Let me start with a what I consider a self-evident fact: Joe Biden is not a racist.
Biden has never, to my knowledge been a racist in his public life. And if he was, does anyone with a functioning cerebrum believe for a second that Barack Obama would have selected him as his running mate?
But now the hard left race-baiters who now dominate Democrat politics want him out. Not because Biden seems clearly to have lost a few steps sharpness/mental acuity-wise (which would be a reasonable argument against him), but because…
…get ready, here it comes…
…Joe Biden is a racist.
????????????
Whatever else you think about Mr. Biden, that is ridiculous bordering on insane.
But in just the past 24 hours we have had an article published in Rolling Stone by Jamil Smith calling Biden a racist/segregationist because he once said:
“I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather, I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation, and I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago”
And this, from Anand Giridharadas, editor-at-large for what’s left of Time Magazine, while a guest on POPPO (Professionally Oppressed, Perpetually Pissed Off) Joy Ann Reid’s MSNBC show this morning:
I think that on Thursday night, without intending to, Joe Biden threw himself a retirement party . . . And there have always been, and this is really important to understand, two traditions, two manifestations, of racism in American life. There’s racism with a hood, which is very easy to see, and there’s racism with a smile. There’s the racism of firebombing churches, which is very obvious. And then there’s the racism of “can I touch your hair?” There’s the racism that is flagrant, and the racism that is insidious. And it is very clear, and everybody knows this, that Joe Biden is not out of that tradition, the evil tradition of racism of the hood. And he’s not a white supremacist. But Joe Biden has revealed himself to be deeply steeped in, anchored in, and unwilling to cut ties to that second, subtler tradition of racism in America life . . . It is Thanksgiving-uncle racism, right? . . . Joe Biden has so clearly not changed. He has not changed. He is the person that we all know who is so steeped in the idea that Americaness means whiteness.
Oh, for God sake. Put a sock in it.
Joe Biden is not a racist. Joe Biden has stood for, has strongly advocated for Black causes as long as I can remember – which happens to include his entire political career.
And that remains true no matter how much the RT (Racism Trivializer) crowd tries to pretend otherwise.
Moreover, if they manage to succeed in dumping Biden on the basis of his “racism”, who do they think they’ll wind up with?
If they’re hoping for a candidate of color – which I have no doubt they are – that’s rapidly becoming a near impossibility. Their best shot, Kamala Harris, is sinking faster than a concrete-weighted mob hit in the East River. And she’s still got more of a shot than Booker and Castro combined.
So who will it actually be?
Elizabeth Warren, who built her entire career on lying about being a minority?
“Mayor Pete” Buttigieg – the guy who fired his Black Police Commissioner and bungled the optics of a White cop shooting/killing a Black suspect this year?
Bug-eyed, bombastic Bernie?
Are any of them better for you than Biden, Jamil? Anand? Joy? The rest of the RT bunch?
What irony that the one person in America most likely to be enjoying this excrement-show is the guy they want to get rid of. Donald Trump.
I’ll bet he wishes they were all competitors on The Apprentice, just for the fun of telling them “You’re fired!!”
