Biden Hire's Racist Who Teaches Blacks are "Superior" to Whites

Thief

now if someone of great ability was to hold a pivotal position
THAT could also be a problem

trying to move the masses to a common greater good........

THAT has been known to get the motivator ......crucified

I can kick back enjoy myself.
I do that
the body needs rest

but have you noted the overall condition of your peers?

most of them around me are grossly overweight
they limp
they can't reach the floor without struggle
and they have no interest in getting the job done

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
You just posted that whites are superior, how is that any different?

Guys, there's no such thing as racial superiority... Human differences pave the way for special talents and greater variation in an array of different directions.

There's no use in speaking of "better" when identifying human differences IMO.

I see it as a Great Game, must have been a real Puppet Master who invented this ... maybe even God inspired

The 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.
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 wisdom

Juvenal falls in the category "Satire" though ... keep people poor and busy, so they swallow what you give them to "eat", makes sense to me

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 :(


Harris is probably behind it all.

According to the wikipedia page, that's indeed correct and a huge pile of racialist pseudo-science.

The whole letter/context if you are interested:

Blacks Seek An End to Abuse
To The Editors

October 28, 1994
In response to those who defend The Bell Curve ("Defending The Bell Curve," Opinion, Oct. 24, 1994), please use the following theories and observations to assist you in your search for truth regarding the genetic differences between Blacks and whites.

One: Dr. Richard King reveals that at the core of the human brain is the "locus coeruleus" which is a structure that is Black because it contains large amounts of (neuro) melanin which is essential for its operation.

Two: Black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than whites.

Three: Carol Barnes notes that human mental processes are controlled by melanin--that same chemical which gives Blacks their superior physical and mental abilities.

Four: Some scientists have revealed that most whites are unable to produce melanin because their pineal glands are often calcification or non-functioning. Pineal calcification rates with Africans are five to 15 percent, Asians 15 to 25 percent and Europeans 60 to 80 percent. This is the chemical basis for the cultural differences between Blacks and whites.

Five: Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities--something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards.

We can readily admit that an abused child is less likely to achieve academically than a child that has grown up in a supportive atmosphere. Black children, whether rich or poor, grow up with an added abuse which white children never have to face. Imagine the message that misguided information like The Bell Curve would send to a Black child who is trying to find her place in school. It's degrading, belittling and outrageously false.

Attacks on Black people such as those in The Bell Curve are not unique. Black children face this abuse daily through television shows, jokes aired on the radio, textbooks with truncated history, etc. Liberal whites underestimate the damage which racism causes on the minds of Black children, and conservative whites know all too well how to enlarge that damage. No matter how rich or supportive a Black person's home might be, by the time she is ready to take the SAT or apply to college, she has struggled far more extensively than any white person of the same social and economic background.

In addition, it is completely naive to say that Blacks have achieved economic equality with whites. It seems that whites have grown tired of hearing about racism. So, some have turned to measures such as The Bell Curve to relieve themselves of blame.

It's just ridiculous. Black people are not asking for political correctness, but truthfulness, fairness and an end to this abuse. Kristen Clarke '97 Victoria Kennedy '97

Clarke is president of the Black Students Association.

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?

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.

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.

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?

I don't care about people who are swayed by this kind of nonsense. I care about somebody's actual track record in delivering effective and fair policies. In this case, her years of service in civil rights law are worth infinitely more than an anonymous letter she wrote while at University (which was clearly in response to the similar, white-supremacist jargon found in the Bell Curve, rather than an explicit endorsement of black supremacy). Do not scrap a perfectly good candidate for a position for the sake of optics.

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.

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"

I'll wager that she & Biden are carefully considering this,
& crafting a response. If it's acceptable, believable, &
comports with her subsequent speech & action, then
she could be a good candidate. The clock is ticking.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say....^^ This ^^. :(

The incredible hypocrisy and flailing about with false equivalency that the RW media WILL DO over things like this, will undercut all the attempts that a centrist like Biden will undoubtedly attempt in the months ahead.
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. :mad::(:mad::(

The Dems "squealed" at everything Trump did.
The Pubs will leap at returning the favor.
Perhaps when things calm down some day,
they'll talk with each other instead.

The 1st impeachment was a mistaken "squeal".
The Dems didn't have a case, hence their failure.
This reinforced the MAGAs impression of a witch
hunt, with both sides increasing hostilities.
IMO, this was a factor leading to more polarization
& the 2020-2021 violence. It also weakened the
current impeachment attempt by inspiring MAGA
belief in the witch hunt...that impeachment is
disingenuous pure politics.

Donald Trump got away with defending and bankrolling the racist birther conspiracy theories, admitting to sexual assaults, 23 accusations of sexual assaults and rapes, including that of a minor, and that's not counting the number of GOP member (and also a fair number of Democrats) who supported racialist non-sense like the Bell Curve or the books on "superpredators". Joe Biden himself was one of those. So to your question, would a white person benefit from some forgiveness toward past racism (or sexism while we are at it), the answer is a giant yes.
