The Memoryholed Man: George Floyd
On the sixth anniversary of George Floyd's death, the national media doesn't want to talk about the Racial Reckoning it ginned up.
As of the afternoon of May 25, 2026, exactly one half-dozen years since the demise of George Floyd launched the media’s “Racial Reckoning,” the national press really doesn’t want to mention that whole hullabaloo:
“George Floyd? Huh? Sorry, the name doesn’t ring a bell. George Michael, you say? Boy George? Who? May 25, 2020? Hhhmmmmm … Oh, yeah, that had something do with covid, didn’t it? Covid sure caused a lot of stuff!”
For example, the New York Times, which has run 6,324 articles mentioning the name “George Floyd,” isn’t commemorating the sixth anniversary. It hasn’t published his name since May 19, 2026.
After all mentioning May 25, 2020 would just give Steve Sailer another excuse to publish one of his Hate Graphs about how the triumph of Black Lives Matter got so many black lives murdered and splattered on the asphalt when we made depolicing a fad. Let’s not reopen that whole can of worms …
Paywall here.
