It’s Big Tech’s Big Censorship Week! First Twitter and Facebook just decided to simply block NY Post’s damning Hunter Biden story from being shared on social media so that voters couldn’t be swayed. Now Amazon seems to be doing the same with a documentary about the Michael Brown story that presents the facts of the case, rather than push the manufactured agenda that Brown was the victim of America’s systemic racism.

Amazon Prime has refused to publish the film in its streaming library, although it hosts plenty of movies and documentaries about bunk political theories.

What Killed Michael Brown? filmmaker Shelby Steele – a senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution that has studied race relations for decades – told conservative outlets his hypothesis that Amazon Prime rejected his documentary because it doesn’t fit the preferred take about what happened to the African American teenager. “Our side is not the politically correct narrative,” he claimed.

Thanks to the media, many Americans unequivocally accept that a racist cop killed the innocent and docile Brown, and that the violent Black Lives Matter movement the incident spawned, is a dignified antidote to America’s systemic racism.

According to Steele, his film – which employs the backdrop of the controversial Michael Brown case in Ferguson for an exploration of “race relations in the United States” – was deemed not “eligible for publishing” by Amazon.

No one dare make deleterious comments about the gentle giant or the false state of cystemic racis' narrative. Even Shelby Steele can't make those kinds of statements.
