Yeah, and it’s really interesting how they are taking us back to segregation under the guise of social justice. They are completely undermining the work of past social change agents such as King, Rosa Parks etc.

Yes, indeed. I just heard on the news this morning that some progressive teacher set up two Zoom sessions for his students - one for blacks and one for whites.

Perhaps we use woke logic and let Joe be the first to personally pony up reparations.
Or we could just use logical logic and let bygones be bygones. The more we obsess over racism, the longer the worst of it drags on. It's never going to go completely away unless human nature itself is eradicated.

He said he came from working class roots. He certainly didn't reveal that he came from rich slaveowners.

Lies. Name one Republican who was demonized and/or fired because their ancestors held slaves.

SO WHAT??!!

I have zero respect for Biden, but I really do not think it is fair to be prejudiced or hate someone because of who their ancestors were.

It was his great-great-great grandfather. A person has 16 great-great-great grandfathers. It also didn't say the guy was rich. Not that it would matter.

Who cares what his ancestors did? I'm far more interested in his own racism.

Only if they're dishonest about it. Did Biden ever say "I am descended from wealthy slaveowners, and my family had advantages that the majority of Americans alive today did not."? No. He said, "I come from the modest working class."

I feel he was dishonest, but truly.....it's not the worst of his problems, so I agree with you there. The bigger problem is that we have a demented president who lies and makes decisions that harm America and Americans.

That's about right considering Biden the Segregationist was a life long friend of Robert "kkk" Byrd
