What is offensive from Joe Biden is how clueless he is as to why racist, self-described proud segregationist senators Herman Talmadge and James Eastland calling him “son” instead of “boy” is to those who would never have been called “son.”
Well, that and how my senator Kamal Harris nailed him in Thursday’s debate on his past history of opposing federal policy regarding school integration.
As for how that relates to REPARATIONS — wealth that was produced by non-consensual forced labor created the wealth of great plantations. After being emancipated, African Americans were promised “forty acres and a mule” which they NEVER GOT.
THEY produced the wealth of the south.
THEIR WEALTH, their inheritance, has been handed down through UNEARNED INHERITANCE to successive generations of the “old, genteel” Southern estates.
All plantation estates that can be traced to the slave era should be redistributed to the rightful owners — the heirs of the African Americans forcibly brought here prior to 1865 — WITH INTEREST.
Wealth produced by European immigrants that were not involved in slavery (those in the North; those who arrived after 1865) would not be affected, and African Americans who came here would not be entitled.
Joe’s and too many “regular” people prove systemic racism by being oblivious. Maybe through ignorance. Maybe by choice. Maybe by lack of education. Same with women. Even women diss their own sex which is extremely sad.
Biden’s tone deaf, old, not entirely bright, male, definitely un-woke, white, and still gets a lot of name recognition. I’ll be voting for Warren in the primaries and whoever opposes the current mistake in the election.

Actually, the guy in the “alternate” MAGA cap isn’t worried about Biden never being called “boy”, he’s worried that soon HE may be.
