> The exact wording was a reference to what a police chief in Miami said in 1967 it was meant to evoke that event

Really? I'm pretty sure it was meant to /rhyme/.




This is the same attempt at plausible deniability of Republican institutional racism since the Nixon Southern Strategy as clearly, undeniably, articulated by its inventor. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/exclusive-lee-atwa...

Trump peddled a racist lie and conspiracy theory for five years, before he was even in politics. Birtherism. And before that, the Central Park Five. And before that the federal lawsuit against him and his dad for discrimination in housing. It's not plausibly deniable. And this is the same thing.


Exactly re: birtherism and Central Park five. Trump's racism is overt. Not secret messages.


Can’t tell if you are trolling or not. Do some reading. https://www.npr.org/2020/05/29/864818368/the-history-behind-...


If it's genuinely not obvious, I'm surprised you believe a conspiracy that Trump was secretly refering to an event most people have never heard of, rather than rhyming.
