For John, BLUF: This might be a good discussion, if this isn't a bluff like then AG Eric Holder gave us, 10 years ago. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From MSM News, by Reporter Rachel Frazin, 9 August 2019.
Here is the lede plus three:
Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (D) said Thursday that "systemic racism" in the U.S. "is a white problem," following a mass shooting over the weekend that authorities said involved a suspect believed to be a white supremacist.I am not sure about the logic of tying the Dayton shooting last weekend to racism. The shooter, now dead, was a Caucasian. His first victim, it appears, was his sister.Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Miami, the South Bend, Ind., mayor said the U.S. was "by no means even halfway done dealing with systemic racism in this country."
"I hope over the course of this campaign, you will see how I speak about these issues - not only with mostly black audiences, but with mostly white audiences," Buttigieg continued. "Because if there's anything we've learned in the last few days, systemic racism is a white problem."
Buttigieg's remarks come as President Trump faces scrutiny for his rhetoric following two mass shootings over the weekend that left at least 31 dead and dozens other wounded.
The deeper question is if it is all Caucasians or just some faction or factions. Or is it a problem for Caucasians to solve? By themselves?
If the problem is Caucasians, then who? Republicans only? Deplorables? Deplorables with Fascist leanings, but not those aligned with Antifa?
I think we need more definition from Mayor Pete.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
