When the Biden administration announced that it was opening a civil rights investigation into the death of Tyre Nichols at a Memphis traffic stop, experts and legal scholars were baffled.
“What is the basis for believing that the police beat Nichols to his death because he was a black man?” former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wondered.
“That civil-rights provision makes it a crime for people acting willfully and under color of law (e.g., on-duty police officers) to deprive others of their federal rights or subject them to discriminatory treatment by reason of their ‘color, or race,’ he pointed out.
Biden’s racist DOJ operatives have repeatedly and wrongly targeted police officers using Section 242. Some of the officers, like those lynched as a result of George Floyd’s drug overdose death, like Tou Thao, the child of Hmong refugees, were members of minority groups. But the DOJ, under the Trump administration, avoided prosecuting the law enforcement personnel, three of whom were black, in the accidental death of drug dealer Freddie Gray.
The Section 242 investigation of the black police officers on the scene in Memphis during the Tyre Nichols death shows that Biden’s DOJ is pursuing a much more ambitious agenda.
The real case, the ideological one, not the technical one that the Biden DOJ may choose to pursue for ideological reasons, is being laid out in press releases and editorials.
“Black cops killed Tyre Nichols. Systemic racism is the death of us all,” a Boston Globe column contended. “5 Black Memphis Cops Upheld Institutional And Cultural Racism In Tyre Nichols’ Murder,” Forbes raved. The Washington Post headlined it, “Black Memphis police spark dialogue on systemic racism in the U.S.” “Our country will continue to sanction the taking of black lives with impunity until it embraces an affirmative vision of public safety and dismantles its racist policing system rooted in enslavement,” Rep. Cori Bush of the Squad fumed.
The transition from ‘white people’ to ‘whiteness’, from the idea of racism as an individual view to a structural one, had been building up for some time. Many conservatives focused on how critical race theory affected white people to understand what it was really engineered to do.
And the real ends that the Tyre Nichols case is being used for.
Civil rights legislation began by removing laws that were plainly discriminatory, then it began targeting laws that were said to be discriminatory in impact, whether intentionally or unintentionally so that, for example, requiring high school diplomas for certain jobs was branded as discriminatory because fewer black people had graduated high school. This form of civil rights authoritarianism, known as disproportionate impact, had until recently governed life with everything from voter IDs to credit card only businesses and dress codes falling afoul of it.
But the next leap to systemic racism ushered in a truly totalitarian system. Influenced by claims like those put out by racialist author Ibram X. Kendi, everything that was not explicitly anti-racist, that is dedicated to dismantling racism, was deemed racist. Neutrality and fairness were impossible. Equality and a color-blind society were racist lies. Equity demanded not only special advantages for certain minorities and the degradation of white people, but total social change.
Anything made by white people, especially those predating diversity, equity and inclusion training, was inherently racist. Newton’s laws, Beowulf and the Constitution were the work of white people who had not taken into account diverse perspectives. Anything built on their work was systemically racist. A black scientist, literature professor or constitutional scholar was still upholding whiteness and systemic racism by engaging with these works and teaching them.
Civil rights legislation had given federal authorities supremacy over all businesses anywhere in the country by classifying them as public accommodations and over state elections long after segregation had become a distant memory. Disproportionate impact had opened up virtually any area of public life to federal control but still maintained an evidentiary standard. But the only evidentiary standard needed for systemic racism is that white people were involved. Once.
The Memphis police has a black female police chief, a black female union head and a majority black police force. If any organization ought to be immune to accusation of racism, it’s this one.
But not even a black-led and 58% black organization is immune to charges of systemic racism.
Systemic racism isn’t just about calling white people racists. Virtually every previous phase of what was once a civil rights movement, but has long since degenerated into a racket, hate group or leftist revolutionary cause, did that as well. The genius of systemic racism is how it encompasses minorities, including black people, as racists if they don’t go along with it.
Systemic racism uses the existence of white people as a weapon against aspirational minorities.
Black nationalists had long ago come up with the underlying racialist idea of systemic racism. They denounced black businessmen and police officers for acting white rather than finding their inner blackness by joining imaginary pseudo-Islamic cults and Marxist terrorist movements.
Obama, who probably knew it all too well, complained about the stigma that “says a black youth with a book is acting white.” Systemic racism flipped it around, but retained the idea. “Systemic racism” in “non-white people”: a common woke phrase, is just acting white. But it applies the idea of “acting white” on an institutional level. The Memphis police department was acting white by trying to stop crime from being committed by black people against other black people.
The idea that police officers ought to prevent crime and capture criminals is, as Rep. Bush put it, a “racist policing system rooted in enslavement and government control” that has to be replaced with “an affirmative vision of public safety”. That is to say a welfare state that treats criminals like victims and tells their victims that they need to understand that the criminals aren’t to blame.
The muggings, drug dealing and gang shootings are capitalism’s fault.
Systemic racism is aimed like a bullet at institutions and at our nation. Its grand scope captures everything that exists, from the Constitution, inherently illegitimate because of its whiteness, to our laws, our culture and every single human being regardless of their race.
That is what the Biden administration is taking aim at. Not just police officers, but policing, not five black men, but the entire idea of public safety and the criminal justice system. And beyond, using it as a precedent for subjecting all institutions to a new standard of systemic racism.
If a black institution can be accused of harboring systemic racism against black people within its very soul, so can any institution. And the only solution will be federal oversight of every institution which will be required to affirmatively demonstrate that it is reinventing itself in line with diversity, equity and inclusion into a truly anti-racist entity by accepting leftist dogma.
Systemic racism is a lie. The only systemic racism still left in America has been imposed by the distorted version of civil rights currently going by the name of diversity, equity and inclusion with its affirmative action racial preferences and critical race theory indoctrination programs.
It’s not about fighting racism, it’s about taking over America under the guise of racism.
If you doubt that, just look at the “systemic racism” of the black Memphis police force.
“George Floyd’s overdose death.”
There’s video footage, you heartless creep. You really have no shame.
George Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest. He was a thieving drug addict that was of no use to himself or anyone else. The solution to all the problems every other race has with the black one is and has always been to return them to their ancestral home and secure their borders so they can’t burden the rest of the races again. If one or some of them show up elsewhere there should be a worldwide bounty on them to discourage such adventurism. In other words, the rest of the world is sick of the black burden.
And in the video footage, as has been noted many times, Floyd is seen complaining about not being able to breath, as the fentanyl was starting to shut down his system, considerably before he was on the ground.
Return ‘them’ to their ancestral home?
First, like any free individuals, they would have to agree to it – and actually some 18,000 of them did, back in early 19th century, when the American Colonization Society established Liberia to provide those of them who wished to go back to their roots with a State in Africa. However, according to wikipedia : “The Americo-Liberian settlers did not relate well to the indigenous peoples they encountered” – which is an undersatement, and the tribal system and other conditions prevalent in Africa made it far from a successful move.
Kipling had it right when he wrote of “the white man’s burden”.
And you really have no intelligence (but your effeminate reaction is noted).
It obviously escaped your comprehension that autopsies are done for a reason.
The video looked bad.
But video (especially when truncated by activist A.G. Ellison) can be deceiving.
Drugs in his system, three times the lethal amount, don’t exactly pop on film.
Also, the autopsy showed no damage to his neck.
The street-trash scum had taken lethal amounts before to avoid arrest in Chicago. He was rushed to the hospital and, as such, that overdose wasn’t fatal.
The Chicago cops saving that scumbag was unfortunate, because had he died then, a pregnant woman wouldn’t have been pistol whipped, five innocent cops wouldn’t have been fed to a show trial, 50 people wouldn’t have been murdered by the resulting/staged BLM riots, and 100s of minority owned businesses wouldn’t have been burned down.
But,hey . . . the cultivated riots helped rig the 2020 election to help rid us of the bad orange man, so Saint Floyd died for a good cause.
Stop the motherhood Mickorn. Get off your white horse. Read Floyd’s autopsy report before you spot off. It’s all in there.
You mean this one?
https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MNHENNE/2020/06/01/file_attachments/1464238/2020-3700%20Floyd,%20George%20Perry%20Update%206.1.2020.pdf?referringSource=articleShare
It lists cause of death as homicide.
Yet the autopsy lists nearly THREE times the lethal dose of fentanyl (along with meth.)
Since you’re not too bright, I’ll explain the obvious – the street-trash overdosed like he almost did in Chicago. (He wolfed a near fatal amount to avoid arrest.)
He pulled the same stunt, because he’s dumber than you you are, and the 2nd time it cost him.
The price of fentanyl has dropped dramatically due to Sleepy’s bullshit border policy, just like fentanyl overdoses have skyrocketed.
Idiot pricks like you make excuses for it.
Then why was the cause of death listed as “homicide”? I can’t wait to see the absurd – and ever expanding – conspiracy you’ll construct to try and explain that.
There were contradictory autopsies. A politically correct cause of death was desired. Was anyone surprised the results of the paid examiners reflected precisely what was needed for a large payout from the city taxpayers? Was it even difficult to find a whore who would do the job?
Even if Floyd had indeed been murdered just because he was black, that does not make it possible to affirm that THE police is racist… The fact is that he did not die because he was black,
The reality is that those who kill overwhelmingly black people are black people. The reality is that there are so-called people of color in all sectors of activity and at all levels of the hierarchy. That culturally, white supremacy is zero. The theory of white supremacy is not propagated in American culture today, in cinema, in talk shows, in kindergarten, college, high school, university, in television movies, in books, in the journalism… The KKK was fought from the beginning, among others by Ulysses S. Grant. There is always be in the United States a movement opposed to racism, and for a long time a movement radically opposed to slavery. White supremacists represent only a tiny, tiny part of the population. A few thousand active members, out of a population of 331.9 million. And they have absolutely no impact at the national level and are marginalized.
All that is ideological and political recuperation, it’s blah blah.
My father worked for a very long time with black Americans, he never heard them talk about this so-called systemic racism.
— “Each year, more than 10 million arrests are made by police departments nationwide. In 2019, 14 unarmed black people and 25 unarmed white people were killed by police. A Department of Justice report Justice of 2001 said that “when a white officer kills a criminal, that criminal is usually white…And when a black officer kills a criminal, that criminal is usually black.” Since then, nothing has changed. , says the report.”
— “Nationally, law enforcement made approximately 10,085,207 arrests in 2019. Of those arrests, 495,871 were for violent crimes and 1,074,367 for property crimes. (Note: The program DUC does not collect traffic citation data.) (See Table 29.)” – FBI – Crime in the United States

This is called context. Thank you.
Did you see the entire, nine minute video, or did you just watch the edited six minutes that went viral over social media? Didn’t think so.
You have been played. If the cops would have taken their time and let the dug filled criminal have his fit he would have died. An overdose makes you stop breathing. I’m sure others will not make this mistake again.
There is video evidence and I suggest you take a closer, and this time unbiased look at it. It shows conclusively that thug George died from a drug overdose and was in serious trouble well before any police intervention. Try pressing on the side of your neck. It does not restrict breathing. Only pressing on the front does that. Floyd was a moron who was responsible for his own death and the innocent police officers were made the patsy to appease idiotic black rage which was only an excuse to go on a stealing and destroying rampage. Grow a few brain cells!
Brilliant insights.
Remarkable ignorance by some of the public about the history of savage behavior by blacks in Africa against other blacks, and extremely savage attacks on whites during the colonial period. Torturing and killing innocent women and children for example.
Black policemen during the colonial period in Africa had to be strictly supervised and controlled to prevent them from abusing their power against other blacks, including their own tribes. That was one of the main things black tribes demanded of white colonialists when making peace treaties to end black wars against the whites, was that the whites curb the abuses, by black policemen hired by the whites, against the tribesmen.
One can see the beginnings of the current problems already in the British press during the colonial period. The public in Britain had no idea what savagery the whites in Africa faced from the tribes.
There has always been tribal wars and slavery.
As someone who has been around blacks of all classes in my 55 years I can tell you nobody is more viscous to their own as black people. I was so horrified that I moved my biracial sons out Akron Ohio back to my little hick town so they would not be murdered before they graduated.
I wonder why Newsmax and Real America’s Voice don’t have Daniel on their show every once in a while to provide commentary on current events – at least I haven’t seen him on those shows if he has been interviewed.
Because he lies constantly and has no interest in basic journalistic principles?
Nah, Newsmax doesn’t care about that.
Must be because nobody really cares about his brilliant analysis.
You are not only a liar, but a cowardly and illiterate slanderer, so justifiably lacking in self-esteem stemming from that illiteracy and cowardice, that you comically flaunt that here, where you are outnumbered by readers and authors literate in history. And because of that reality, you flail out even more, in envious slanders and infantile rage. Lies and character assassinations, the tools of simpletons.
Nobody cares. That must be why you’re here posting on every one of of my articles.
Thank you Snuffy. I do interviews pretty regularly on various shows, but more often radio. I had four interviews on Tuesday.
Here’s an interview from this morning.
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1146671/12171154
“It’s not about fighting racism, it’s about taking over America under the guise of racism.”
That’s the way I have always seen it.
You have a point.
The fact that George Zimmerman was labeled a”white” Hispanic, and had his 911 phone call deceptively edited by NBC is an example.
George Zimmerman, officer Chauvin, and the four other cops have something in common . . . they all had their lives ruined for doing the right thing.
(BTW: Who calls the cops and stays on the phone with ’em while planning to murder someone?? Uh . . . No one.)
Why is it only blacks who seem to have so much trouble with the police? If we have systemic racism and white supremacy how are Jewish folks, or Asians not being beaten in the streets by police?
Why doesn’t systemic racism stop Asians and people of Indian descent from earning the highest median household incomes in the US.? Boy, those whites are doing a terrible job if systemic racism is their goal. Whites are in the middle when it comes to median household income.
Blacks wouldn’t be able to scam the system with their race hoaxes if whites didn’t let them get away with it. This is what guilt ridden white liberals have done.
Blacks will never be satisfied. Ever. This country, majority white, has bent over backwards to help blacks. We appease blacks with the degenerate MLK holiday, rename schools, buildings and streets for blacks, have an entire month called “black History Month” and if that’s not enough another fake black holiday called Juneteenth. Racial quota’s, lowering standards and affirmative action all favor blacks
How long does it take for a group of people to get it’s act together? Whites are used as the scapegoat for the failures of blacks as a group. Black still can’t grasp to be successful requires to get your HS diploma, don’t have kids until you are married and stable, don’t commit crimes, and work hard. If blacks did this they wouldn’t be front page news.
Is there a more useless commentator than Andy McCarthy?
Second to the last sentence: …not about fighting racism, about taking over America under the guise of racism.”
Exactly. It’s a disinformation campaign being carried out by the communists in our midst. “Disinformation” by Lt. Gen. I. M. Pacepa offers valuable insights into how these operations are and have been successfully carried out by Soviet/Russian intelligence.
I move ever closer to the realization that it is finally time to move, and re-locate to somewhere where, in retirement, I will merely be able to be left alone. That’s all–just to be left alone. Even if it means having to put up with terrible winters.
Where? America was freedom’s last redoubt. The only other place I can think of is Antarctica, where the winters are terrible and the summers are worse.
With poor hiring practices, a police force can become just another gang.
With affirmative action and racial quotas, the police departments might not have a lot of choice in their hiring. Sometimes they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, or get sued.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s office has several gangs already. Are they white supremacist? Well, with names like “The Vikings” you tell me.
or the Banditos
last two sheriffs have been Latino
We all pause to watch the point WHOOSH! right over Greenfield’s head.
Read this slowly and maybe you’ll understand.
The Police
have formed
criminal gangs
that operate
that’s O-P-E-R-A-T-E
[Sound it out. Oh, never mind.]
inside the department.
It’s all just culture.
Great column. The constant, unrelenting, demonization of a discreet race, ethnicity, or religion in a society is usually followed by oceans of blood being shed. It’s never a good sign. In the instant case it’s also paradoxically a dehumanizing method of depriving blacks of any agency by making any bad thing they do the result of some sort of manipulation by whitey. That this sickness is pushed by our elites in politics, media, and academia is no accident and is truly disturbing.
Victimhood and incitement are destructive to both sides. Obviously more painful to those who are targeted, but long term destructive to the groups that buy into hate and the victimhood as their identity.
George Floyd committed suicide, by virtue of the number of bad decisions he made up til that point.
He deserved NONE of the accolades of virtue ascribed tom him.
The issue isn’t “racism.” That’s too broad. It is hatred of whites. Notice how so many blacks and their white Leftist enablers are blaming “white racism” for the suspect’s death even though all five cops on the scene were black (and beneficiaries, by the way, of the City of Memphis’ affirmative action quota system for hiring). They are rewriting American history to cast whites as the eternal villain. That is what needs to be stopped.
Marxism turns criminals into victims and martyrs and lawabiding citizens into criminals whio deserve whatever happened to them
That’s the essence of revolution. Overturn society. Make the people you want to go after into targets and mobilize the dregs of society as your heroes. then invert morality so that your thugs are the good guys.
The conversation has expanded from Tyre Nichols to all other past incidents. I believe that a typical stop for a driving offense. As I understand the situation, Tyre refused to stop so the chase was on. The first mistake was made by Tyre. He should have complied with commands. The second mistake was when he did stop, he was yanked out of the car and flung to the ground. That was a mistake by the cops. The third mistake was a free for all beatdown by 5 cops was overkill. Again, a mistake by the cops. What was the reason for so many cops kicking and punching a suspect when he was already rendered non- threatening. A mistake by the cops.
What they did to the young man was uncalled for. There is no defense for their actions. I believe he was murdered, (death by the pummeling and kicking to the head). It is never okay to apprehend a suspect in that matter.
Now the are trying to say it was racist. I believe they are wrong in their assessment. It was not racism, it was cops who couldn’t control their anger. Anger is the real reason for the beatdown. It would have happened to any ethnic individual. The only reason they want to say racism was the cause is because they labeled those cops “white supremist” because they are anti cop. It is just another lame excuse by the socialist left!
Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
The MSM feeds on “white guilt”. That guilt fuels their headlines and content. An incident like the one in Memphis is fodder for days and an opportunity to roll out all the “anti-racist” talking heads to further drive the narrative that America, at its core, is white supremacist. The MSM, in essence, is nothing but a paid conglomerate of unconscionable “shit disturbers” who will say anything for money. It wouldn’t surprise me if, in the near future, all the “talent” is replaced with CGI imagery and AI scripts.
So Greenfield finally came out and said what everybody has known for some time now. Greenfield is the first reputable journalist to do so; maybe it’s time for others to follow his lead.
This Front Page Magazine article had well revealed the truth with the statement. ”Some of the officers, like those lynched as a result of George Floyd’s drug overdose death.”
For the police officer, Alexander Kueng, who was sentenced to prison by the politically correct court of “law” for the death of that hoodlum George Floyd completely refused to take into consideration everything that really mattered.
The PC court didn’t take into account that Mr. Floyd was both a drug trafficking and drug using hooligan and that one of the reason his died that night was not only that the officer used force on him, which is the only language that thugs and gangsters are able to understand because that will not respond to reason. Floyd died because of his drug abuse about with the force that officer used on him.
If Floyd hadn’t resisted the officer force then would not have been needed to control him.
In the light of Bible it’s wrong to resist of police officers or their orders. Romans 13:2.
Furthermore as this CP unjust prison sentence upon Mr Kueng is a reminder for Christians to pray for him since he was wrongly sentenced and that Bible also instructs in Hebrews 13 :3. “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them – Those who are mistreated – since you yourselves are in the body also.” [N.K.J.V.]
Some things need to be known, if for nothing else but for the sake a balanced perspective
Which is that George Floyd was a vicious hardened criminal therefore it’s very wrong to make some kind of a “hero” out of hooligan was such criminal that he not was not only on drugs but was also involved in drug trafficking .
Mr. Floyd was so totally despicable that he even entered a pregnant woman’s home under a false premise of deception to let his lawless ruffians lot her home , all the while he threateningly pointed a gun to that pregnant woman’s stomached ‘You better cooperate.”
The list of crimes that Floyd was guilty of can to go on. It’s absurd as well as wrong to make a “hero” out of heinously wicked thug. As the Bible reads “Woe to those who call evil good…” Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]
Who put them there?
Who trained them?
Certain groups of blacks are being used while other black are being abused!
The elitocracy is in charge!!!!
I wonder!
What we think we see may not be what the truth is about!
We have been manipulated, brainwashed ad nauseam by the MSM, elitocracy, gov etc…
They keep pushing the RACIST card because it benefit them BOTH WAYS!
Take a look at VERY single black American neighborhood across America.
Now take a look at 98% of countries across Africa.
See a pattern here?.
Now take a look at EVERY South East Asian neighborhood across America.
Now take a look at 99% of countries across South East Asia.
See a pattern here?.
” First we have to clean up the neighborhood”… Malcolm X.
Riddle me this peoples of America, would you chose to go into a black area from Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Coffee and Cake, or an Asian area for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Coffee and Cake.
Now ask yourself WHY you made that choice.
Blacks in the USA need to learn that success is the best revenge and stop blaming everybody else for the problems within their own communities that they themselves have created.
Asians are attacked on both Coasts, Jews are attacked on both Coasts… By blacks.
More young gangster niggas are shot dead by other young gangster niggas in Chicago than the Taliban are killing their own in Kabul… Cant mention any of that, but I do, as the truth hurts.
Blacks are now The Open Enemy of White people, the Race that created everything in this world … when the war starts , we will exterminate The Black Primates
My predictions over seventy-five years have been remarkably accurate, and here is another one. This society is going to continue to dissolve into greater chaos. It won’t matter a hill of beans which Party is in power, with the one intentionally destroying constitutional government and the other working to establish the appearance of a return to government by federalism. (That’s a special irony because it was the GOP that introduced Fascism to America before Mussolini was credited with inventing it, and governed by Fascism from 1860 to 1885 when Democrats picked up the reins to continue governing the same way. The GOP also ended Federalism on March 2, 1867 with its Reconstruction Act, imposed on the people of the Union and the conquered Confederacy over a presidential veto.) Back to the main point: Crime and terror will increase, creating more chaos, thanks to the open border of Democrats and their importation of millions of illegal aliens, a policy of not enforcing laws in the cities, an explosion of addiction, and support of the academic insanity we call Woke. We will see terror on the streets, birth of a patriotic American Insurgency with military and political “leaders” (office-holders) the targets, and eventually a civil war if China does not move in with its overwhelming numbers of troops. That is, you will see it. I won’t. I’m too old. From that turmoil may arise three separate American nations. One may be free.
