Biden calls Trump the first racist US president
By John Bowden - 07/22/20 05:30 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) referred to President Trump as the first "racist" president during a town hall event on Wednesday.

Biden was questioned during the event, which was organized by the Service Employees International Union, about Trump's tendency to refer to COVID-19 as the "China virus" or "Wuhan virus."

"What President Trump has done in his spreading of racism ... the way he deals with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they’re from, is absolutely sickening," Biden said.


"No sitting president has ever done this," Biden said. "Never, never, never. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We've had racists, and they’ve existed. They’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has."

Lies make Jesus cry.

Actually, the first racist president was Obama.  Forget the argument that black people can't be racist.  This man was a mix and it seems he so hated his white mother that he projected that hatred to every white person.  I don't think he cared much for Biden and probably would have rather had a black person as VP.

Not the words of a candidate with an 11 point lead.

While Obama was a racist and an anti-Semite, Woodrow Wilson was also a racist.

1986: Trump, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali received ‘Ellis Island’ award
BY KYLE OLSON   SEPTEMBER 4, 2016

No one accused Donald Trump of being a racist until he decided to run for president and became a threat to Hillary Clinton’s return to power.
In 1986, Trump joined several other prominent Americans, such as Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali, as recipients of an “Ellis Island Award.”
One suspects if Trump was a racist, there’s no way he would have posed for a photo with those two.

The New York Times reported on October 16, 1986:
Eighty Americans from 42 ethnic groups were named yesterday as recipients of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation.
The medals will be presented to the recipients, all either naturalized or native Americans, at a ceremony Oct. 27 on Ellis Island. That is the day before the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, the final event of the 1986 Liberty Centennial observances. …
Those named yesterday were selected from more than 15,000 nominations. The winners, a mixture of prominent and relatively unknown citizens, were screened by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, which was selected for the work by the foundation.
The National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations lists its reasoning behind the awards on its website:
The ELLIS ISLAND MEDALS OF HONOR are awarded annually to a group of distinguished American citizens who exemplify a life dedicated to community service. These are individuals who preserve and celebrate the history, traditions and values of their ancestry while exemplifying the values of the American way of life, and who are dedicated to creating a better world for us all.
It also lists its award recipient criteria, including:
Integrity
Passion
Gravitas
Humanitarian
Ethnic Heritage
If Trump was a racist then, why would he have been honored by such an organization?

Joe Biden, 1993:

The consensus is:
A) We must take back the streets. It doesn't matter whether or not the person that is accosting your son or daughter, or my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents - it doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth. It doesn't matter whether or not they had no background that would enable them to have, to become, uh, to become, uh, become socialized into the fabric of society. It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society. The end result is they're about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my sons.  ...

There's a second thing that we all have agreed upon, and that is:
Unless we do something about that cadre of young people - tens of thousands of them - born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing because they literally (I yield myself three more minutes) because they literally have not been socialized. They literally have not had an opportunity. We should focus on them now. Not out of a liberal instinct for love, brother, and humanity - although I think that's a good instinct - but for simple, pragmatic reasons.

If we don't, they will, or a portion of them will, become the predators fifteen years from now - and Madam President, we have predators on our streets, that society has, in fact, in part because of its neglect, created. Again, it does not mean, because we created them, that we somehow forgive them or do not take them out of society to protect my family and yours from them. They are beyond the pale, many of those people, beyond the pale, and it's a sad commentary on society. We have no choice but to take them out of society, and the truth is we don't very well know how to rehabilitate them at that point. That's the sad truth.  ...

Funny...but...

that more aptly describes how Democrats "deal with people".... always based on skin color (or gender) ...which equates to how many votes they think they can get for "x" amount of pandering and promises.

Projecting much, Joe?

"....the way he deals with people based on the color of their skin..."

I'm giving him Joe a break here. Trump is the only President he can remember.

President Trump engineered an economy, before the Covid panic caused everyone to lose their minds,  that employed blacks and other minority citizens as never before.  By that simple and tangible measure, he's the least racist President in history.

They really hate Jackson, the founder of their own Party.  So much so that O'Bastard tried to push him off the $20 bill.

"The white men of the South were aroused by the mere instinct of self-preservation to rid themselves, by fair means or foul, of the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant Negroes and conducted in the interest of adventurers."

"The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation . . . until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country."

1919-1921 were, ummm, not good times for black veterans returning from service during WW1. Though how conscious Wilson was of those atrocities is open to question. That he helped foster the social context in which those atrocious things happened is undeniable, IMO.
