   Systemic Racism in full display

   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.
