Black votes matter to many politicians — more so than black lives. That is why such politicians must try to keep black voters fearful, angry and resentful. Racial harmony would be a political disaster for such politicians.
“Black Lives Matter” is one thing - even that is a cynical criticism of society, insinuating that society does not value black lives. But BLM propagandists reject the slogan “All Lives Matter,” so it is more like “White Lives Don’t Matter.

But even that doesn’t plumb the depths of the cynicism of the slogan - because the BLM propagandists don’t care about the numerous black lives lost to black crime, so some black lives don’t matter either.

So the bottom line of the BLM propagandists is actually that the only lives which matter are the lives of black criminals.

What could suit “BLM” sloganeers better, therefore, than to "Defund the Police”?

What's racist is to assume a couple things:
  1. That Chauvin wanted to kill Floyd because he was black; and,

  2. That Chauvin represents the 99% of cops who restrain their use of force and are probably not racist.

It's entirely possible that Chauvin hated Floyd -- not because he was black, but because he hates criminals or had a personal vendetta against Floyd.

But these points only make sense if you believe reason and common sense should guide public policy, not feeeelwings.
