Dem. Front runner Joe Biden: the two-party system was “good for the Negro”

From the now likely candidate of the party of slavery. How fitting.

Just as Biden Soars Past Other 2020 Candidates, Unearthed ‘Negro’ Speech Threatens To Shut Him Down

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden has accumulated a lead in the 2020 Democrat polls sufficient enough to officially qualify for frontrunner status. This is pretty impressive when you consider the amount of baggage he had to drag along in order to get himself there.

There were the repeated accusations that he inappropriately touched females.

There were the gaffes he made during his previous campaigns, including plagiarism and the infamous remark about how “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

Well, you can add one more remark from the 1970s to the pile of baggage, and this one might be heavy enough to stop that Joe-mentum dead in its tracks.

In a recently released book by Ryan Grim — a contributor to both The Young Turks and The Intercept — it was revealed that Biden gave a 1973 speech in Cleveland in which he talked about how the two-party system was “good for the Negro.”

The title of Grim’s book, “We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement,” is pretty self-explanatory if you’re wondering what you can expect in terms of content. However, what it’ll be remembered for is probably one very problematic passage for the current Democrat frontrunner found on page 33.

“In 1973, during a speech at the City Club in Cleveland, Biden told an audience that the Nixon-era resurgence of Republicans in the South was a good thing,” Grim writes. “‘I think the two-party system,’ he said, ‘although my Democratic colleagues won’t like me saying this, is good for the South and good for the Negro, good for the black in the South.’”

“Don’t @ me with ‘out of context,’ cuz I’ve got 401 pages of context here,” Grim said in a Thursday tweet, linking to the homepage for the book and highlighting Biden’s comment.

You can listen to the audio of the speech here.

This is a problem for the obvious reasons: Telling the “negro” what was good for them doesn’t play well now, but it didn’t play particularly well then, either. Even in 1973, this probably compelled more than a few eyebrows at the City Club to involuntarily raise.

There are also less obvious reasons this is double-plus-ungood for Biden. It’s become an unchallenged part of Democrat lore that the reason the South turned Republican was that Richard Nixon was a cynical racist whose “Southern strategy” managed to flip those states below the Mason-Dixon and put them into the GOP column.

Forget whether or not this is actually true (spoiler alert: no). I’m not sure what else is in that “401 pages of context” Grim has for us, but from just that quote, you could realistically extrapolate that Biden is speaking in favor of the Southern strategy, arguing that it’s “good for the Negro, good for the black in the South.”

While you might not make that argument, there are currently 23 other Democrats not named Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race. The closest one to Biden in a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey, released Friday by The Hill, is 19 points behind him. Do you think that perhaps a few of these Democrats, watching the former vice president’s lead expand and their chances shrink, might be inclined to make this an issue?

There were certainly plenty of conservatives on Twitter who were willing to make it an issue:

And by the way, as you might have sussed out from Charlie Spiering’s quote above, this is not the first time that Biden has said something particularly cretinous regarding race.

When he first arrived in the Senate back in the 1970s, Biden was a vehement opponent of racial busing to achieve school desegregation. This, in and of itself, wasn’t an unusual or incriminatory thing. His quotes regarding why he was opposed to busing, however, don’t exactly play well in 2019.

“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race,’” Biden said in 1975. “I don’t buy that.”

Also Biden, from the same interview: “I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”

After those quotes were unearthed by The Washington Post, letters revealed he had worked closely with Mississippi Democrat Sen. James Eastland — a notorious segregationist who referred to blacks as “an inferior race” — on the busing issue.

Biden’s hard-line stance on criminal justice back in the 1990s has presented yet another issue for him on the race front.

Then there was the fact that he was apparently considering putting a fig-leaf over all of this by the pathetic sop-throw of offering the running mate spot to Stacey Abrams — the African-American loser in last year’s Georgia gubernatorial election and cause célèbre among Democrats — before he had even entered the race. (To her credit, Abrams very publicly declined.)

And then there were his comments during the 2008 election cycle. Asked about his chances against a Southern Democrat during a 2007 appearance on Fox News, Biden said, “You don’t know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth-largest black population in the country.”

Because apparently being from a slave state confers an advantage upon a candidate in the South, according to Biden.

And then there was his assessment of Barack Obama before he was Obama’s running mate: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

Oh dear.

The scab somehow seemed to have formed over all of those scrapes. Now, Ryan Grim has ripped it off. We’ll see how much support he ends up bleeding for stupidly deigning to ever give his advice regarding what was “good for the Negro, good for the black in the South.”

I can say one thing with certainty, though: Biden just got a whole lot more baggage to drag, especially if he wants to be the nominee of a party that wants to paint President Trump and the Republicans as racists.

That is one bizarre pic of Biden. What is he doing conducting a bra inspection? Or a breast exam? And what kind of half-wit would do that publicly in front of an audience? He might as well give up now, there’s no way he’s living this down.

Identity politics rules the Demoncrapper party. They look down on all minorities and want them enslaved to the government. Democrats really don’t believe minorities are capable of being productive citizens without a government check.

Hey! Sen Joe Biden is doing an “INDEPTH INVESTIGATION OF WOMENS RIGHTS & IS ON THE FRONT LINE OF WOMENS ISSUES here! Sen Biden was once more conservative then he is now WHICH PROVES HOW FAR WE HAVE SLID AS A POLITICAL CULTURE IN THIS NATION! Among the Dems, he is the most qualified but when do qualifications mean anything to the Dems who allowed neophyte deluxe, Barack Hussein Obama to cheat & beat more qualified Sen Hillary Clinton in 2008? 2020 is a winnable proposition, folks & we must beat the Dems by all means but then again the Dim-ocRATS will probably beat up their own best candidates for us & help us out! Let’s pray the Dims help Trump stay!

Agreed, 4 or 5 parties would be better like Europe. While they have their problems, the good thing is that the population can vote for particular parties that cater to their wishes. The radical Left was dominant for many years and nobody cared because there were no Muslim or migration problem.

However once that started, people began shifting to the Right and now people like Salvini are in power. He wouldn’t have a chance in a 2 party system. The UK is basically has that now, dominated by Conservatives and Labour both of them don’t give a damn about ordinary people, which is why it is being taken over by Islam.

They are trying to break up that duopoly, hopefully they’ll succeed.

A clear message was broadcast to JP to surrender ten days before the bombs were dropped. The official reply of 79 year-old PM Suzuki mokusatsu reply was evasive and non-responsive. The military of JP was determined to fight to the last bamboo spear and it was estimated 267,000 US soldiers, Marines and Navy personnel would die invading JP:

I knew some WW2 combat veterans who fought against the Nazis they were not looking forward to invading JP after that.

I worked for a man who had been a Marine during the Pacific campaign. At the time, he did not expect to survive the invasion of Kyushu. He was convinced that those two A-Bombs saved his life.

After Tarawa, Guadalcanal (Don Adams was wounded there), Saipan, Okinawa (a divisional US Army commander and his staff were killed) and Iwo Jima I can see why.

Agree. I had several uncles not looking forward to Olympic. They met in Hiroshima after the bombing.

Understand the Potsdam Declaration, and the diplomacy of ignorance Japan pursued. My thoughts, not widely agreed to, is that all America would have to do to Japan was blockade the home islands into submission. Admiral Nimitz’s grand strategy for the Pacific War was to render Japan defenseless by sinking the Navy and merchant marine. A nation surrounded by water cannot survive long when its access to trade involves marine shipping (and Navy) that have been reduced to impotence.

JP was already under a blockade. Their merchant fleet had ceased to exist and the IJN didn’t even have enough fuel oil for a last suicidal sortie against the USN. The people of JP were on subsistence rations already. If the US had chosen to fire bomb rice paddies it could’ve caused mass starvation. Even after the second atomic bomb was dropped there were still members of the Japanese military who wanted to fight on. One of their famous admirals (Nagumo I believe) ordered an air strike against US forces and he climbed aboard one of the aircraft for the final flight.
There was an attempt at a military coup to prevent Hirohito’s surrender declaration being read out.

Mark Steiner

All true.
Vice Admiral Nagumo is an interesting study. One account I read provided information that he and General Saito, commander of the Japanese ground forces on Saipan, committed suicide some time after the island was invaded in June 1944. However, a “gyokusai (suicide raid)” was launched against American forces after the commanders’ suicides, for a time overwhelming the American ground forces with close-quarter fighting,

Nagumo, like most senior commanders of the IJN, was fairly conservative. On December 7, 1941, some have criticized him for not launching a second raid on crippled Pearl Harbor to finish the job. Nagumo, from intelligence collected on ships present at Pearl Harbor, knew that Task Force 16 (built around USS Enterprise and Lexington) was at sea somewhere, commanded by Vice Adm. William Halsey. Had Nagumo chosen to attack this carrier task force on the 7th and succeeded, the blow delivered would have been a great setback for the US Navy in the Pacific worse than the raid we know about. But if he knew Halsey was in command of TF 16, it was enough for him not to lay down a challenge. After recovering his aircraft from the Pearl Harbor attack. he headed northwest away from Hawaii as fast as he could.

I’d think USS Enterprise, USS Lexington and their task force combined wouldn’t have had a prayer against Nagumo’s fleet out on the high seas. Nagumo had six fleet carriers (some 360 planes), two battleships, two heavy cruisers, 9 destroyers. If Halsey had wanted a fight I’m sure he could’ve just broadcast that fact to Nagumo and he would’ve slowed down to let Halsey catch up.

You may be right about Nagumo against TF 16. Halsey was aggressive but in war conditions largely untried by 12/7/41. Interesting though that Capt. Fuchida, commander of the combined air fleet of the First Carrier Striking Force that took off for Pearl Harbor, upon arrival overhead pointed out the ships present, also noted those which were not: “Lexington left harbor yesterday. Enterprise also believed to be operating at sea … ”

One may ask: how did the US Navy know to get USS Lexington out of Pearl a day before the attack? Coincidence? Good luck, intelligence or guessing? Or, something more?

Interesting today 77 years ago, the First Carrier Striking Force (without Shokaku and Zuikaku) had lost carriers Kaga and Soryu, and suffered severe damage to Akagi and Hiryu in the first full day of combat at the Battle of Midway. The latter two were torpedoed by Japanese destroyers and were gone by 8:00 am the 5th.

Notice some recurring items:

1. The commiecrats boast about the “diversity” of their stable of 2020 presidential hopefuls but the ones who poll the highest are two old white guys.

2. Biden’s lecherous approach to women is the same as we saw when Obhammud hosted Mr. and Mrs. Berghdal in the Rose Garden and couldn’t keep his paws off her.
