  • Systemic Racism in full display

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 27 10:53:19 2023
    but not a peep from the left or Biden admin.

    This white judge is denying bail to a black man because he was accused of having committed a violent crime. Floyd has no other criminal history we are aware of. But for some reason, she determines he is a flight risk.

    Does this case not have all the hallmarks of the type of ingrained racism in our system that leftists would normally show up to protest? What was the real reason Floyd is being treated differently? Is he not entitled to the presumption of innocence, just
    like any other American?

    The silence from the usual players in this game is deafening but not at all surprising. Those who scream the loudest against the notion of systemic racism are those who care about it the least. The way you can tell whether someone truly believes what
    they say is by watching how they move when applying their stated principles does not benefit them. The reason why we are not hearing from the Sharptons and Crumps of the world is because Harrison Floyd has the wrong political affiliation. That is the
    only reason.

    If these people actually believed what came out of their mouths, they would speak out against this unfair decision from the judge regardless of the politics involved. This is why I constantly point out that so-called progressive types do not view racism
    as a problem to be solved but as a tool to be used. For these people, race issues are nothing more than a convenient cudgel to be wielded against political opposition—nothing more, nothing less. The reality that they are willing to turn a blind eye to
    Floyd’s situation further demonstrates that they would rather prioritize politics over the principles they claim to hold.

    this unfair decision

    Disingenuous and dishonest posturing noted. Two Kroo-points awarded - one for mindless disgorgement of brain-dead dogma, and one for dragging in
    roadkill from a site that traffics in deranged and bigoted agitation.

    This is what you get when you grow up listening to Rush Limbaugh instead
    of Rush the rock band.

    True, the closest I got to an Ayn Rand phase was Heinlein juveniles, so
    nothing to outgrow.

    "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
    butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem,
    pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently,
    die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

    His diaper rash does explain his demeanor.
