Racial injustice on 'Grey's Anatomy' has viewers both in tears and enraged

Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy addressed the issues of racial injustice and police brutality, as peaceful protestors were brought into Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital after being shot by tear gas canisters and rubber-coated bullets. As heartbreaking as the episode was, the moment that drew the biggest response, was when Maggie's boyfriend Winston, who is Black, was pulled over by two white police officers.

The scenario, which we've seen go wrong countless times in the past , most recently, with the shooting of Daunte Wright, had viewers taking to social media both in tears and enraged. In fact, the situation, which was heightened due to the fact that Winston attempted to remain on the phone with Maggie, was eerily similar to recent reports that Wright was on the phone with his mother .

Fortunately, unlike the many cases in real life, Winston was okay. Granted he was shaken up, Winston was just fine as he called Maggie to tell her that they had let him go. The reason it had taken so long was because they made him exit his vehicle, take off his mask, take a DUI test, and then checked his trunk. Due to the fact that he was driving across the country to move closer to Maggie, his car was full of his belongings. During the scene, all of Winston's things were pulled out of his car and completely pulled apart.

Many viewers took to Twitter both in tears and enraged:

Say it with me. He didn’t do anything wrong, he didn’t deserve this.

The heartbreaking episode ended with Winston in tears on the side of the road as he told Maggie over the phone, "I'm not good. I'm not okay yet, you know? I just gotta breathe a little bit."

My wife liked to watch the series. She said that episode was too politically correct for her.

The Left is going all out in the propaganda war.

Back when I used to waste my time arguing with these people, I was amazed at how often they would cite something they saw on a fictional TV show as evidence that their position was correct.

To leftist midwits, what they saw last night on Gray’s Anatomy (or whatever) is MORE REAL than reality.

That’s the problem. Good either aren’t getting the script, or they’re improvising.

It never ceases to amaze me at the number of Stupid Sheeple and “Useless” Idiots who watch fictional movies and TV sitcoms, with hired actors, reading from a made up script of fiction; actually believe that they are witnessing real life happening before their eyes. And what amazes me even further, is that they actually let these idiots vote. They are Propaganda Sponges, ready, willing, and able, to soak up everything they’re told.

The series has a Black Panther vibe. And this supposed to be set 5 years in the future. The whole thing seems to have been written by someone with Trump living rent free in their head.

That is what they want. Don’t give in.

I don't give a care about the color of one's skin. Now-a-days, though, I steer clear of blacks, especially ones that affect the whole "urban" culture thing. As a non-black, there's too much risk personally, socially, economically, and even physically if in the wrong place when being involved with them beyond a limited manner for work or doing business.

Call me racist, if you want. I am more concerned about self preservation that what others think of me, or pretending like there aren't racial problems (stoked mostly by white socialist/globalists and blacks themselves) in this country.

And Ashe sat there crying, two feral inner city youths, nearing the turning around of their lives, shot him dead and took his stuff.

The show’s ratings and demos suck.

First off...why is “black” capitalized? White certainly isn’t...unless it’s the first word of a sentence. Nor should it be. It’s just another little way that “progressives” make it clear that blacks are superior to whites...that they’re special...unique.

Why couldn’t they do a feelgood story like this?

Millions of pathetic white girls and white girl identifying beta males will watch it and think this is how things are in reality.

Cops aren’t going to do all that during a traffic stop. They don’t even want to waste their time doing that on traffic stops.

In a hundred years, whoever is left, will spit upon these scumbags who trashed this country for a writing credit on a show nobody will remember.

The media is fomenting racial conflict. Why isn’t that a hate crime?

It’s a work of fiction. It fits the leftist narrative.

***************************************************
Grey’s is written by an Oprah black protege.

It always elevates the black positions out of any normal average. No or few Asiams or Indians for example.

In my local hospital there are 504 doctors listed. One black and many Asians including 3 Patels unrelated.

The show always promotes Black and White romance which is much rarer than TV shows and commercials show. The most recent marriage statistics show Black and White marriages less than 5 %.

I condemn racist articles which uppercase black and deliberately lowercase White.
