System Of A Down Drummer Claims ‘There Is No Systemic Racism In The United States’

System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan has once again posted some of his hard right opinions publicly. In a new Instagram post, Dolmayan labeled the Black Lives Matter movement, a, quote, "Democratic Party fundraiser and propaganda tool."

Dolmayan was responding to the murder of an eight-year-old girl, Secoriea Turner, who was killed when unidentified assailants opened fire into a car she was riding in. According to reports, the attack was supposedly due to the vehicle "crossing a protest barricade" near the Wendy's where police killed Rayshard Brooks this past June.

Dolmayan's Instagram post read: "The supposed black lives matter movement never had legitimacy in my view and were always a Democratic Party fundraiser and propaganda tool. Along with antifa they have shown themselves to be the enemy of the people of the United States and have adopted lawlessness emboldened by a sensationalist media and the moronic Hollywood elites who pander to them at every opportunity. They will be brought to justice but when? How many more innocents need to be murdered before we come to our senses."
