Biden: “I’ve not a racist bone in my body.

Whether true or not, they all say that, so what the historical victim of racism to think of that response


But in his remarks — delivered on the eve of Juneteenth, the day that marks the bitter end of slavery in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation — Biden voiced fondness for one colleague in particular, James Eastland, a Mississippi senator with a despicable legacy of racial hatred and incitement who was also a mentor to Biden in his early days in Washington. “I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,” Biden told the assembled donors. “He never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son.’”


That's the problem with your remarks Ole Joe. He didn't and never had reason to call you "boy"; he was civil to you and called you "son", while uncivil in all those policies and ideas he helped to promulgate to hurt those he would refer to as "boy".

Let this be a teaching moment for you, Ole Joe, courtesy of Cory Booker.

Yeah, Biden's coming across as totally tone-deaf. Man's already stumbling around and they haven't even had the first debate yet.

Don't get me wrong. I am really not into the 30 democrats running for president. I am more worried about the sycophant incumbent. I really don't care who they offer up as the sacrificial lamb being led to the slaughter by Nancy Pelosi.

Biden is using his front runner status to play it safe and not engage the other candidates.

Let's see how long it will last? lol

I wouldn't either. Cuz in the long run you still going to need each other to win an election against someone who for now on the sideline only looking at how he can attack the eventual winner.

So you want everyone to get along and hand the nomination to Joe?

Nothing is going to change (his advantage) unless they oppose him.

Tell that to Nancy Pelosi, who think she can win on public sentiment alone. If the democrats don't impeach they can just forget it.
