Wasn't it also Minnesota's Democratic Senator, Amy Klobuchar, who refused to prosecute Derek Chauvin?
California's hard core Democrat, and our prison system is absurdly anti black. But instead of realizing all those who were imprisoned for made up marijuana crimes, the major being black males, our Democratic Governor is randomly releasing thousands of prisoners due to COVID-19, and that way, a poor black male can get his car stolen, be infected with COVID-19, and be discriminated against by the police, all in the span of an hour!
George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin, not by "systemic racism". "Systemic racism" isn't even a real thing in America in 2020, its just woke SJW nonsense peddled by BLM and other groups who ignore the real reasons why so many black people are killed by the police or end up in prison.
Systemic racism is real, insofar as we're talking about cops and black males. My point is that it's real in Democratic and Republican states, so blaming just one party for it, is quite silly. What about Philando Castille? Here's a link that documented some of the more atrocious instances:
https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2 ... index.htmlOf course the solution is to remove qualified immunity if the arrest has a racial basis, rather than to defund the police. The solution is to undo the damage from the drug war, rather than to make everyone feel like a victim or oppressor. The solution is to actually let the Jury see the camera footage, rather than using cameras as ornaments.
And yeah, there's a fuckton of SJW nonsense, i.e. "don't call them a xxx, call them an African American" - here's one: how about call them whatever the fuck you want, but don't call the cops on them, and treat them like human beings. SJWs focus so much on what's said, rather than what's done, that I have a hard time taking most of the lingo seriously. You can set up a set of circumstances that can make a transgender individual homeless and addicted to drugs, and you'll be fine, as long as you're using proper pronouns.
Even the study's wording like "Latinx" which was made up to avoid "oppressing" Latinas from being called "Latinos" when they're part of a group that includes Latinos, even though that's the rule in most languages, including countries where women are quite powerful. How about paying Latinas minimum wage? Can't do that, we don't want to hurt the business interests, but we'll now call them "Latinx" and wish them best of luck finding food for their kids as we increase their rent, or decrease their quality of living.
