Serious question for democrats and media? Why is there so much 'systemic racism' going on in these exclusively democrat-run cities?

Also if the “system” is all racist then how come the “system” allowed a black man to get elected to the Presidency twice?

.I won’t be surprised if we see a major change in politics at the local level

Who is going to run for those local-level positions?

Voter turn-out in local politics is normally low. With an active get out to vote campaign targeting conservatives I believe local races can be won and rather easily.

It’s a matter of getting normals to give up their comfortable lives and pursuing public service.

Because the Democrat Party hates black people. That’s been true since the founding of their sick political organization.

Those sentences must be repeated, reposted and emphasized over and over again. Make THEM answer it.

Jim,

I think a big part of the answered is explained in a June 2020 story by Larry Schweikart:

An Alternative Theory of the Riots

Larry's analysis: city Democrats have been shaking down large banks to the tune of $2 trillion dollars in the last many years. And the "deal" was to enable the large banks to absorb all the small banks.

It was all brokered by leaders in the commuuuuuuunity: people like the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who had good ideas where all that "pocket change" should go.

And now there's a bit of a crisis because the small banks are all gone so the large banks don't have a reason to be as "civic-minded" as they were in the past.

They’re going to fix it this time.

They’re going to burn the racism out.

The systemic racism lives in the buildings.

They’re letting skinny white kids with criminal records burn all the buildings.

What I want to know is how you entrench "systemic" racism (or anything) in just 3 years? Doesn't sound possible. Seems to me if - and I don't believe it for a minute but let's play along - there was "systemic" racism in America then it has been around for quite a while. Gosh, why didn't the first black President address this issue?

Kind of the same thing with all those statues that suddenly "had to" come down. I guess they only started offending in the last couple of years?

Ditto gun control. What about all these weapons we "simply have to ban" with "common sense" gun control? Oh, that's right, my timing is off. We only talk gun control right after a shooting the MSM can spin and grind on for a few days - when they can whip everyone up into an emotional state rather than contemplating legislation with logic and reason.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years. I don’t see any of this happening in my strong Republican town and borough. Blacks don’t have to worry about police brutality. They’re not followed around a store just because of the color of their skin. Our police are professional and courteous. Every so often somebody gets stupid and shoots or tries to shoot at the police and are in turn shot and killed, but I can’t think of a single instance when it was a black person that this happened to. I see blacks when I’m out and about and I don’t think anything of it. Most black criminals in Alaska seem to prefer urban over suburban or semi-rural, so I really don’t see them where I live. We have a “Who not to use” Facebook page, and I’ve never seen a black person post about a racist experience at any business out here. So yes, I see this as a peculiarly Democrat issue. But that’s to be expected when you consider the racist history of the Democratic Party, going all the way back to their first president, Andrew Jackson.

Minneapolis has been Democrat run for four decades, has had a police department headed by minorities for ten years and has spent millions of every liberal social program imaginable. It ought to be liberal utopia

And that’s where the current round of ‘systemic racism’ and ‘police brutality’ riots started. I think the democrats ought to clean up their own messes in their own democrat controlled cities before trying to blame any president.

This is a story I heard, many years ago, about Trade Unions (labor unions) in Britain.

A Trade Union would hold a meeting. It would go on for hours. Eventually, members would start leaving - they had homes and families to go to. But the communist members were dedicated and remained. Then, late at night, the remaining members would hold a vote, the communists would now be in the majority, so their vote carried the day.

I can’t vouch for the accuracy of that story, but it is certainly plausible.

Riots are in democrat cites in democrat states.

No riots in Florida or other Republican States because our Republican Governors have the right to step in and stop the action before it gets started.

Black looters tried to start stuff in Florida cities and each time police nipped the action in the bud. Nothing comes of it because the mayor and Governors of hellhole states (democrat) have to be on the same page.

These riots were a per-planed democrat tactic for Biden's election.

How do I know that?

Because the orders for 20,000 masks, baseball bats and preposition ed bricks happened BEFORE the riots started - NOT after.
