“failing to select a Black woman in 2020 means you will lose the election.”

the group wrote that it “disgusts us that Black women are not just being vetted in this VP process but unfairly criticized and scrutinized.”


But the letter warned that “failing to select a Black woman in 2020 means you will lose the election. We don't want to choose between the lesser of two evils and we don't want to vote the devil we know versus the devil we don't because we are tired of voting for devils—period

@ Biden

As a freshman senator representing Delaware in the 1970s, Biden took a lead role in fighting against the desegregation of schools through busing, as the Washington Post reported last year. And he didn't just come out against it, he introduced an amendment for education funding that explicitly said that money could not be used for desegregation purposes. At the time, the NAACP said Biden's proposal was "an anti-black amendment." But the worst part of it is that Biden was actually in favor of desegregation but completely caved to political pressure to come out against it.

As most know, in 1994, Biden wrote one of the most devastating pieces of legislation in recent history the so-called Biden Crime Bill that disproportionately locked hundreds of thousands of young Black men in prison. Biden was the key architect of this mass incarceration legislation that has decimated Black communities for decades.

And it's not just his anti-Black voting record that should concern Black Americans. His rhetoric has often sounded like it's straight out of the antebellum South.

Biden was extremely worried that desegregation policies would cause his children to grow up "in a racial jungle." In pushing for tough-oncrime laws on the Senate floor Biden referred to young Black men as "predators" without a conscience who must be locked away from society. As recently as 2010, Joe Biden eulogized former Ku Klux Klan member Robert Byrd as a "friend," a "mentor" and a "guide." Even as recent as earlier this year, during a debate question about the legacy of slavery, Biden took that moment to chastise Black people on their parenting abilities.

Even before the pandemic, Black workers in Los Angeles with the same educational experience as white workers had almost double the unemployment rate as white workers, were underrepresented in professional jobs, had lower rates in managerial roles and earned only three-quarters of what white workers did. For Black women, the wage gap in Los Angeles is even worse. This is no doubt shocking data, yet Garcetti was selected by Biden to advise him on who his running mate should be.

Biden is an old white racist that doesn't even know he's a racist

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

— Joe Biden, describing fellow candidate Barack Obama. The remark was made the same day Biden filed the official paperwork to launch his presidential campaign. Biden later apologized and said the remark was taken out of context.

"In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."

— Joe Biden, captured on C-SPAN's "Road to the White House" series, trying to bond with an Indian-American supporter.

"I started thinking as I was coming over here, Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?"

— Joe Biden, during his first presidential run, lifting passages and even gestures from a speech by Neil Kinnock without giving credit to the leader of the British Labour Party.

Biden's problems continued when C-SPAN footage surfaced two weeks later showing Biden inflating his academic record at law school. (His claims included one that he finished in the top half of his class at Syracuse Law School; he graduated 76th of 85.) Though he later called the accusations of plagiarism "much ado about nothing," he dropped out of the race on Sept. 23.

Yes, how dare these people express their opinion! Shut up, black celebrities! What do you think this is, America where everyone is endowed with certain inalienable rights? Don't you know you're black? Don't you dare try to express an opinion that might influence the choice of a Vice Presidential candidate that the OP won't be voting for anyway. Don't you know how fragile InSearchOfStarfish's sense of security is?

Look at what you made him do? He felt so scared and enraged at the temerity of your political analysis and opinion being expressed that he had to start a blog. On HX! Come on, Charlamagne tha God, have some sensitivity toward Starfish's feelings. You're a black man in America. Your opinion being talked about threatens him. He needs to know that the current power structure of white supremacy will remain intact and unchallenged in order to get it up.

The foundations of this country were set up to protect, insulate and enrich white people. But so many of us white people don't know that or refuse to do the research to understand their own uncomfortable history. So when they see empowered, intelligent black voices amplify their political opinion, it terrifies the shit out of them. So, please, black celebrities, have some compassion and just keep it to yourselves. Sheesh.

Anyone who equates Donald Trump to Joe Biden is painfully and hopelessly unaware of the world around him.

Similarities: Old and white.

Differences: Just about everything else.

I swear, some of you fucks wouldn't know reality if it bit your dick off and shoved it down your throat while wearing an oversized neon orange name tag that said "Hello, my name is Reality" written in metallic chartreuse from an extra wide permanent Sharpie.

Gotta admit, it made you laugh j502,

I'll pay some attention to that opinion

In the meantime, I'm gonna ignore all you sad brainwashed white guilt-trippers, k?

Bass supposedly supports scientology. Harris has a ton of baggage from her DA/AG days. Not familiar with Rice's background.

OT, but there should be an age limit for the president. We don't need these mentally challenged geezers running the country. Can't be over 66 by the time you're sworn into office.

J502... they took it farther than expressing an opinion.

He needs someone who’s helps him secure Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. I don’t think any of those ladies help him there.

He’s in a tough spot. They screwed him with the ultimatum. If he picks a black woman... it will easily be painted as kowtowing to the pressure. If he doesn’t he alienates a part of the electorate he needs.

Poor Joe. Who needs enemies when your friends fuck you in the ass using jalapeño juice as lube.

Kaiser - "J502... they took it farther than expressing an opinion."

Oh, really? How? It was words, about politics. Did they hold a gun to his head? Did they kidnap Jill? The title of this blog is the OP's point. White people and famous ones to boot express their political opinions quite often. These guys opinion happened to be on the topic of the day - Who will be Biden's VP pick. They gave him their 2 cents. What the hell is wrong with that?

I don't see the OP creating a blog every time Hannity or Carlson or Sean Penn or Jon Voight gives their political advice/opinion.

No way it's Karen Bass, She will fuck up Florida for Biden because of her praising Castro and she is demonstrably pro Commie and Socialist. See attached.

Kamala Harris couldn't sway even Dems to like her. Plus she called Biden a racist and he will look like an enormous pussy if he picks her. And the whole sleeping/sucking her way to the top via Willie Brown soooooo.....

Gotta be Rice.

Hahahahaha, are you serious Captain? Have you heard of the Red Scare? Do you know who Sen. Joe McCarthy is? Did you even read the article from the New York Post you linked? (The Post, of course, is owned by Rupert Murdoch who owns Fox News...)

The article states she spoke at two socialist meetings years apart approximately 30-40 years ago. This makes her a "commie" in your eyes? Nice well-rounded research, Captain. More power to ya, big fella.

She also volunteered in Cuban hospitals in her late teens/early 20s. So when Castro died, she acknowledged what he meant to the friends she made at that time. So she's a devout Socialist as a result?

Meanwhile, Karen Bass is known for working with Republicans to find common ground, is the leader of her caucus in the House and one of the most respected members on Capitol Hill.

But yeah, let's ignore what she's done in her professional life over the last 20 years and define her by 2 meetings she went to decades ago and some friendly condolences she told to friends she made when she was a teenager.

Good work, Cap.

J- did you read the letter?

Ok... you think the impact of an open/public letter from 100 black men (all either celebrities or famous people of influence) who you rarely hear from politically, you compare that with the Impact of 2 white, right wing pundits who spout their political Opinions every day?

Granted it was a poorly reasoned letter that didn’t consider breadth of Biden’s need... but it was more than an opinion. It was a prediction and a subtle threat. (Not a threat of violence but of support if he didn’t do what they wanted)

It’s a horrible position to put ‘your” candidate in.

“Failing to select a Black woman in 2020 means you will lose the election. We don’t want to choose between the lesser of two evils and we don’t want to vote the devil we know versus the devil we don’t because we are tired of voting for devils — period.”

It’s also funny that they imply voting for a black woman would mean they would not have to vote for a “devil.”

They aren’t helping him.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and HARD."

"Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods."

"Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses."

"If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner."

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
