SNL Cold Open: Racism Only Way Derek Chauvin Could be Acquitted
“The video footage alone should tell you everything you need to know about what happened,” one of the white anchors said; the black anchors called Chauvin’s defense “deplorable,” saying that raising Floyd’s drug use was an “act of desperation.”
That may reflect the mainstream media consensus, but it does not reflect reality in the courtroom, where the defense spent all week poking holes in the prosecution’s arguments.
The sketch lampooned the supposed racial differences in outlook about the police and the justice system — even among the apparently liberal white journalists. At one point, the two sides turned to the black weatherman for his view, and he said that while, “obviously, it’s an open-and-shut case,” the fact that Chauvin is “a white cop in Minnesota” would be decisive.
One of the black anchors mocked one of her white colleagues throughout by referring to his surname, “Jorgensen.”
At one point, the white anchors suggested that non-violent protest was preferable to destroying property; the black panelists disagreed: “It’s just property”; “There’s insurance.”
