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

Posted on 10/11/2020 5:23:51 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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.

Really don’t see how this country can continue to function with this kind of mess.

Well, instead he took too many narcotics at one time and got to sit in front of the Court of The Supreme Creator.

I wanted to be a neurosurgeon.

I became an uneducated deplorable instead.

I made the right choice.

This should be front-page news. George Floyd was apparently the first black guy to die in police custody who WASN’T an aspiring rapper.

Trump will bust up amazon and google when he wins.

We here read these articles ALL DAY.

How many people do you think live and die by the wa post, cnn and msnbc?

People act like there were no attacks on him last time when he ran.

He’ll win again and he’ll take care of business.

People around here gotta start praying more and having more faith rather than getting down and giving in to despair so easily.

Prayer. And getting people to the polls for Trump.

A winning combination.

Oh, come on. Racism is a learned behavior and the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about is why blacks are discriminated against more than other minorities in the US. The answer: It's their behavior. They want to point the finger at everyone but themselves.

We have thrown 4$ trillion at the problem of poverty since Johnson's War on Poverty and look what it's got us. I think a good measure of the black problem starts with the breakdown of the black family. 72% of black children are illegitimate and some of that is because welfare pays more when the father is absent. The law encourages the problem. One young black man on a TV program recently bragged he has fathered 23 children, but supports none of them. Hey, Bucko: It's easy to be a father; it's damn tough to be a parent and you don't have what it takes.

Well, that's the biggest load of horse shit I've seen in one place for quite a while.

But...it is typical Washington comPost material.

Washington Post Blames "Systemic Racism"

Who gives a crap what the Wash Post blames?

George Floyd? George Floyd is responsible for his life. I don't give a crap what cards you get dealt. You have choices. "Choose wisely" as the man said...

And he was appointed by a Republican... And BTW he was a real and true African American... His forefathers and foremothers were slaves... Not slavers like Obama and Harris’s kinfolk.

Floyd was a flawed man, a criminal not a saint as many have tried to portray the man. America was not racist until the Obamas began to play the race card...Crackers, Micks, red necks, Niggers, Chinks, Whops and Kike made up colorful, despairing slang for everyone...even in literature, dime novels and comics. Those expressions were considered impolite unless they were from a popular novelist.

Frankly, after growing up in the Smoky Mountains, I found Michelle's comment about being proud of her country for the first time in her life....utterly unbelievable.

You see we were taught everyone should be proud of their country...no one in my life ever mentioned the color of their skin....Michelle managed to open the eyes of this woman as to racism....Michelle is a racist.

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

But it appears that instead he stuck with his innate skills of living a life of crime.

And it caught up with him.

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
