I think he may have killed him because he was a racist, or he may have killed him because he was generally a bad person, or he may have killed him because of a prior relationship. I don't know and neither do you.
What we do know is that he only was able to do it because of institutional racism if nothing else. He knew he could get away with treating a black man like that in front of his colleagues. And had George Floyd not tragically died he probably would have got away with it.
You can speculate about the specific motives of that individual all you want, but George Floyd was killed by racism. It was racism that allowed him to be treated like that, it was racism that caused his colleagues to aid and abet him. Racism is why black people are treated differently by the police.
George Floyd was a victim of racism.
