Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas, June 27, 2019.Former President George W. Bush in a statement on Tuesday condemned the ongoing presence of racism in the US while urging Americans against "looting" and "destruction." Floyd, a black man, died after a white Minneappolis police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes.

Former President George W. Bush on Tuesday spoke out against systemic racism and America's "tragic failures" in"Laura and I are anguished by the brutal suffocation of George Floyd and disturbed by the injustice and fear that suffocate our country. Yet we have resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen.

"It remains a shocking failure that many African Americans, especially young African American men, are harassed and threatened in their own country," Bush said. "It is a strength when protesters, protected by responsible law enforcement, march for a better future." Bush's statement came a day after peaceful protesters were tear-gassed outside of the White House to clear the way for President Donald Trump to, in a move that has sparked widespread criticism of the Trump administration. Trump on Monday threatened to deploy the US military if states are unable to quell the dissaray on their own.

Very true

The thing is, after the solidarity and words of support, what will be done to permanently discredit and abandon the philosophy, which elevates one race as superior and another as inferior? That is what people want to know.

I think Kanye has something to say about this

In comparison to 🍊🤡... bush seems actually good

Freedom of speech apparently doesn’t apply to everyone.

LOL did he forget he was president ?

What about the one million dead civilians under your watch

Does he think we forgot?

When even war criminals are shocked by what is happening...

Iraq 500 thousands plus dead,up your derriere Bush.

Should be investigated and fired

Trump is making this man a saint. I ain't even mad at him grabbing the opportunity to change his legacy narrative. You're seeing this w/ Bloomberg as well.

hblodget bush doesn't know sh!t he's a delusional unga bunga dancer hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤛

This guy is an idiot too

Killing of black people in the United States is state-sponsored terrorism. Nothing less.

Thanks to Mr. Bush, iraqi citizens feel 'harassed and threatened in their own country' as well.

hblodget - Gil Scott-heron

hblodget America leads the world in shock. Unfortunately America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock
