On a campaign stop in South Carolina a few weeks ago, Biden also made a little "joke" for his majority white audience.
After a club member noted an upcoming event at the state Department of Archives and History included a chance to see the state's original copy of the Articles of Secession, Biden asked: "Where else could I go to a Rotary Club where (for a) Christmas Party the highlight is looking at the Articles?"
Biden noted Delaware was a border state and "a slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South - there were a couple of other states in the way."The crowd roared with laughter.
Oh, nudge, nudge, wink, wink to those "grand old days" of the Confederacy; a time when blacks were still slaves. A little "Oh, we really wanted to be on your side, good ol' boys." Biden knew who his audience was, and he pandered to them at the expense of blacks.
How many racist "gaffes" does Biden have to make before we're all convinced he's racist? He's not going to don a white sheet and burn a cross on someone's lawn. He's unlikely to outright use the n-word. But racism in our society can be far more subtle and insidious than that. It's Biden's kind of racism that's the hardest to fight, because it isn't overt. Whites can (and do) always just look at a specific incident in isolation and say "Oh, well, it wasn't the smartest thing to say, but I'm sure it was just a joke/compliment."
Biden has exhibited a pattern. It's time to stop looking at his remarks as one-off "mistakes." Joe Biden does not deserve to be President. He cannot be trusted to be concerned with the well-being of all Americans.
