In Bizarre Interview Trump Advisor Denies Systemic Racism Because Whites Voted for Obama

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a trainwreck of an interview, one of President Trump’s economic advisors was asked to clear up past remarks he’d made about the non-existence of systemic racism in America and only made matters worse for himself.

CNBC’s Closing Bell anchor, Sara Eisen, confronted Trump’s director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, on Monday about his previous denials of systemic racism.

“You said, ‘I don’t believe there’s systemic racism in the U.S.,’ which I found surprising given the moment that we’re in, Larry, and given the economic data, which has only exacerbated the inequality we’ve seen, post-COVID-19. Can you just clarify what you meant?” Eisen asked.

But Kudlow did not backtrack and instead boasted that the “American system” is about “equality.”

1. He also said systemic racism doesn't exist because that

would America was bad and wrong. He doesn't believe America is bad or wrong, so systemic racism couldn't exist.

Sadly, that simple minded reasoning isn't uncommon.

2. So, what about the ones who didn't vote for OBAMA?!1

4. Kudlow has to be the most

simple minded mouth piece for the administration. Even trump's lies require a certain amount of creativity. I do believe Kudlow is infantile in his thinking.

5. Like all conservatives, he has confused 'cause' with 'outcome'.

He thinks that because America is about equality, that since we are America, equality is a given.

Winston Churchill was guilty of the same kind of bone-headed pedantry He confused Equal Opportunity with Equal Outcome. He thought that Equal Opportunity meant that we want everyone to be given university degrees and high-paying jobs, when that is clearly Equal Outcome.

What we want is everyone to have equal opportunities to strive for those things, and to succeed or fail on their own merits.
