The year 2020 was a challenging year known mainly as the pandemic year. However, the notable event of George Floyd's killing broke many humans' hearts and made them protest on social media and the streets as well. In this research, we studied the hashtag "BlackLivesMatter," and some of its adversary contentions regarding George Floyd's demise in 2020 on Twitter. Based on the extensive aftermath of protests in the United States, we considered an area analysis to compare tweet rates in different groups to some previously studied statistics. The purpose is to investigate how racism content is correlated with life expectancy, poverty, and education. Findings revealed a significant relationship between online color-based contents and some physical world indicators.
