The disgraceful promotion of Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy is
all the proof one needs that the black misleadership class is a grave
danger to their community and to the nation. Biden was chosen to be
Barack Obama’s running mate in 2008 precisely because of his right wing
credentials. But he no longer has Obama’s imprimatur to protect him and
his racist history is now out in the open for all to see.
He was always a lesser light in the Senate and was no better as vice
president. Even in 2008 he opined that Obama was “clean and articulate”
-- a remark which ought to have disqualified him from vice presidential
consideration with a black candidate. But Obama’s goal was to make clear
his own rightward trajectory. Choosing a senator who was anything but
progressive and a staunch zionist gave great comfort to the Democratic
party donor class.
The unwavering support from the Congressional Black Caucus should be
an embarrassment, but these are shameless people after all. One wouldn’t
know that Biden thanked Dixiecrat Senator James Eastland for assisting
him in bringing anti-busing legislation to
a vote. These facts are inconvenient for people whose presence in
office is meant to squelch any effort at black self-determination.
