Pepple on the "systemic racism" hypocrisy

Dr. John Pepple writes a post about an issue that Instapundit has talked about for years, and which is finally gaining traction on the national scene: left-liberal Democrats seem to want to blame "systemic racism" for the problems afflicting blacks and other intersectionally oppressed minorities, but in truth, the liberals, leftists, and Democrats have been in control of the system for a long, long time... which would seem to imply that any "systemic racism" must be emanating from the left!

Systemic Racism? But You Are the Ones in CONTROL of the System!

Here's an excerpt from Pepple's post:

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been quite baffled by the claim that there is something called systemic racism. I thought whatever racism still existed manifested itself in sporadic, random, non-repeatable incidents done either unintentionally and thoughtlessly by decent people – these are the famed microaggressions – or else deliberately, but by people with virtually no power whatsoever. To learn that our elites think there is systemic racism is completely baffling because they control the system. Are they saying they screwed up? Obviously not. To take the case of Minneapolis, the city is run by Democrats, yet they acted as though they were not at fault for George Floyd’s death, but that Trump was. This is why some liberal friends were totally astonished when we said that Amy Klobuchar was partly to blame. Why, we might just as well have said that Martians were to blame, but our reasoning was perfectly sound. She had had a chance to fire the officer in question a few years ago when a complaint against him was raised, and she didn’t do so.

You can't expect idiots to take the time to think through their positions. That would be asking too much. I'm glad, all the same, that this issue is now front and center in current public discourse. Dunk the liberals' heads in their own garbage, then help them to eat it. Shithole cities have been run by Democrats for years; Dem-run cities with the strictest gun-control laws are the places with the largest amount of gun violence. Anyone else noticing this sick irony? Certainly not liberals, who are experts at blaming others for problems of their own making.
