He depersonalizes it by saying "People" have been through it. Name the people. "The family of George Floyd... the cousins who thought of him as a brother..." He's so detached from everything. Also, what is the "it" people have been through? Name it!
He just doesn't feel the pain of other people, he's never felt it, so he's incapable of even faking it.
