CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 11, 2020
BEHIND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THE MEDIA REPORT TODAY IS AN AGENDA. THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD IS BEING USED BY THE HARD LEFT AND DEMOCRATS TO ADVANCE THEIR AGENDA. THEY CLAIM IT’S ABOUT POLICE REFORM. THAT IS PARTIALLY TRUE AND REFORMS ARE SURELY NEEDED IN SOME DEPARTMENTS, BUT IT IGNORES THE REAL PROBLEM. JASON RILEY, WHO IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN, WRITES ABOUT IT IN YESTERDAY’S WALL STREET JOURNAL.
HE NOTES THE 25 PEOPLE KILLED AND 85 WOUNDED IN CHICAGO SHOOTINGS LAST SUNDAY. TEN WERE SHOT IN BROOKLYN OVER LAST WEEKEND. THOSE WERE BLACK ON BLACK CRIMES, NOT WHITE COPS KILLING BLACK PEOPLE. RILEY NOTES “THERE WERE NO MASSIVE PROTESTS OVER THEM, NO TEARFUL COMMENTARY ON CABLE NEWS AND SOCIAL MEDIA, NO WHITE POLITICIANS WRAPPED IN KENTE CLOTH TAKING A KNEE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.”
THAT LAST ONE WAS POLITICAL THEATER AT ITS WORST. WHAT IS NEEDED, AS I WROTE IN MY COLUMN TUESDAY, IS A CONTRACT WITH BLACK AMERICA, LIKE THE NEWT GINGRICH CONTRACT WITH AMERICA IN THE 1990’S. SCHOOL CHOICE IS THE FIRST STEP IN LIBERATING POOR MINORITY CHILDREN FROM FAILED GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS, BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT ALLOWED THEM TO GO FREE. NOW’S THE TIME. I’M CAL THOMAS.
