|    Systemic Racism in full display    |
|    27 Aug 23 10:53:19    |
      From: ScottW48@hotmail.com              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.              https://redstate.com/jeffc/2023/08/27/a-black-man-was-unfairly-d       nied-bail-why-arent-progressives-shouting-systemic-racism-this-time-n2163111              ScottW              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
