A Review of Joe Biden's Hideous Racial Comment Past

 We have spent a lot of posts lately handicapping the race to bankruptcy court relative to financially troubled cities and states. We will take a break from that theme for a little while and touch on some other topics of political class insanity.


Today we will look back  on the insanity of Joe Biden’s political career, specifically, the many, many racist comments he made over the past decades. It  is amazing that someone with such a despicable history of racist statements became  President of the United States. It is one thing to oversee government programs that are corrupted with fraud, inefficiencies, and failures. But the racist past of Biden’s  comments should never be allowed to sit in the White House.


The problem regarding this topic is how much research we thought would have to  be done to document all  of the racist comments of Biden. Fortunately, we recently came across an article on the Wisconsin Right Now website by Jessica McBride that did the research for us. So, before any Democrat or liberal  calls someone a racist, remind them who they voted for back  in 2020:


1)Biden called Obama the first "mainstream African-American who is articulate and clean”: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, 

I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”


2)Senator James Eastland is generally recognized to have been a racist serving in the Senate who allegedly once referred to African Americans as an “inferior race” and that desegregation would lead to “mongrelization”. But Biden had a pretty kind recollection of Eastland:  “I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland.  He never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son.’” 


3)More recently Biden insulted black Americans during his Presidential campaign, basically calling African Americans stupid if they did not vote for him: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”


4)But it was not just black Americans who Biden racially insulted” “You cannot go into a Dunkin’ Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent.”


5)He once asked a black  journalist if the journalist was a junkie after the journalist asked Biden if he had taken a cognitive test, a perfectly innocent question: “Come on, man! That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” 


6)He insulted the entire African American community when he compared them to the country’s  Latino community: “Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”  In other words, all  black Americans are alike, all Latino Americans are unique and diverse.


7)One of the  most insulting things that can be  said to a black  man  is to  call him “boy.” Society has recognized the derogatory context  of this slur for years.  Which did not  stop Biden from doing it twice in recent years. After presenting actor and rap singing star, LL Cool J. with the Phoenix Award, Biden went ahead and referred to him as “boy:”  “Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America, LL Jay Cool J, uhhh … By the way, that boy’s got— that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs.”


8)He continued with the “boy” insult when  referring to the black governor of Maryland, Wes Moore:  “You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore, I tell ya. He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He’s got some guns on him.” Black  Senator, Corey Booker, summed the insults nicely: “You don’t joke about calling black men boys.”


9)But it is  not just black Americans that Biden insulted by calling them “boys.” Several years ago, Japanese pro golfer Hideki Matsuyama won the prestigious Masters golf tournament. In a press conference standing  next to the Japanese Prime Minister, Biden invoked the racist “boy” term against an Asian: “You’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here and winning the Masters. He won the green jacket. … the first Japanese player to take home that green jacket.”


10)To add to the above racist slurs and insults, let’s review some research that former South Carolina governor and Presidential candidate, Nikki Haley, did regarding Biden’s very long  racist comment history:


  • From 1971 to 1974, Biden’s legal residence had a deed barring ownership by African Americans.

  • In 1974, Biden made an analogy of himself as a 29 year old in the Senate to being a “token black.

  • In 1975, Biden asked if “the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?”

  • In 1977, Biden said that busing would cause his children to grow up in “a racial jungle.”

  • In 1977, Biden voted against Black Justice Department nominees specifically over his opposition to busing.

  • In 1977, Biden said he asked to join the Senate Judiciary Committee specifically to lead the charge against busing.

  • In 1979, Biden voted to allow racially segregated private schools to keep their tax exempt status.

  • In 1981, Biden said George Wallace was “right about some things.”

  • In 1984, Biden used the word “boy” to refer to Jesse Jackson.

  • In 1985, Biden made a favorable comparison between segregationist Senator John Stennis and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.

  • In 1987, Biden “sought to appeal to white voters” by touting an award he received from George Wallace in 1973 where he praised Biden as “one of the outstanding young politicians in America.”

  • During his 1988 campaign, Biden falsely claimed he was part of the civil rights movement, saying he “marched” in his “youth.”

  • In his 2007 book, Promises To Keep, Biden admitted that, as a young person, he had “no real relationships with Black people.”

  • In 2010, Biden delivered a 22-minute eulogy, the longest speech, at Senator Robert Byrd’s (D-WV) memorial service, calling the former KKK member a “friend,” “mentor,” and “guide.”

  • In 2016, Biden praised segregationist Senator John Stennis as a “friend” and an “honorable” man.

  • In 2019, Biden recalled the era when “he was able to get along with segregationist senators.”

  • In 2019, Biden said the Obama administration went “into the hood” of Detroit to recruit minorities.

  • In 2019, Biden claimed a major problem Black communities face is illiteracy, saying Black “parents can’t read or write themselves,” leaving Black attendees “shocked and frustrated.”

  • In 2019, Biden said that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

  • In 2020, Biden suggested some people were able to quarantine during Covid because “some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.”

  • During a 1985 hearing, Biden repeated the words of another person, insensitive to the negative and horrible connotations of the word: “We already have a n—– mayor, we don’t need any more n—– big shots.”


Unbelievable that a man with this kind of racist comment  history actually became President.  It shows  how corrupt our political class has become along with how corrupt the  political processes have become. In addition, it  is an  indictment of the corporate news industry on how most of this was not reported by the liberal press in order to  protect their political favorites.

The Obama Era, Part 7 - Memories From The Worst Presidency Ever?

Late last year I thought it might be a good time to review everything that I remember about the Obama administration. He has been in office for seven years, seven long years that in my opinion have been horrific in so many ways. This was someone who entered office with approval ratings that were above 70% and who represented the so-called “hope and change” that many Americans were seeking.

This theme unexpectedly took four days to cover, that is how many failures, lies, threats, and narcissism examples we could list out from this President. The first post can be accessed at:

http://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-obama-era-part-1-memories-from.html

Seven years later, hope has become very scarce and change has almost always been for the worst. Now, before someone says that I am just a sour grapes Republican, conservative, or neo-con, understand that I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life (I started voting in the 1970s). Up until 2010, I had never voted for Republican for national office in my life. I fully support gay rights and respect a woman’s legal right to an abortion. Thus, none of what you are about to read over the next few days comes from a Republican sour grapes perspective.

But unless you have had completely had your head in the sand or elsewhere, this has been the worst Presidency that I have experienced in my lifetime. From horrid legislation (e.g. Obama Care) to a failed foreign policy (e.g. Syria) to daily lawlessness on the part of this administration (e.g. use of unsecured email accounts by high ranking administration members), the ineptness and ineffectiveness of this administration is mind boggling.

Today, we will discuss more things that I remember from this Presidency, including the latest Pew Research results, in addition to the horror stories and disasters we already talked about, starting with the link listed above:

- I will remember that the American public rate “gun policy” and “climate change” as the 16th and 17th (out of 18 issues) most important issues in their lives while this President seems to focus only on these two issues most of the time, a bad misalignment with what Americans want him to do.

- I will remember that this President worked hard on a trans pacific trade agreement even though Americans rated that the least important (18th) issue in their lives.

- I will remember that Americans rated the “economy” as the most important issue in their lives even though this Presidential administration has been doing a horrible job at developing and implementing effective economic policy, given that 45 million Americans still receiving monthly Federal food assistance, 14 million Americans who are still unemployed or underemployed, national annual economic growth has never come close to attaining the long term annual average, and household income and wages have been completely stagnant during the life of this Presidency.

- I will remember that dealing with immigration has steadily jumped up over time to become the 11th most important issue to Americans, indicating that they are not happy with Obama’s immigration performance.

- I will remember that as Obama has weakened our military and meddled in military decisions that only experienced military veterans should deal with, Americans desire to “strengthen our military” has grown 8%.

- I will remember how the number of Americans view “protecting the environment” as a top issue has dropped 5% during the Obama Presidency despite the President’s obsession with the potential myth of manmade climate change.

- I will remember how this President promised “hope and change” but 51% of Americans now think that his failures will now outweigh his accomplishments with only 39% thinking his accomplishments will outweigh his failures.

- I will remember how independent voters have a massive 16 point difference between those thinking that his failures will outweigh his accomplishments.

Thus, the Pew results show that America also has a lot of bad memories of this Presidency, that I am not an outlier in my memories of how bad the shortcomings have been of this Presidency.

P.S. One last set of memories, based on the fact that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recently passed away and the President of the United States did not attend the funeral. The funeral was held Washington DC, not an inconvenience for the President. It was held on a weekend, traditionally not a work day for anyone in Washington. Previous Presidents have attended funerals of Supreme Court justices so there is a precedent. It is not in the heat of an election season.


Thus, I will remember how this President refused to attend the funeral of a very important person in this country but did attend, and speak at, the funeral of others whose importance and contributions to the country was far less important:

  • Less than two months before the 2012 Presidential election, Obama took time out of his schedule to attend and speak at the the funeral service of Democratic Senator Daniel Inouye, which much like the Scalia funeral, is being held in D.C.
  • The President attended and spoke at the funeral of Democrat and former Ku Klux Klan member Senator Robert Byrd.
  • The President attended and spoke at the funeral of Reverend Clementa Pinckney who was one of the nine people killed in a mass shooting in South Carolina in 2015 even though he had never met the reverend.
  • Just six months after skipping the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and in doing so insulted our British allies, Obama attended and spoke at the funeral of former Democratic Speaker of the House Tom Foley. 
  • Obama traveled to New York for the memorial service of Walter Cronkite, where he spoke, although he had never met Cronkite. 
  • Obama traveled to South Africa to attend the funeral of non-American Nelson Mandela.
But this President cannot travel across town to the funeral of a Supreme Court justice. And this is so typical of what I will remember of this Presidency: if any event, including an important funeral of an important American, did not support an Obama political situation or feed his ego, he reverts back to being the community organizer that he has always been, whether in Chicago or in Washington.
