Journalists Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, authors of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “His Name Is George Floyd,” are still unclear why they were told they couldn’t read from their book or talk about systemic racism to a room full of high school students in Memphis.
Two days before an event at Whitehaven High School, they said they were “blindsided” by the last-minute restrictions, which they believed event organizers issued in accordance with Tennessee laws restricting certain books in schools. They said they’d also been told the week before the appearance that their book wouldn’t be distributed at the event.
One thing is for certain, the authors said: The students paid the price ultimately.
Your assumption that I’m turning a blind eye to it does not make it so, sweaty.
Prove me wrong! Oh wait—you can’t, because systematic racism is a theory, period, not a fact, and any evidence in support of “systematic” racism driving our society is at best cherry picked. Go fuck yourself.
You’re the one claiming it doesn’t exist, sunshine. Systemic racism is a fact, no matter how upset it makes you.
