  • ‘George Floyd Challenge’ Image Spreads Virally, Provenance Unknown Claim Snapchat users are engaging in a tasteless George Floyd challenge. Rating Unknown Like this fact check? Reporting On May 31 2020, a Facebook screenshot of an Instagram post circulated virally, purportedly depicting two white teenagers grinning as they engaged in what was labeled a George Floyd challenge — a tasteless recreation of the circumstances of Floyd’s death: https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3XIwKglnC/ The Instagram post itself was tagged as a repost, and the original poster indicated they’d received it without additional information from someone else — in other words, secondhand: #Repost we need these goofy mfs found... somebody sent me this lame shit... Y’all goofy mfs sitting around burning our shit up while they at home comfortable playin us like goofies and they chillin with no fear In the world crackin jokes and don’t give af by doing shit like this.... GO FUCK THEY SHIT UP... NOT OURBLACK OWNED SHIT!!!! I bet them bitches won’t be laughin and thinkin shit sweet then... they think shit chicken cuz we doin it to ourselves instead of making them feel that fuckin pressure 🅿️ these bitches think it’s a game... and we letting em🤦🏾‍♂️ #explore #JusticeForFloyd Two separate reverse image searches didn’t return any indication the image had been shared before, and its formatting suggested that the post originated on Snapchat — but visual elements of the photograph indicated a possibility it was not very recent. All references to a George Floyd challenge we located on Twitter and other platforms were posts condemning the purported trend and calling for the boys in the image to be identified and doxxed: In Chardon, Ohio, the George Floyd Challenge is something that people are really having a good time with. Please help expose & denounce this hateful nonsense. @maddow @chrislhayes @Lawrence @tamronhall @MSNBC pic.twitter.com/00Hnwul5k4 Florida is where wokes go to die...
