The Fall of Minneapolis

This is the one that Glenn Loury and John McWhorter discussed the other day. Two Black professors, men mostly of the Left, now convinced that the George Floyd trial was a travesty. That deeply harmed America. But which they think no one is going to change their minds about, no matter the facts. 

I’ve watched the doco and I wonder: is there anyone — the Minnesota Governor, the Minneapolis Mayor, the Minneapolis Police Commissioner, Keith Ellison, Nancy Pelosi, President Biden? — involved in pushing what turns out to be a falsehood, an enormously damaging falsehood, who thinks at night “oh boy, what I did, what I let happen, what I enabled, what I encouraged, was really, really bad for America”?

It appears not a one. Indeed most are proud of what they did. Which has so profoundly damaged America,  people of colour the most.
