New York Magazine recently ran a piece that argues since President Trump is racist, all of his supporters are racist until the end of time. Their scientific formula is: if a presidential candidate is racist that racism is transmitted to his or her supporters and remains indefinitely. Their rule, not mine. If this is true, Joe Biden has a terrible history of racist, so according to the science, his supporters are racist forever. I tend to think they’re just stupid but who am I to argue with science?
Johnathan Chait presented this thesis in NY Mag: The Stench of Trump’s Racism Will Cling to His Enablers Forever
And here’s the abstract:
The conservatives could make a case for supporting Trump despite his racial politics. Instead they present his racial politics as a point in his favor. One day, after Trump is gone, they will make it out that they never liked the racism. But the stink will cling to them nevertheless.
This otherwise brilliant scientific study is flawed because Chait was unable to establish any evidence that President Trump is racist. The only 2 examples he could come up with was that he said Ilhan Omar doesn’t get to tell us how to run our country and that time the fake news reported that he called some third world countries “shitholes.” Chait didn’t even go with the million-times debunked “very fine people” thing or the lie that he called Mexicans rapists.
Despite being unable to prove that President Trump and his supporters are racist, his formula is still rock solid. If a person supports a presidential candidate who is openly racist, that person is also a racist.
Let’s examine the candidate Joe Biden supporters are backing:
In 1972, as he told in his autobiography, Biden went out hunting black people to assault after his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident.
in 1975, Biden was against racial integration asking, “Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?”
Biden was also vehemently against slave reparations when he said, “I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years.’ I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”
Also in 1975, Biden voted to reinstate Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s U.S. Citizenship.
In 1984, Joe Biden called Reverend Jesse Jackson “boy.”
During the Senate confirmation hearings for Ruth Bader Ginsberg in 1993, then-Senator Biden referred to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a group with KKK ties, as “fine people.”
In 2007, Biden said black people are crappy parents: “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with. When you have children coming from dysfunctional homes, when you have children coming from homes where there’s no books, where the mother from the time they’re born doesn’t talk to them — as opposed to the mother in Iowa who’s sitting out there and talks to them, the kid starts out with a 300 word larger vocabulary at age three. Half this education gap exists before the kid steps foot in the classroom.
In 2008, Biden marveled that Barack Obama was, the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.”
In 2010, Joe Biden delivered the eulogy for Robert Byrd, who was an Exalted Cyclops of the KKK.
Just after launching his presidential bid in 2019, Biden indicated that being black is synonymous with poverty saying, “Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
In June 2019 Biden bragged about working with segregationists James O. Eastland and Herman Talmadge who were avowed white supremacists.
In November 2019, Biden claimed he is actually black saying, “I come out of the black community.”
In January, Biden tried again to claim he is actually black by saying, “I was raised in the black church, politically, not a joke.”
In February, Biden lied that he was arrested in South Africa for trying to meet Nelson Mandela.
In May, Biden informed black people they “ain’t black” unless they vote for him.
In August, Biden said all black people are the same because they lack diversity.
In October, Biden implied that the only people with low paying grocery store jobs are black women.
Last week, Biden had nice things to say about Adolf Hitler.
As you can see by this cited and irrefutable evidence, Joe Biden has done and said some very racist things over his million-year political career. Science tells us that if it sounds like a racist and walk like a racist, it’s racist.
With that in mind, NY Mag’s formula proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Biden supporters are juts as racist as he is and that they can never wash off the stench. Science is awesome!
There’s even more good news because this is how many people actually support Joe Biden:
Science also proves that America isn’t a very racist place because Joe’s racist supporters are only in the double-digits.
