Nicole Byer Shares Script on How to Talk About Racism to White Kids: 'Read It Verbatim'




Famous moms and dads like Ciara, Thomas Rhett, Katherine Heigl and Iskra Lawrence have recently discussed their fears for their own non-white children, as well as how they are speaking to them about the fight for equality and the importance of standing up for what's right.

In a report released Monday, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner listed Floyd's cause of death as a homicide — specifically, "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." It also said he "experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officer(s)."

Derek Chauvin, the officer who pinned Floyd to the ground by his neck, has been charged with second-degree murder. He and the three other officers present were fired from the Minneapolis Police Department last week, while the three other officers at the scene of the May 25 killing — Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng — are also facing formal criminal charges.
