I do thatI can kick back enjoy myself.
You just posted that whites are superior, how is that any different?I do think it inappropriate to move someone into office
with such a preset in mind
'I am black......and therefore superior'
it won't help
I see it as a Great Game, must have been a real Puppet Master who invented this ... maybe even God inspired
That is your way of seeing it. I know that all people have wisdom inside, and I agree that most are too busy to get in touch with their wisdomThe person who coined the expression was Roman poet named Juvenal and he used it to criticise the wisdom of the people when it came to politics as the were too preoccupied by their immediate condition to make wise policy decision.
Please watch the video. The video is 4 minutes long. Many democrats think rasism against white persons is good!
Biden hires a black woman who thinks black are superior to whites. In the video also a black man sounds like black hitler. He is very very rasist against white persons.
This is scary

Clarke Should Retract Statements | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson
She & Biden have some splain'n to do.
I can hear her apologists now....
"But that was so long ago...ancient history.
She might've moderated her beliefs now."
According to the wikipedia page, that's indeed correct and a huge pile of racialist pseudo-science.
If she apologise and reject the content of that letter, would you forgive her and be confident if she were to occupy her post or would you require more?
first item up when searching.........
The average or normal IQ score for a white person is 100 while the average IQ score for a Black person is 85. With a score below 75 classifying a person as mentally retarded, it would seem that the average Black person is a lot closer to being retarded than being normal.
OPINION: Are White People Smarter than Black People ...

What is your point?
The point is that despicable racism is alive and well in the world today, case in point.
So, because of something written by somebody 27 years ago - and ignoring literally everything they have done since then as a practicing and leading civil rights lawyer - we should completely discount them from this kind of office?While in general people should be allowed to move on from childish opinions they have long since rejected, having someone on the record as promoting abject scientific racialism appointed to a public civil rights role is problematic in such a position. A public, political position is different to a private one and I doubt it would be too controversial to note that a white person who had promoted racialist supremacism may not be a good appointee to represent diverse citizens.
Legitimising scientific racialism legitimises it in all forms, which is not a good thing. It's not difficult to find a good civil rights lawyer who has not promoted racial supremacism based on pseudo-science to be appointed to a public role.
What she says is not simply relevant to "black v white", but also applies to "black v non-black minority". Her job is to represent all communities.
Just as many black people would feel mistrustful of a person who argued for the genetic inferiority of black people representing their civil rights, other communities might well feel likewise regarding someone who has argued for their genetic inferiority. The double standards are not a good look.
Given the plethora of other options, the downside no doubt outweighs the positives.

Do not scrap a perfectly good candidate for a position for the sake of optics.
I'll wager that she & Biden are carefully considering this,Would a white person get the same benefit of the doubt? Asian?
If the republicans had promoted a white person who had written something similar, the same people championing KC would be screaming about how it is a national disgrace that proves America is a fundamentally racist country.
Perfectly good other than the racialism...
When the 'optics' are that you look like a massive hypocrite thus damage an important cause, just appoint one of the thousand other equally qualified and capable people who are perfectly good candidates rather than "perfectly good excusing the racialism"
It is with a heavy heart that I have to say....^^ This ^^.This was one Hell of a blunder on Biden's part.
It's perfectly possible that Kristen Clarke is utterly embarrassed by the paper she wrote and that everything she's done since then is squeaky clean. However, Biden has an uphill struggle ahead of him and you can be sure that every single person he associates with will be examined in forensic detail. To appoint somebody with that particular skeleton in their closet at this time was a terrible move.
The most fanatical section of Trump's supporters have demonstrated themselves to be just as dangerous as many of us on the left had feared. This is certain to further cement in their minds that the Democrats are anti-white and that the attempt to overthrow the government was justified. It's also juicy ammunition for right-wing media outlets who'll be looking for every opportunity to undermine Biden's presidency.
Maybe Clarke's work over the years outweighs the letter she wrote in the 90's. I also understand the bitter irony of overtly racist groups suddenly taking the position that racism is bad. I fully appreciate that the faults Biden and the people near him possess pale in comparison to those of Trump. It's frustrating but that's the reality of the position Biden now finds himself in. The deck is stacked against him in so many ways and he's just made things even harder for himself.
I honestly don't know what the best course of action is here. It's going to be a matter of damage control now.
The Dems "squealed" at everything Trump did.Once again, the Democrats are left holding the shattered debris of our fragile Republic, torn apart by divisionist Republican leaders, who are all now scurrying away to the shadowed corners of “News” agencies, where the will squeal at anything and everything Biden and the Democrats do as the try to glue the pieces back together again.
Would a white person get the same benefit of the doubt?
