MSNBC's Zerlina Maxwell Explains Iowa Caucus Chaos: 'Systemic Racism'
PJ Media Election 2020 ^ | 2-4-2020 | Jim Treacher

If you haven't been following the news about the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses, I'll try to sum it up with a quote from the classic film Idiocracy: Their $#!+ is all retarded. Nobody knows what's going on. It's chaos and pandemonium. Backbiting and recriminations. They're really embarrassed themselves, and it's making them very very angry. In other words, it's absolutely marvelous. I haven't stopped smiling all day.

(snip)

MSNBC's Zerlina Maxwell... knows whose fault this fiasco is. HINT: It rhymes with "white steeple."

"Maybe I'll be the only person to say this today. The Iowa caucus is essentially the perfect example of systemic racism. 91% of the voters in Iowa are white. The reason why you see a drop in turnout -- I'm just speculating here -- it could be perhaps that white children are not in the cages. So when you're talking about the tangible pain that black and brown people are feeling, they feel a sense of urgency because their kids are being put in cages. Right? And so if you have a 91% white electorate, that sense of urgency may not be reflected in the turnout numbers. I'm not saying that's the reason for this. It could be a factor."

Maxwell isn't the only person to say this on cable news, though. CNN's Van Jones said something similar. They both claim that making Iowa the first primary state is racist, because it's predominantly white. And I know that Maxwell and Jones are correct in saying so, because I'm white and they're not. I'm not allowed to disagree with them.

So listen up, Iowa Democrats. This is your wakeup call. ... If you didn't want to get called out for your systemic racism, you shouldn't have decided to be white.

What happened in all previous years when the Iowa Caucus ran smoothly, "somewhat" smoothly by producing timely results?

Was that not also 91% White Iowans? Obama put kids in cages, but now it is white people in Iowa fked up, only black and brown people can feel the pain and the urgency.

This is the dumbest statement I think I've ever seen in print. But then, when have you seen a Liberal accept responsibility for a cluster f***.

Racism. Sure, I’ll buy that.

I was going to go with “Global Warming”, because “Bush’s fault” doesn’t work anymore, now that he’s an obedient republican.

i thought these “brown and black” people were supposed to be ‘hood raised and tough.

They’re not.

they’re just a bunch of whiny b.tches.

They are the least fearsome or tough of any group I know.

Just crybabies.

When echo chamber lies and disinformation is spoon fed 24/7/365, the rats are found to trust one another even less than republicans when forced to deal with only themselves.

Their bull$hittery has long lasting disastrous consequences for mostly themselves.

100 percent :)

There is NO part of her that is not idiot.

I was in my 20s and walking to the Staten Island ferry when a group of obama’s sons got around me.

Trying to act all intimidating I guess.

Looking for 20 dollars or so.

I basically told the head eggplant to go screw himself and he backed off like like a black man from a pregnant woman.

He started to make friendly talk telling me he was a fan of Led Zeppelin lol

What a worthless group.
