The last Dem president argued against de-segregating schools...

During a U.S. Senate debate on busing for racial desegregation in 1977, then-Sen. Joe Biden said, "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

It's a square/rectangle thing.

Every Republican is racist, but that doesn't mean every racist is a Republican.

So especially when a Dem can't shut up about how much he gets along with the party of racists, you can't say racism is exclusively a Republican problem.

Racists will always try to spread, if they control one political party, why the fuck wouldn't they try to get in charge of the only other option too?

What?

That was the last time school desegregation was argued in our political chambers...

Biden and the Republicans lost.

Are you confused that "argued" means past tense?

I don't understand what you mean...

You're equating something Biden argued in 1977 to what republicans are doing right now.

It seems a little weird to me. How is it even relevant to the meme?

No.

I pointed out that our last Dem.president sided with the racists on a very important piece of legislation...

In 40 years would you support Fetterman as the Dem presidential candidate? Or would you say his conservative positions and actions today should preclude him that?

Biden doesn't even know the answer to that question...

But I certainly hope he isn't

The guy has traumatic brain injury so not only will he not be alive, his brain is literally damaged... But yes if he changed racist views and grew and somehow fixed his brain injuries and was the best candidate at a time then yes people should support him

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I believe people can change.

There are things people learn early in their life from what they are exposed to (e.g. their parents' beliefs) that take time and experience to erase.

because people that are into sports politics will ignore actions by 'their team' while vilifying the 'other team' for the same actions

meme is just promoting football politics

relevant because should get off this football politics mentality that got us here in the first place

meme is horseshit

give the people facts and previous job experience and etcetera not their colors or letters or team

he means Biden is still a racist and he definitely is a racist boomer that hordes wealth and resources from the youth

was vice president for an uncle tom before being president too

biden and the democrats have during their time in office added to the poverty and misery as much as the republicans by not doing enough and colluding with republicans for the owner class

one party is in the open and the other is still in the closet but it does not mean the one in the closest not the same thing just not out yet

but the dnc sure did look different this year or more the same however want to look at it
