Actor and well-known leftist activist Danny Glover claims that the police are the last line of defense for white supremacy in the country. The forgotten actor made the claim in an interview that appeared on Variety which mostly talked about the death of George Floyd and the civil unrest that followed.

“But the violence that we see—whether it’s the toxic places where they (black people) live; the inadequacy of health care for them; whether it’s the lack of affordable housing; the absence of jobs at living wages; all those things—that’s basically going unseen. We see the actual violence because the police is what it is. It’s the last line of defense for white supremacy,” Glover said in the interview. Ironically enough Glover’s only famous role is that of playing an LAPD cop in the Lethal Weapon film series. He owes the little fame that he was able to enjoy to the police and yet he’s now criticizing the system from which he benefited so much.

Glover added that violence is ingrained in American culture and that violence is acted out against African Americans by the police. Glover has long been one of the most vocal supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement in Hollywood. He also supported the campaign of socialist Bernie Sanders. He has also expressed support for the brutal dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuela who managed to bring the country with the largest oil reserves in the world into economic ruin in just a few years.

Glover is also a strong supporter of reparations for African Americans in the form of financial support. The reparations are payment for slavery which white taxpayers would have to shoulder. Glover has testified before Congress regarding the question of those payments and is actively pushing for it.

Glover is not mentioning the fact that most of the violence committed against African Americans was actually perpetrated by other blacks. They are not going to mention that because it runs counter to the narrative that they are trying to push. Reparation is also racism against white people but activists like Glover don’t see it that way. They believe that one cannot be racist against whites. They can do whatever they want to do.
