Today Theo Von released a conversation with Christopher Curtis, a former Marine and Las Vegas police sergeant who now works as a consultant and public speaker and all-around advocate for policing as an institution. Von, unsurprisingly, offered the perfect audience, gullibly eating up reams of propaganda about Black crime rates and the role of race in policing generally. Curtis spent a long segment defending Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis cop who murdered George Floyd and more recently has become a cause célèbre among right-wingers seeking his pardon. (“I have yet to see a piece of evidence that Derek Chauvin did that because George Floyd is Black.”) Elsewhere he argued (and Von agreed) that the problem isn’t racism but bias, illustrating this point with a bizarre story about a man he heckled in an airport:


Von: I've seen—I've thought that, because the pimps that I've met—the pimps that I've met, I've only maybe met three pimps, but two and a half of them, or one of them was mixed, but two of them were full, or potentially full Black


Von: And I also don't know—that kind of bums me out sometimes because it's like, well, I would like to go support more Black-owned businesses and see them in certain areas probably. But I think there's sometimes where I'm just probably afraid. It's like, I don't want to risk my safety today to do that.


Von: That could be true. But I think more people now, I don't think that there's more racism than there used to be. I think sometimes there is a fear of some Black cultures in areas, because I think people probably want to be safe and they fear that some of those areas don't have a lot of safety. But I don't know that that's true.


He's a White Supremacist Propagandist.

And if you can't see it? I can't help.

I'm standing ten toes down on business when it comes to my sister's sons.

They aren't pimps - but this racist assed fucker head thinks he's funny. He's not. When the Regime falls . . .
