The King assassination riots, also known as the Holy Week Uprising,[2] were a wave of civil disturbance which swept the United States following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968. Many believe them to be the greatest wave of social unrest the United States had experienced since the Civil War.[1] Some of the biggest riots took place in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, and Kansas City.

Without further context, it seems like he was discussing how much impact George Floyd's death had.
It's actually difficult to think of many other people who's death has had as much impact globally (at the time he was speaking).

I think that's what he was getting at. However it is not a comparison that should be made.

To make the comparison fit, you have to limit MLK's impact to his death which is distasteful in my eyes.

There's certain things you just shouldn't do.

US: NFL's Washington Redskins to consider name change

American National Football League's (NFL) Washington Redskins announced Friday the team will undergo a "thorough review" of its name after weeks of discussion.

The professional American football team said in a statement that the decision has been taken in the light of recent events around the US and feedback from the community, referring to the protests over death of George Floyd.

"This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field," said Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins.

The team believes "this review can and will be conducted with the best interest of all in mind."

The announcement came a day after the team's key sponsor FedEx asked it to change the name.

The national debate over racism and demands from Black Lives Matter protestors renewed calls for the franchise to change the "Redskins" name, and sponsors this week started ramping up pressure.

"We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name," FedEx said Thursday.

Floyd, 46, an unarmed black man, died after being pinned down May 25 by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota after reportedly attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a local store.

His last words, "I can't breathe," became a slogan for worldwide anti-racism protests.

I wonder what would make someone decide that today of all days is the day to make thread with a misleading title using a tweet that might be a little questionable?

Protests quickly spread nationwide and to over 2,000 cities and towns in over 60 countries in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.[22][23][24] Polls in summer 2020 estimated that between 15 million and 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States, making the protests the largest in U.S. history.[25][26][27]
