Just as Biden Soars Past Other 2020 Candidates, Unearthed ‘Negro’ Speech Threatens To Shut Him Down

......“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race,’” Biden said in 1975. “I don’t buy that.”

Also Biden, from the same interview: “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.”

After those quotes were unearthed by The Washington Post, letters revealed he had worked closely with Mississippi Democrat Sen. James Eastland — a notorious segregationist who referred to blacks as “an inferior race” — on the busing issue.

Biden’s hard-line stance on criminal justice back in the 1990s has presented yet another issue for him on the race front.


Then there was the fact that he was apparently considering putting a fig-leaf over all of this by the pathetic sop-throw of offering the running mate spot to Stacey Abrams — the African-American loser in last year’s Georgia gubernatorial election and cause célèbre among Democrats — before he had even entered the race. (To her credit, Abrams very publicly declined.)

And then there were his comments during the 2008 election cycle. Asked about his chances against a Southern Democrat during a 2007 appearance on Fox News, Biden said, “You don’t know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth-largest black population in the country.”

Because apparently being from a slave state confers an advantage upon a candidate in the South, according to Biden.

And then there was his assessment of Barack Obama before he was Obama’s running mate: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”.....https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/j...idates-unearthed-negro-speech-threatens-shut/ Biden it Dems has more explaining to do. He seems to have had racial biases is whole career. This nearest exposed comment in the heat of the busing battles early in his career may sink his campaign.

 

Between women fondling, plagiarism, and biased racial comments throughout his career, his Presidential ambition should be ended.

 

Didn't hurt Trump.

I wouldn't vote for Biden, but haven't you heard - what happened in the past doesn't count anymore - or so we have been told by Trump supporters.

 

Biden is simply a racist

 

Ah, but it's more insulting to Democrat, remember The left is the party of anti racisism, groping and the right is simply racist and grope every chance we get. Surely you have been reading the forum and watching the news

 

Trump has no plagiarism issues. He only talked of groping women, not actually being creepy like Biden was. Trump has nowhere near the comment history Biden does on racial matters.

 

Naw, we want Biden to run.

Actually Trump should do fine against any of them so it's more of a preference of which democrat we want to see embarrassed the most by losing to him.

Warren is definitely up there but Biden for sure.

I really want to see the DNC throw their support behind a kiddy diddler.

 

Between these comments, previously known comments/positions, and his creepiness towards girls and women, he shouldn't even be an option for Democrats.

Identity politics seem to be of utmost importance to progressives. Here we have a guy with two strikes; against minorities and women.

Considering the support for Biden, one could assume that identity politics is more of a tool for progressives, as opposed to a completely legitimate concern.

There's no way in hell they'd give Joe a pass if he were a Republican. Joe has a resume full of REEEE worthy material.
