Morgan Freeman said something similar, if I recall, 5 or 10 years ago. I don't even know how that idea can escape your lips. Like how on earth do you look at yourself in the mirror and think, If people just don't talk about racism, it won't exist!! What the actual ****
Charlottesville's First Black Woman Police Chief Fired As Officers Refused to Comply
First, she withdrew officers from a regional drug task force which she saw as targeting low level drug users instead of drug pushers. She then made a move to take resource officers out of schools which often leads to the criminalization of behavioral and disciplinary issues. Brackney was also not a fan of special units, as she believed that these were blind spots in police departments where misconduct and corruption occurs. But everyone was not in agreement.
Many officers felt that dissolving these special units weakened the department’s ability to fight crime, and were also disheartened by the fact that they felt the potential to be promoted to these specific roles were now stripped from their career vision boards. They also felt that Brackney was negative and too quick to punish officers, even as investigations were concluded. They even accused her of pushing her own political aspirations.
“My first concern is that the chief is more focused on her political career and personal interests over the safety and mental health of her officers,” one officer wrote. “She will hang any officer out to dry before she admits any personal wrongdoing.”
Many officers and other government officials also questioned Brackney’s ability to lead effectively.
“In order to dismantle systemic racism and eliminate police violence and misconduct in Charlottesville, we need a leader who is not only knowledgeable in that work, but also is effective building collaborative relationships with the community, the department, and the team at City Hall,” City Manager Chip Boyles wrote in a news release.
Ultimately, the department was left with a third of its positions opened after many officers had been fired or willingly resigned. Boyles fired RaShall Brackney on September 1st of last year, and the former police chief is now suing for both gender and race based discrimination.

Are we talking about the messenger as well as the message?
What good discussion could come from a video posted by Prager U? No different than some media outlets that display dead black bodies with no concern for the dignity of those portrayed anytime there's a tragedy in a poor, black country.

Word?
Anti-CRT Mania and Book Bans are the Latest Tactics to Halt Racial Justice
Bans on Truth, History and Racial Discourse by State
Law passed or other state level action - RedBill introduced or pre-filed - Yellow
Bill died in committee or failed to advance = Blue
Anti-Critical Race Theory and Banned Books Halt Justice
Today’s anti-CRT movement epitomizes yet another dangerous and anti-democratic effort to suppress and deny the voices, power, and lived experiences of Black and Brown people in America. Now the target is the truth. The implications of this are already being felt across the country.
