Biden’s “pledge” to Fix Race-Relations is Stymied by His Record and the President’s Accomplishments

Presidents of Mount Rushmore National Monument, South Dakota, USA

Shortly after President Trump delivered a historic speech in front of Mount Rushmore on Friday night, presidential hopeful Joe Biden released an Independence Day video message of his own focusing, in part, on racial issues. In his message, Biden pledged to end systemic racism and blamed the president for the divisiveness within the United States. The trouble, of course, is that Biden’s “quest” and commitment to fix race relations is significantly tainted because of his record and the president’s many successes with regard to black Americans. In essence, Biden’s “quest” to “fix” race relations only seems to apply when he is not engaged in the very wrong that he allegedly wants to correct.

According to Biden, his election in November would give the country the opportunity to “rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country.” Moreover, in a separate opinion piece published by NBC News, Biden blamed Trump for the division in the country. In essence, Biden is asking the American people to believe that he is their savior, the “messiah” who will unite the nation and bring all people together in peace, love, and harmony.

While Biden wants the American public to buy into his “pledge” to end/reduce racism throughout the country, he is, once again, haunted by his record. For example, according to Business Insider, citing a NY Times story, in 1977, Biden made very controversial remarks relating to busing and racial issues and was one of the Senate’s most vocal opponents to court-ordered busing. At a congressional hearing about anti-busing legislation, Biden stated:

Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”

According to Business Insider, Biden was concerned that court-ordered busing would lead to a “race war” and cause resentment among black and white statements:

“You take people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education and opportunity, and you stunt their children’s intellectual growth by busing them to an inferior school, and you’re going to fill them with hatred,” he said of a busing plan that would bus white students from the suburbs to urban schools.

He extended his concerns to a hypothetical black student from Wilmington too, wondering, “you send him to Alexis I. DuPont, bus him through Centerville every day, then send him back to the ghetto. How can he be encouraged to love his white brothers?”

Is this what Biden means by “fixing” race-relations?

Aside from these controversial and divisive comments, Biden’s record is marred by other such comments and/or examples. As reported by the Washington Examiner:

Biden told a largely black audience in Virginia during President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign that Republican candidate Mitt Romney was “going to put you all back in chains” should he win the election. And prior to Obama’s election to the White House, Biden called Obama the “first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

“I mean, that’s a storybook, man,” Biden said at the time.

In 2019, Biden told a group of his supporters that “poor kids” were just as clever and talented as “white kids.” Finally, during a recent interview, Biden, in essence, told black voters how they should behave. According to Fox News, Biden stated, “I tell you if you’ve got a problem figuring out if you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.” This comment immediately faced backlash, leading a Biden aide to abruptly try to end the interview.

These examples cast serious doubt about the notion that Biden intends to “rip the roots” out of systemic racism and/or fix race relations. To the contrary, they are all controversial and directly relate to race-relations and/or stereotypes that he associates with different races. Rather than serving to calm emotions, they inflame and incite anger and resentment. However, Biden is stuck because his record speaks for itself. He is like a deponent who testifies under oath and later tries to change his answers because they do not fit a particular narrative/story. Unfortunately for Biden, he cannot take back his comments.

Further adding to Biden’s troubling record and his “pledge” to end systemic racism and/or fix race relations is the fact that President Trump, for example, has dramatically helped black Americans. More particularly, according to Newsmax, Trump signed the First Step Act into law, where 91% of the total inmates released have been Black Americans! President Trump also provided funding for historically black colleges and universities, reduced unemployment levels for black men and women to their lowest levels in modern history (the coronavirus has obviously impacted these employment numbers), and reduced dependency on food stamps by black Americans by encouraging (and helping) them to work.

Last Friday, after the U.S. Navy Blue Angels dazzled the thousands of onlookers, President Trump addressed the nation in front of Mount Rushmore, denounced “far-left fascism,” and defended Judeo-Christian principles.

His opponent, on the other hand, merely sent a video in hopes of garnering support and erasing a record that will stick with him long after the November elections have come and gone.

dEmenTIa jOE is UNFIT !! for office – he is a puppet who will be replaced IF in office by his VP and Pelosi and her ILK!!
will take over.
Race relations will Never work – they cannot even relate to themselves without Violence and bloodshed.
Look at the way they treat themselves in Africa –
The Prisons here are 65% Black. 80% of violence is B-on-B.
Now the Rappers are killing each other or by whom. Where is BLM when they kill each other.
This country is in a sad state as never before – the Leaders of our states are continuing to get paid and do very little to
make things good and right for all – Hope for this country and world is lost – look around far and wide.
This country deserves another Sodom and Gomorrah. Wishing the Angels do now what they did then. maybe??
When Abortion is Stood Against then maybe I will care about the issues. Mistreat an animal oh no. Kill the innocent – so what. SAD!

Biden’s been on the government teat for his entire adult life and has accomplished NOTHING to help blacks (or anyone else). He has appointed AOC and Pocahontas to head his study committees, He tries to use the moniker “Lunchpail Joe.” He’s never carried a lunch pail or even known anyone who carried one. He’s an arrogant aristocrat selling his influence to enrich his family.

Yeah, this is what the Democrats have ALWAYS been! They pretend to sympathize with the Blacks, while behind closed doors they are calling them the N word and laughing at their gullibility. The Democrats are the most racist group of people in America, but they “Love” Black Americans when it’s time for voting!

Biden has been part of the problem over racism for the entire time he has been in politics. President Trump is remedying racism by actually treating all American citizens the same rather than enslaving some with government programs, laws and regulations.

For Pete’s sake, the MOST DIVISIVE administration in American history was Obummer/Sleepy Joe!!!
 
President Trump has done more to advance the socioeconomic status of blacks than any president in history, in only 3.5 years.
He will continue to do so, as soon as the terrorist groups BLM and Antifa are eliminated.

I encourage every voter to get out and vote for President Trump! The democrat communists will say anything to regain power! Just remember what democrat party really wants – the Green New Deal, socialized medicine, the elimination of law enforcement, legalizing millions of illegal citizens as voters – anything to overturn the will of the American people!

Everything that comes from the left which includes the media of course is not only untrue but it is usually the very thing that they themselves endorse. Nothing new here but as for systemic racism, it doesn’t exist, check our history oops, they are trying to erase that aren’t they:) And as for divisiveness which can be pronounced two ways, it is a basic tenant of the left’s agenda. They love to use it against President Trump but of course, all you have to do is look at the facts. That’s right Joe, the facts which just so happen to coincide with the truth:) That is one of my pet peeves, divisiveness caused by Trump. It’s like hearing someone run their fingernails across a chalkboard!

bho picked biden when he ran because biden was bendable. bho also could have seen that biden was in a decline and used that. BOTH bho & biden set race relations back at least 150 years promising blacks all this free stuff and end racism. All he did was put more in poverty than ever before. the ILLEGAL USED the blacks for votes and then tossed them aside just like every other democrap they have ever help to “elect”. The illegal also put more tension between blacks and the Police. Remember when the black professor locked himself out of his house and a neighbor called the police because she saw someone climbing through a window and instead of the professor looking at it like any NORMAL person, he made it a race thing which bho took up without even finding out what really went on and said…”the police acted stupidly”. The neighbor couldn’t see who it was breaking in, so she did the right thing and called the police. What is happening today is just a continuation of what bho started. Biden don’t even know where he is half the time and lord help us all if he picks kamala harris as vp if the dems can garner enough ILLEGAL VOTES to put biden in.
However, I truly don’t think that will happen. The AMERICAN people are smarter than that! They have eyes and no matter what they may HEAR, they will believe their eyes first. NO ONE who loves this Country can stand by and allow what has been happening to continue!

I don’t care. In the words of Colonel Potter. “It is all MULE COOKIES.” I am tired of everyone parsing statements. Who really cares about a 50 year useless veteran of the congress and a “do nothing accomplish nothing.” It is all about hate of POTUS. No one will read this. There is a revolution coming and we can win or we can can lose. 50/50. What side do you want to be on? Hope that yoju are all resting in your air conditioned abodes. Have a great day.

Yes, indeed, well-put … however it’s all about Ole Joe : as — he’s their Useful Idiot in their broader scheme(s.) All the radical leftists, no matter their names, find that Ole Joe will do anything for them, make and/all promises for them — and, as President — bust down our Great Nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation, Our culture and norms, and those of us who WILL resist — with gusto. All this has been brewing since the radical 60’s hippies started to really, politically, organize. While watching AFVN in DaNang long ago, and seeing the thousands of riots/protests/hippies/and well-placed foreign influences mixed in, I felt then that when they all get out of their colleges/universities that Our Country is in for Big Trouble… I’m indeed sorry I was “right” at that time. Hey, but wait a minute… when we all get enough, fed up, and ready … the larger mass of Our Nation will mobilize against the Marxist/Communist/Fascists mobs, and Take Back these United States of America ! Count me IN … God Bless The U.S.A.
 
“President Ole Joe 30330” a Useful Idiot.

The whole of the Democratic Machinery is so corrupt and especially Joe Biden. His character is extremely questionable, especially after his remarks regarding the nuns that just won their battle in the Supreme Court over the Abortion issue. For Biden to make such statements is beyond the pale. It seems to me that he’s sold his soul to the devil himself. To pit himself against Biblical Principles and against the very church he says he belongs to is definitely demonic. He’s choosing politics over basic Christian teaching and church dogma. Shame on you Joseph Biden. Going to confession without real repentance is damning. You cannot mock God and expect some priest to say your sins are forgiven. Only God has that privilege and from what I read in Scripture, we have to denounce our previous ways against God and turn 180 degrees and follow Jesus. You cannot serve your own interests and God’s interests at the same time. All too many politicians serve themselves rather than God and their constituents after they enter that cesspool called Congress or the Senate. There are some that are true to their God and their constituents. When I see Democrat Coombs and Republicans in the Oval Office praying alongside other leaders over the President, you know they’re not following the “crowd” but doing what is right and good. Setting partisan politics aside, they pray together agreeing on Heavens Purposes and setting aside their agenda. This is what real America needs to see.

I’m not saying there is no raicism in America, however, “systematic racism”, I don’t see it. There are many black Americans who are very successful. As Dr. Martin L.King said, “a man should be judged by his character, not the color of his skin”. and I’d like to add, nor by his political leanings. There are good people and bad people, usually the bad ones encounter the police and our legal system. The democrat party has leaned so far to the left, their platform is a combination of communism /socialism.That’s not for me, I love my freedom and willing to fight to keep it.

The left is so gullible, so ready to willfully disregard reality, if someone confronts Crazy Joe with any of those statements, his reply is likely to be something along the lines of “I must have had my brain turned off that day.” To which the lefties will say, “See? He just had his brain turned off that day, is all. How can that be a problem? You must be a racist.”

I think the Democrats are hoping that old Joe will not make it to the ball and get the nod from the party. The Party might look at his health and put another name in for the nomination for president, who would that be? Clinton is waiting so is some more women, they even might go with a female for President and VP. The Socialist Democrat Party of American is falling apart, the whole dirty bunch are coming down after November 2020.

If it were possible to bring America together President Trump would have done it by now. If it were possible to eliminate all racism in America President Trump would have done it by now. However, it is not possible to do either when one half of the nation is as hateful as these so called democrats are at this point. In case you did not realize it by now they are no longer just democrats at this point and even admit to being socialist democrats (a term used in 1930’s Germany) they are actually communist or marxist which are based on socialism. They will never come together with conservatives. It is not President Trump democrats hate it is the lack of power over everything in America at this time. They thought they would be in power forever after Barack Obama. They were wrong. They have not recovered from the shock of losing even yet and the loss was nearly four years ago.  
 
Nothing, absolutely nothing, Joe Biden does would or could bring America together. After all he had eight years with Obama to do that very thing and did/could not do it. The same can be said for his approach toward racism. Actually the United States of America is the most diverse and least racist nation on earth.  The United States of America is the only nation on earth to have ever fought a civil war to end slavery within its boundaries although nearly every nation on earth at one time or another has had slavery within it boundaries. Even the pyramids were built by slaves. Native Americans practiced slavery long before the white man set foot on these shores. They were mostly women captured by a different tribe.  
 
Right now the racist are on the far left and they are the ones accusing others of being racist. By the way that is normal procedure for democrats to accuse others of exactly what they are doing. However they see that as necessary, if they want to control the blacks and they think they must make them think they are victims at least until after November thirds vote. Then like in the past they will ignore them until the next election draws near. This has been going on for decades now. However, many blacks do not seem to mind so perhaps it is the promise and not the fulfillment of the promise that keeps bringing them back and voting democrat. It does look that way now!

The President isn’t dividing the nation, it’s the groups forming like antifa, and BLM whose agenda is violence and communism. Biden has been in politics for 50+ years and never did anything

While some fret over the President’s assertive comments, I hold tight to his honesty, say what is needed, and stop playing the political speak games the politicians engage in. Since President Trump, we have changed the way we think about Washington (A MUST).
 
Joe Biden will be a short front image soon to be over taken by the VP, who will get intensive training in all things left. We cannot sustain nor survive with either of them, and they must not be elected.

Joe Biden has stuck his foot in his mouth so many times that you would think he might choke himself to death. He is, at best, disingenuous about anything he has said about race. He does not understand his comments in regard to his superior “white” perspective. It goes along with all of his other shortcomings including his failing mental capacity.

Biden’s a typical Democrat. That is he’s a liar who has been making empty promises to minorities for decades while the GOP has delivered the only real improvements. The Democrats sell snake-oil and ignorant people buy it. They still do. Remember the Democrats were the party of slavery, the party of the KKK, the party opposing integration of schools and everything else, the party that opposed the Civil Rights Act until they saw a political benefit for supporting it, and are still today the party working to keep minorities poor and dependent of government. A wise black conservative wrote recently that Democrats don’t care about black lives, only about black votes. Summed it up very well I thought.
