White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow doubled down on his denial that systemic racism exists by mentioning former President Barack Obama’s two-term presidency, during an interview on CNBC Monday.
This is the same drivel spouted by the not-so-crypto- fascists right after Obama was elected. He knows it, so he’s not that dumb. But he is still too stupid to come up with a more original lie.
My uncle believes he can’t be racist because he’s married to a Chinese woman. Never mind the awful things I’ve heard him say about African-Americans and others.
I’m so tired of the, “I once knew a black man. I can’t be racist” excuse.
Police violence: nope, a few bad apples. Systemic racism: nope, a few bad apples. White supremacists in the military: nope, a few bad apples.
I think this explanation for everything gets so much traction because or their familiarity with bad apples. After all they’ve collected so many in the WH.
