Episode notes
Misplaced BLM Protests
- The Black Lives Matter movement's protests against Daniel Penny's acquittal are misplaced.
- The protests are racist, as a black ex-Marine subduing Neely would be deemed a hero.
Counterproductive Rhetoric
- A BLM protester's use of "G.D. America" is counterproductive.
- It emulates Reverend Wright, whose similar rhetoric damaged his reputation.
Moving Beyond Race
- The Daniel Penny case involved people of various races on both sides of the issue.
- This demonstrates a move beyond race, with the black mayor praising Penny and multiracial jury acquitting him.
