Washington Post Blames "Systemic Racism" for George Floyd Robbing a Latino Woman at Gunpoint
Front Page ^ | 8 Oct 2020 | Daniel Greenfield

The Washington Post took a shot at making its own version of the 1619 Project for George Floyd.

"Born with two strikes - How systemic racism shaped Floyd’s life and hobbled his ambition," the paper owned by the richest man in the world falsely claims.

Floyd, you see, wanted to be a Supreme Court justice. But a racist country just kept arresting him for drugs, theft, and... armed robbery.

But the Post does its best to dance around that by writing about anything and everything except Floyd's crimes.

"Early in life, he wanted to be a Supreme Court justice. Then, a pro athlete. At the end, he just longed for a little stability, training to be a commercial truck driver."

There actually is a black man on the Supreme Court. Despite the best efforts of the Washington Post to keep him off it.

Washington Compost lives up to its name again. I wonder if Bezos owning and supporting WaPo might cause folks to start boycotting Amazon?

Half of America is dead. That includes a good portion of the social structure of it.

“...Floyd, you see, wanted to be a Supreme Court justice.”


So he studied hard in school, went to college, graduated and then studied law. Is that what he did?

Or, plan B, he played his sport hard, developed his skills, got a scholarship at a college, excelled and got tapped by the pros. Did George do that?

I've taken to calling it the Amazon Post, which Bezos bought for a quarter billion to shill for his delivery company & other Silicon Valley hi-tech firms, spread liberal propaganda and ignore news he doesn't like while printing lies about conservatives.

the reason percentages of blacks arrested are uneven....and in trouble.
1. single mothers ..no father in the home.
2. years of being poor and under educated because the blacks are generationally taught to vote democratic and stay in black company.[dont better yourself by adhering to white standards.]
3. the democrats never did squat for the black race.. the democrats care about ONE thing and one thing only...their lust for power and control.. ya know the person who lusts for power, believes that is what gives them a leg up over all others...for they have little respect for themselves.
to care for others is an unselfish act.

There’s no such thing as systemic racism in America.

If there was we would still have routine lynchings and slavery.

It is systemic racism for liberals like those who run the Washington Post to continually claim that black criminals like George Floyd are not morally responsible for crimes they commit: racism against blacks who liberals regard as lacking free will and incapable of making moral decisions, and racism against victims of all races harmed by black criminals.

The whole Sunday “Outlook” section was written by insane, delusional and often psychopathic people. Worst issue I’ve ever seen in over 55 years of reading the Wash. Post. And the stupidest were the “Letters to the Editor” writers.

They make Charles Manson, Squeakie Fromm, Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, Michael Moore, Rose O’Donnell and Cher sound somewhat sane.

Remember the old movie line about aliens and zombies, “They walk among us” and VOTE! Now that should scare the shit out of you if nothing else does.

Zing!

Hopefully, Dr. President Trump will work that into his rally speeches. Who was the man who led the attacks against Clarence Thomas? None other than Sleepy, Creepy, Gropin' Joe Biden.

The leftist media like the wash post are the enemy, folks. Treat them as such.

They can’t split; regardless of the comments about how much these Dem states contribute in taxes, it is very clear they wouldn’t be self-sustaining. That is inevitable when your base consists of people who refuse to work.

The Obamas seem to suffer from crushing inferiority complexes; when you would see them during his presidency, did you ever doubt that pair had the least education/most limited vocabulary in the room?

The whole “systemic racism” argument falls apart when you compare the socio-economic progress of foreign blacks in this country to “African Americans”; the foreigners (especially from former British colonies) put them to shame.

It is a cultural deficiency, not “systemic racism”.

I’ve had tremendous respect for Bezos for building Amazon into the groundbreaking business it is but I have zero respects for his politics. He is one of those billionaire business persons who support the Democrats who claim they are going to tax billionaires out of existence. Right!
