Hypocrisy at its BEST

 

Biden says, 'I don't think the American people are racist,' despite finding 'systemic racism'

'I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow and before that, slavery, has had a cost,' Biden said


A FOX News Headline reports...

I find this incredibly odd to say the least...  President Biden must think that everyone who is Democrats and automatically supports him regardless of his position or comments, IS STUPID....

It is impossible both logically and illogically for Americans not to be racist while at the same time they are being accused of living with systemic racism...  how does systemic racism perpetuate itself without the American people being racists?

Whoever is writing Biden's speeches needs to get their act together or someone needs to tell Biden to stop straying away from the prepared script...  

On the WHOLE, America will continue to be RACIST as long as we have?
  • Black and White Churches
  • Black and White Communities/Neighborhoods
  • Black and White Social Clubs
  • Black and White Colleges and Universities
  • Black and White Cultural Centers
It is not just the WHITES that have to change...  BLACKS need to change as well...  and, until that happens, SYSTEMIC RACISM will continue to flourish in the USA...

What Is On Our Minds

 Does President Biden have the mental ability to handle what is going on domestically and internationally?


As our President, Biden should be addressing the following concerns rather than promoting an INFRASTRUCTURE BILL that has over 50% PORK in it... 

  1. Southern border immigration in US
  2. Systemic Racism in US
  3. Wealth gap in US
  4. Slow growing economy in US
  5. Inferior US education K-12
  6. One Party Control of US politics
  7. Price increases in US due to increase in Corporate tax rate
  8. Cost of healthcare in US
  9. Cancel Culture in US
  10. Defund police in US
  11. increase in National Debt in US
  12. Increase in gasoline prices in US
  13. Increase in illegal drug use in US
  14. Increase in crime in US
  15. Global increase in UFO activity
  16. Losing the global race to space
  17. Russian aggression
  18. Russia/Germany Pipeline
  19. China's economic threat
  20. China's militaristic threat
  21. Coalition between Russia, China, and North Korea
  22. Coalition between Russia, China, and Iran
  23. North Korea's nuclear program
  24. Iran's nuclear program
  25. Euro dollar worth more than US dollar
It would appear that President Biden does not care about the USA as a WHOLE COUNTRY, only his party, the Democrats, and the Socialists that are pulling his strings...  what he does not fully grasp is the fact that 50% of the people DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM and those people will not stand idle as he moves in another direction.

The more he moves in the direction into which he is currently moving, the more they will resist him and the more DIVIDED our country will become...   A divided country is NOT STRONG...

Systemic Racism is VISCERAL

Oprah Winfrey has said that the US is at a “true tipping point” with regards to systemic racism.  Speaking on her new YouTube series, Own Spotlight, on which the legendary talkshow host has conversations with black visionaries and activists, Winfrey explained why the Black Lives Matter movement is so seminal.

“We find our nation on a precipice, a true tipping point,” she said.

“And just like all of you for the past few weeks I’ve been talking and zooming with friends and the same question keeps popping up.

“Is this the moment that will finally change our country where people recognize systemic racism for the problem and the evil that it is? Where do we go from here and what is it that we really want?”

Winfrey added that nothing will change until “we acknowledge the hurt and the pain which we have all seen and have felt as visceral”.

Oprah wants us ( I am assuming WHITE AMERICANS ONLY) to recognize systemic racism for the problem and the evil it really is...  and, while that is all fine and dandy...  how does she propose that this little task be accomplished?  The problem is that Oprah proposes NOTHING...  because no one really knows how to change people and/or make them feel the hurt and pain of blacks viscerally...  IT CANNOT BE DONE...

The only thing that America's leaders can do is PASS LEGISLATION that forces people to do this or that...  but, no legislation will ever change what people may or may not feel viscerally...  IT JUST CANNOT BE DONE...

The other issue here is that Oprah Winfrey DOES NOT CONDEMN those blacks who are rioting, burning, and looting our larger cities nor does she CONDEMN blacks shooting white law enforcement officers out of revenge and retaliation, nor does she CONDEMN the defunding of police departments...  nor does she CONDEMN the SYSTEMIC HATRED THAT BLACKS HAVE DEVELOPED FOR WHITES because they are the sons and daughters of SLAVES and the visceral feeling of hate for the WHITES will not go away...

If Oprah WInfrey won't CONDEMN what what the Blacks are doing then one can only conclude that she SUPPORTS IT...

Systemic Racism In America

Brookings Institute
PREMISE:  If Racism is systemic in America then racism cannot be blamed on President Trump, but on the Congress of the United States and on the American People as a whole, including legal immigrants...

Brookings Institute:  Slavery was America’s “original sin.” It was not solved by the framers of the U.S. Constitution, nor was it resolved by the horrendous conflict that was of the American Civil War. It simply changed its odious form and continued the generational enslavement of an entire strata of American society. In turn, the Civil Rights Movement struck a mighty blow against racism in America, and our souls soared when Dr. King told us he had a dream. But we were and still are far from the “promised land.” And even when America rose up to elect its first Black President, Barack Obama, we may indeed have lost ground as a collective nation along the way.


About Brookings
The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. Our mission is to conduct in-depth research that leads to new ideas for solving problems facing society at the local, national and global level. Brookings brings together more than 300 leading experts in government and academia from all over the world who provide the highest quality research, policy recommendations, and analysis on a full range of public policy issues.

To blame President Trump for making SYSTEMIC RACISM worse is ludicrous at best and just plain ignorant at worst...

Blacks as well as Whites
White and Black Churches
Our Educational Systems
Businesses and Organizations
ALL Branches of the Armed Forces
ALL Police and Fire Departments
Media Outlets
The House of Representatives
The Senate
ALL State Governors
Mayors of Cities
The Voting Public
The Non Voting Public
