美國黑人男子喬治.佛洛伊德5月25日慘死於白人警察暴力執法,引發美國自1968年4月金恩博士遇刺之後最嚴重的種族主義衝突主義,卻竟然有民眾搞出「喬治.佛洛伊德大挑戰」,嘻皮笑臉模擬警察以膝蓋重壓佛洛伊德咽喉的姿態,彷彿慘案似乎只是玩笑一樁,「黑人的命不是命」。
這股「喬治.佛洛伊德大挑戰」(George Floyd Challenge)歪風似乎是從英國吹起,3名青少年拍攝模擬照片,PO上「Snapchat」與華威大學(University of Warwick)的臉書,壓人者與被壓者都滿臉笑容,照片還加上註解「警察暴力」,深怕網友不知道他們嘲諷的對象。

3名惡少年來自的蓋茲赫德(Gateshead),就讀於當地的「休謨樞機天主教中學」(Cardinal Hume Catholic School),2人19歲、1人18歲,5月31日遭警方逮捕,目前交保候傳。
冷血歪風很快在網路蔓延,連美國空軍官校一名應屆畢業生也PO照炫耀,引起網友集體向空軍喊話,要求清理門戶。
臉書等社群媒體已對歪風開鍘,「#GeorgeFloydChallenge」的搜尋結果已被屏蔽,但推特仍然有這個標籤的內容。許多網友也轉PO相關照片,但目的顯然是要批判這種病態風氣。
Twitter. Find these fools. Call them out. We need to know what kind of absolute morons thought they could do this and get away with it. These men are the problem. Find them. I don’t condone violence, but there need to be repercussions for their actions. #GeorgeFloydChallenge pic.twitter.com/DQdATBQU6X
