Paul is back on the old saw… whining about what he calls DEI — boring us all, into the otherwise well-started New Year. Y A W N.

In his false telling of this mythology, it all came from one case of “murder by cop”, in Minneapolis — just three years ago — the murder by choking to death, of George Floyd — by then Minneapolis police officer, now Arizona murder inmate, Derek Chavin.

Paul’s premise is demonstrably false. There are hundreds (with 135 such cases just since 2015!) of nearly identical cases (spanning a minimum of six documented decades), except that this one was caught on video, in full, in broad daylight, from at least five separate angles. [At the bottom here, I will string out just a few of those victims’ names.]

But beyond that, Paul has forever held a racial/ethnic grudge against people who are better at various things than he is — but happen to be… Black or red or brown… or (gasp!) women.

So, he is forever on the lookout for ways to blame his own lack of achievement on an unfair advantage bestowed on others.

This from a guy who did his undergrad at Dartmouth, and law at Stanford.

A guy who says Harvard’s president achieved — solely due to her skin color.

A guy… well, you get the picture.

A project entitled “Say Their Names” presents each dead person of color — from police excessive, escalating force — all unarmed (according to witnesses at the scenes), during the encounter.

As I say, there are 135 names, just starting in 2015. Here are a few of those, from inside Minnesota itself: Ricky Cobb, O’kwan Sims, Howard Johnson, Andrew Teckle Sundberg, Amir Locke, Kokou Fiafonou, Winston Smith Jr., Daunte Wright, Dolal Idd, George Floyd, Nekeya Moody, Noah Erickson, Ronald Davis, Kobe Dimock-Heisler, Isak Aden, Jamar Clark, Sam Holmes, Marcus Golden, Charles Logan Sr., Edmond Fair, Terrance Franklin, Alden Anderson, Victor Gaddy Sr., and Mark Henderson (like at least ten of the above, MN police admit he was unarmed; in a few cases, the MN police claim the dead man was armed, but witness accounts contradict these statements).

This is just in Minnesota, and not remotely all the cases, even in that geography, since 2015.

Paul is thus… an unblinking, sheet donning… racist. He has seen this data. But he ignores it, to offer his invective.
