Larry Elder - "Police Systemic Racism Is a Dangerous Lie"


Larry Elder drops so many Truth Bombs in this interview with KK and FF on Triggernometry:  "Fascinating conversations with interesting people".
I first heard of Elder some years ago. He was then — and clearly still is — able to quote clearly and quickly so many facts and figures about this issue, all of which are checkable and all of which, for the ones I have checked, are spot on.
Sadly it's not about truth and facts any more. It's about feelings
Larry does his bit, to being rationality and actual facts, figures and recommendations to improve, not just here on Triggernometry, but on his daily own radio show as well. More power to Larry, the wide elder.
Pity America's leaders won't, or at least the current admin won't (Trump might have but he was too incompetent). They won't, because they're so invested in the dominant narrative — about systemic racism and police hunting down Blacks to kill them. For for the Democrats that narrative helps them keep 95% of the African-American vote. For CNN, MSNBC, etc, it's ratings (though also, as Elder points about, there's likely many young cubs who buy the dominant narrative).
Konstantin and Francis ask Larry what's the solution to the big gaps in achievement between African-American and Whites or Asian Americans. 
His answer comes just before the end and I won't spoil it. Listen on…
This is a fascinating interview.
