.TheDemocrats ignore their own failures to talk about Republicans and 'systemic racism' instead
Democrats have predictably turned the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee, into a referendum on Republicans and on the country in the form of systemic racism. After all, better to talk about that than about the fact that this is yet another failure of local and national Democratic politicians.
Van Jones on CNN right now talking about how"self-hatred" among some blacks — the kind that would make a black cop kill a black victim — is because of white supremacy. Can't win, FOLX Unmentioned in these screeds and the renewed push to defund police departments is that Democrats have run Memphis for at least the last 31 years. As is always the case, Democrats do not want to talk about the death of a black man at the hands of police in a city they have had hegemonic control of for decades. After the police killing of George Floyd, Democrats similarly sought to avoid the fact that they have controlled Minneapolis since 1978. This is nothing new.
