I’ve been trying to process what can be said or heard in this moment. I haven’t been able to get the image of the knee on his neck out of my head. It’s there every morning when I rise and when I go through the ordinary duties of the day. While pouring coffee, lacing my shoes, and taking a breath, I think: He doesn’t get to do this. And now the video from the other angle of two other officers pinning him down. My heart sinks even deeper. His family and friends say he was a gentle giant. His death has now shown us he had a giant soul. If the largeness of a soul is determined by its sphere of influence, George Floyd is a Mighty soul. #GeorgeFloyd: We speak your name. But this time we will not let your name be just a hashtag. Your spirit is lifted by the cries of all of us who call for justice in your name!

Jedna z nejvlivnějších postav amerického showbyznysu prý stále před sebou vidí koleno policisty na krku George Floyda a slyší jeho sténání, že nemůže dýchat. Záběry šokující policejní brutality obletěly svět a Oprah prý na něj myslí i v "banálních chvílích, kdy si připravuje kávu nebo zavazuje tkaničky". Několikrát také sdílela hashtag #georgefloyd na svém Instagramu.
