Five black Memphis police officers are charged with murder in the killing of black man Tyree Nichols.

But the left still says it's systemic racism.

A highly touted think tank that promoted the Russian collusion narrative was a hoax, but the media promoted them anyway.

And the media tried to excuse a Palestinian Arab murdering seven Jewish synagogue goers all in the name of peace.

Well, as we've discussed many times in the past here on the Ben Shapiro show, narrative trumps

all when it comes to the left wing. And it never has this been truer than in the case of Tyree Nichols. Tyree Nichols is a 29-year-old black man who was hospitalized with a confrontation after a confrontation with police during a traffic stop earlier this month. The officers were then fired this in Memphis, Tennessee. They were accused of using excessive force an encounter that was captured on the video. We're going to go through the video because it's kind of important to see what exactly was going on. The key fact here, because, again, narrative means everything to the left, is that the five police officers who have now been charged, they were all arrested on charges, including second-degree murder. Their names are Tedarius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmett Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith, they were all arrested, and they were all

black. And the victim in this particular case was also black. This does not stop the left from

claiming that white supremacy is to blame because white supremacy is the ghost in the machine. It is

responsible for literally everything in life. Just as to the

feminist movement, everything in the world is the patriarchy. To the left, when it comes to

race, every single thing is white supremacy, even if it is black police officers who are beating

and effectively killing a black man. It is still white supremacy. One of the worst things about politics is that single

factor analysis tends to be the most easily available way of approaching politics. And it's also

the worst way. People tend to think very simplistically about politics just as they think about

other things in their life. And so if you are a hammer in search of a nail, everything looks like a

nail. And so if you are a left winger on race,, everything looks like a nail. And so if you are a left

winger on race, everything looks like white supremacy. If you're a feminist, everything looks like

the patriarchy. If you're a Marxist, everything looks like class warfare. Now, the reality is that

life is much more complicated than that. That there are a bunch of different forces that play on

individuals in our world and that it's a combination of those forces and the individual decisions made by those individuals that leads to particular action. But when it comes to politics, the easiest thing is to blame some sort of gigantic force and then say that you are fighting that force. And if you fight that force properly, well, then this thing never would have happened. If you're a Marxist, if you just fight the predations of capitalism,
