Andre Gray: I'm being judged and stereotyped!

I think many people don't fully understand the anger over here, about a murder in the USA. It's to Andre Gray's credit that he's prepared to speak up and explain, and to the Guardian's credit that they report what he says. We need understanding.

Probably because black commit more crimes.

Said the thug.

You expect us to take moral lessons from Andre Gray? Hah you cant be serious

I need to hear from more from black millionaires talking about oppression

Is this the same bloke?.. the homophobic same bloke..

Of course it’s not all just about George Floyd, it’s about being bored and having an excuse to take part in anti-social behaviour and commit vandalism with impunity.

'The United States quite simply doesn’t give a damn about the UN, international law or critical dissent, which it regards as impotent and irrelevant. It also has its own bleating little lamb tagging behind it on a lead, the pathetic and supine Great Britain.' -- Harold Pinter

Typical Guardian stirring the pot
