System of a Downward Spiral

Larry Kudlow, the president's top economic adviser, yesterday told reporters, “I don’t believe there is systemic racism in the U.S."

Well.

Larry Kudlow is currently a senior White House official who has never been imprisoned, despite the fact that he is an admitted past cocaine user. Generations of Black Americans lost years, decades of their lives because they possessed crack cocaine.

That's not an example of systemic racism. Nope. No sirree.

And George Floyd did ten months for a $10 drug deal.

Trump* and Kudlow and company are astonishingly out of touch with everything but “the base.”

And Floyd was convicted in a single-witness case where the cop involved has since been charged with murder and lying on an affadavit... all of his past cases are under challenge. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/06/05/ogg-case-involving-george-floyd-was-among-goines-cases-being-reviewed-by-prosecutors/
