TYRE NICHOLS’ DEATH DOESN’T PROVE WHITE SUPREMACY, IT PROVES A NEED TO INFLAME FEAR OF WHITE SUPREMACY

“…By rule, tragedies involving police officers only garner coverage when the officer is white and the casualty is black. Yet the death of Tyre Nichols remains a focal point across newsrooms two weeks after the release of the body cam footage.

In January, five black officers beat Nichols, a 29-year-old black man, to the point he died days later in Memphis, Tennessee. Not a single white person physically assaulted Nichols in the tragedy.

The death was an atrocity unrelated to race. Anyone honest would agree.

That does not include the national media. For weeks, so-called journalists have sought to convince the public that Nichols’ death is proof of something more profound than five individuals abusing their powers, violating their oaths as policemen.

CNN analyst Van Jones penned an op-ed arguing “racism” likely “drove” the officers to beat the man. The New York Times attributed a “system” that “fosters racism and violence” against black people to the death.

Struggling author Jemele Hill told a group of young black Vanderbilt students Nichols’ killing demonstrated how the police force is “designed” not to protect black Americans. The Boston Globe cited systemic racism as the cause of the death.

MSNBC, Al Sharpton, the Washington Post, and the increasingly large group of usual suspects echoed the same sentiment: that Tyre Nichols is evidence that the blue turns even black officers into vile white supremacists.

One might wonder what evidence exists to support that narrative. After all, outlets continue to say what happened in Memphis was racially motivated but don’t provide any proof the officers exercised brutality based on race.

That’s because there isn’t any proof. The portrayal of the incident is a diversion, a means to stoke racial hostility…”
