After George Floyd killing, Trump avoids talk of racial bias

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his comments since George Floyd died, President Donald Trump has shared lots of opinions about the need for “law and order,” about fighting crime and the dangerous ideas of the “liberal left.” When it comes to addressing racism, not so much.

Trump has remained largely silent on that, except to argue that a strong economy is the best antidote. He insists he’s “done more for the black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”

But the lack of substantive discussion of racism by the White House has opened the president to criticism that he has failed to show leadership during the unrest following Floyd's death and has inflamed the situation with his “law and order” mantra and tweets about looting and shooting, vicious dogs and ominous weapons.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, says Trump’s relative silence on racism and harsh rhetoric toward protesters have created a confounding dynamic for a consequential national conversation.

1. Most of the racists I have met are the same way. They talk

In code, but don’t want to talk about it directly. They know it is wrong, but they don’t care and don’t want it to change

2. Trump race speech will come across as contrived and insincere. IMHO
