Madonna is getting slammed on Twitter, for what is being seen as an insensitive response to George Floyd’s death. In a post on the social media site, Madonna shared a video of her teenage son David dancing to the 1995 Michael Jackson song “They Don’t Care About Us.”
In the post’s caption, she referred to “brutal murder” all over the world, and shared that David was dancing to “honor and pay tribute” to Floyd and his family. She also added that the dance was meant to bring awareness to the “Racism and Discrimination” that happen in the U.S. every day. The post has been receiving a lot of criticism, with many users expressing that this may not have been the right time for a post like this.

Now that Madonna has posted a video of her son dancing racism is over, George Floyd has peace, justice will be served and the riots will stop. This is what everyone was waiting for. Stay tuned for updates from the bathtub.

This is trash, and deeply disrespectful.

If you want to actually do something to help combat racism and oppression, donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to help pay the bail of protestors in Minneapolis.https://t.co/D0yDUAhtdK
no disrespect to her or her kid but really what does him dancing do to end racism?

Why are you using your black child like this for internet clicks when someone else’s black child was actually murdered? Dancing won’t end racism. Maybe just donate a lot of money to the GoFundMe for #GeorgeFloyd‘s family.
