Biden's Race





"All I know is this. The last President we had was more orange than white. But that President, knew how to help people of color. How to remove roadblocks to ensure they can be successful. To ensure they can, like everyone else, live the American dream." 


In 1961, there was a book published called "Black Like Me". It was penned by an author named John Howard Griffin. It was the story of a writer in the south in the 1950's, who wanted to find out what black people went through. He took some drugs which tinted his skin a light brown, but dark enough to him to pass as a black man. The book was later made into a movie, and was seen by many (including me). I thought of that movie the other day, when I heard our President speak.

Sometimes I wonder if Joe Biden hates himself because he is white. Or if this is all a big show. A political stunt to garner more black and brown votes. Biden the divider, really works hard to paint the conservatives in this country as racists. How so? Voting. Voter ID. In fact, Joe Biden is headed down to Georgia today, to further divide the country. How so? Telling anyone who will listen, hopefully many folks of color, what happened in Georgia with their new voting law - was nothing more than voter suppression. As such, the only thing which can fix this travesty of justice, is the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 (now that is a mouthful!).

A couple minor problems however. First off, there are not enough votes in the Senate to make this bill happen. Unless - Senate rules are suspended. Then only a simple majority is needed. Next, even if that did happen, and a simple majority is needed, there probably are not enough Democrat Senators to vote for it. Every Republican Senator will vote against it. Finally, there is this natty thing called the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear that each state has the right to determine how voting will be done in that state. But don't worry - the Constitution has never stopped Biden before.

Here is an interesting tidbit. The once radical leftist, but now is starting to talk a bit like a conservative - is Bill Maher. Maher has been chiding Biden and the Democrats as of late. Not just a little bit, but a lotta bit. He recently said, "Go ahead and hate Trump if you want to, but hating the people in this country who like Trump is foolish. Why? They make up half the country." Bingo! But the Biden the "divider" does not care about that. He even mentioned Trump's supporters in his vile January 6th diatribe. 

Two more points on voter suppression for the poor and minorities. First, if someone does not have a driver's license for proof of identity, most states will give a person a legal ID for free. Since an ID is required for most other things, this is a hot deal for someone with limited income. 

Second, when the new voting law in Georgia was compared to the existing voting law in Delaware (Biden's home roost), there was no comparison. The new law in Georgia is much more voter friendly. If this is fact, why has the MSM not called Biden out on this? I think we all know the answer to that one.

What is Biden's race? Looking at him, I would have to say white. But he seems not to care for white folk. When it comes to getting elected or re-elected, he much prefers people of color. All I know is this. The last President was white with a bit of an orange tint. That President knew how to help people of color. How to remove roadblocks, to ensure they can be successful. He wanted everyone, black, brown, red, yellow or white, to live the American dream. 

All Biden can do is promise and pander. If there is something else, please let me know.
