> it’s now “woke” to say that multiple police officers shouldn’t kill someone by sitting on their neck for 9 minutes

He’s using the moment as a time stamp, not rendering commentary on it per se. Floyd was arguably the peak of legitimacy and acceptance of what we (and he) now calls woke culture. (I’d set the time a little later, around the ‘22 midterms, but we’re in the same ballpark.)

That doesn’t exactly help. Minorities have been trying to get society to wake up to police brutality since at least as far back as NWA’s “Fuck the Police” when Tipper Gore was clutching her pearls about the affect such music had on society.

It was just not until social media where minorities could get around the press and media filter.

Here "affect" should be "effect".
