Our nation and its leaders must never be afraid to speak the truth about our past.

@georgetakei Thats ironic coming from a president who has one of the worst racist records in history, he spent most of his career trying to keep segregation alive because he didnt want school to be a "racial jungle"

@freemo “worst racist records in history”? Worse than George Wallace? Really? And yet he’s changed his POV, and today Biden is the most progressive president in US history. I appreciate people who can change, who speak the truth today. @georgetakei

@MoiraEve

Why did you just quote me and then use words I didnt say?

> You said “worst racist records in history”
as if I said that yet i didnt say those words.

What I did say wwas very different

@georgetakei

@realcaseyrollins

Indeed and a very important distinction :) I usually pick my words very carefully, its a shame people dont put as much care into reading what I say as I put into saying it.

@MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo And yet a still completely irrelevant statement, given how much he has evolved. @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo Except that according to your own words in your timeline, you don’t consider it history. You consider him to be a racist right now and that’s the point you were trying to get across and that’s the point that was irrelevant because he isn’t. @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@Pineywoozle @freemo @MoiraEve @georgetakei Who said anything about “right now”? This whole dang thread is about history 😂

@realcaseyrollins @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @freemo @georgetakei they can just sweep aside that Biden wrote the 1994 tough on crime bill that targets balck people and he still defends it to this day

@Grimwing

Their ability to just ignore most of reality and state things with a complete disconnect is actually rather astonishing to witness to be honest... Its like seeing someone on acid who thinks there are dragons in their closet.

@Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @realcaseyrollins @georgetakei

@Pineywoozle

Well Biden is a friend of my father and moth and he comes over for dinner and spends the night from time to time. So yea I am certainly basing it off some level of bias. But yea, the man is a raging asshole and racist.

I mean it is kinda obvious with how he exploits minorities to get ahead and then attacks the racial identity of people who dont support him and dont want on his team. "If you dont support me you aint black" in his own words (never mind the fact he had to use broken english because he associates blacks with not being able to speak in an educated way).... Yea right here and now it has been overwhelmingly obvious he is still a racist, just one smart enough to know he has to exploit them now rather than abuse them to get ahead.

@realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei I had thought for years now that this was a fake quote, so I searched it to double check (and correct you) but you are totally right. He also said “poor kids are just as talented as white kids” 😬 although at least that was a slip of the tongue and not what he meant to say.

@justpeachy

There is video of him saying it. The fact that he used broken english to say it is particularly telling of his racist mindset.

@Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@justpeachy @freemo @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

N.B. that you're interacting with Freemo, an account that makes over 9000 posts a month, has over 30k "followers" (but never gets any likes), and whose "dad" is a "friend" of Joe Biden.

Biden even spends the night sometimes!

Wowie zowie! I bet they play checkers and watch reruns of Friends.

Also, he's a "doctor."

@DoesntExist

If I send you pictures of my dad with Biden at his house will admit your a dumbass?

And since when do I have 9000 posts a month?

as for having 30K followers, yea im very well known on the fediverse. I was the first one to get a post on both HackerNews and YCombinator... My account is also one of the older ones on the fedi.

The fact that you think im fake is kinda laughable.

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@DoesntExist

Oh and as for my credentials, a quick search on google scholar would land you with tons of peer review papers I am listed as an author too.... man your a fucking joke.

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@DoesntExist

Do the math. I have been ont he fedi for about 5 years now and have 52K toots... go back to school if you think that equates to 9K per month. You can verify this by simply looking at the date of my first toot.

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@DoesntExist

I do yes, in fact youll find most of the typos I couldnt give a shit about in a reply here wouldnt appear in a peer reviewed paper. I also tend to read peer-reviewed papers 10 times over to find them.

Do you always use childish reasons like typos to troll people?

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

I'm an editor. I've done more than 40 books.

Making the same mistake twice in rapid succession isn't a typo, especially with a common misspelling.

Anyway, link me some of these articles you authored, and we can discuss them. Let's see how well you understand your supposed field.

@DoesntExist

> Making the same mistake twice in rapid succession isn't a typo, especially with a common misspelling.

Thats a lot of words for saying "its a typo you make often".. typos are specific type of misspelling where the person known the correct spelling but either commonly mistypes the same way, or simply doesnt care in casual conversation to make the extra key presses on their phone.

I do **not** care about my spelling or grammar when I make replies online so long as I can be understood. Why you think anyone will care about the nature of my typos or what it may reflect is beyond me. But as is clear, no one gives a shit about some typos. Nice try though.

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

I'll wait for the links to those articles. Let's see if you know your field.

Did I mention I'm an editor for an academic press?

Show me anything. I'll ask you a few questions. You should LOVE talking about your research publications.

@DoesntExist

Sure I'd be happy to share it, again just search for my name youll be able to find any of the dozens of papers I've authored.

The fact that you couldnt even do the simple math to figure out the number of posts I make a month I dont expect any interaction with you to be valuable or well informed. But your welcome to look up any of my papers and if I get the sense you evolve from troll to scholar Ill even be happy to engage you.

When im done work if your still unable to figure out how to do an author search on google scholar ill link you my orcid when i get home.

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

There are many Jeffrey P Freemans out there. Are you researching mycology or aerodynamics, for example?

You can't link a single article? You don't have a C.V. handy?

That's interesting.

Here's an idea: Give me one title of any academic article you've written. Just one. It can be your dissertation topic, if you like. Anything will do.

Surely you can remember the title of one.

You misspelled "you're" again.

@DoesntExist

> There are many Jeffrey P Freemans out there. Are you researching mycology or aerodynamics, for example?

Sounds like you found me, I have helped author papers on aerodynamics, mycology one isnt me though. You will also find quite a few in the biology field, Physics, Biochemistry, COVID-19, software, algorithms, and some purely math stuff. If you search for my full name everything you find is likely to be mine, make sure you include my initial.

> You can't link a single article? You don't have a C.V. handy?

You keep links to your work physically on you whe your away from home. Maybe if you stopped being an asshole troll I might value the conversation enough to invest the rather minimal effort it would take to get the link while im away from home. As it stands right now the most you earn is my orcid when im bored enough to go get it for you.

"Admit your a dumbass" is my favorite thing ever.

I work for a YC co. What you said makes no sense.

Say hi to your mom for me. I'll send a pic of me at her house for you.

@DoesntExist

Sorry I see you dont understand. HackerNews is a place where things get posted that often results in a lot of traffic due to its popularity, it is owned by YC. To put it more simply, I was the first one from the fediverse to ever show up in the #1 rank here: news.ycombinator.com/

@justpeachy @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@DoesntExist 😬 didn’t notice all of that; I agree it’s sketchy. Obv I didn’t believe the stuff about Biden and his dad 😅 Biden did pretty much say that quote though, I saw a video.

@DoesntExist @justpeachy @freemo@qoto.org @Pineywoozle @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei I love running into conversations where people are arguing with him, but I can't see his BS because I already blocked him.

@hosford42 @DoesntExist @justpeachy @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @georgetakei Haha and funnily enough I couldn’t see who you responded to at first because he threw a fit after losing an argument with me in this thread and blocked me 😂

@hosford42 Thank you Jesus for the mute and block buttons!🙂

@realcaseyrollins @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @freemo @georgetakei
Freedom fighters like to try to counter crazy, deluded, biased attacks on our allies working to fight fascism, deal with it.

Labeling Joe Biden a racist is a desperate attempt by the authoritarians to help defeat their opponent.

@GreenFire

I mean he literally started his career and spent most of it trying to prevent desegregation and even explicitly stated he didnt want mixed races in school because he didnt want his kid to "grow up in a racial jungle"... But hey, make excuses for his racist behavior, nothing new.

@realcaseyrollins @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo No one made excuses for his past behavior what they did state is that it’s in the past and irrelevant at this point. You called it history, but then, in your own words, claim that he still a racist. Gonna block you and the other guy now because anyone who is actively trying to label Joe Biden as a racist, etc. is doing so in aid of a fascist take over whether they realize it or not, and I’m not gonna give a platform. @GreenFire @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@Pineywoozle

> No one made excuses for his past behavior what they did state is that it’s in the past and irrelevant at this point.

Except its not. His behavior is clearly one of someone who remains racist, and I gave an example of that. He has choosen to take advantage of black people and use them to advance his own career while continuing to show he is clearly a raging racist my attacking the racial identity of anyone who doesnt support him by saying they arent even black.

> You called it history, but then, in your own words, claim that he still a racist.

Yes, you do realize something can be true historically while still be true today right? It is historic fact that he is a racist, it is also a fact he is still a racist.

> Gonna block you and the other guy now because anyone who is actively trying to label Joe Biden as a racist, etc. is doing so in aid of a fascist take over whether they realize it or not, and I’m not gonna give a platform.

That is about the level of maturity and critical thinking I'd expect when faced with racism... no surprise there.

@GreenFire @realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@Pineywoozle @freemo @GreenFire @MoiraEve @georgetakei This one’s funny.

How hard is it to comprehend that he was referring primarily historical conduct, not present conduct? You brought up the subject of whether or not he’s a racist, not Freemo.

Maybe I shouldn’t be shocked that literacy rates are so low in the #USA after all, if people like you are relatively common.

@realcaseyrollins

Biden has turn "I'm not a racist, I have black friends" into an entire presidency...

@Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @GreenFire @georgetakei

@freemo @realcaseyrollins @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @georgetakei
Dr. Freemo has, "I'm a leftist working hard to put authoritarians in power" vibe oozing out of his vodka smelling pores.

@GreenFire

I suppose thats one way to in no way address the racism you support and try to deflect.

Ironically I am just as quick to attack Trump. Neither deserve to be in office, both are racist.. Try supporting someone who isnt a racist piece of shit and maybe we wont have to worry about authoritarians stealing power.

@realcaseyrollins @Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@GreenFire I just blocked both of them do me a favor and drop me from the convo if you want to keep talking to them. I think they’re a waste of time their statements don’t match reality and I don’t want to give them a platform. Thanks

@mps262

Sure, and do you understand how "worst" and "one of worst" are entirely different things? You do understand quoting part of a senstence and representing it as the whole sentence is dishonest and manipulative?

@MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @MoiraEve @georgetakei You did say those words. I scrolled back up and those words appear verbatim in your preceding post. The "one of the" phrase does not make the huge difference that you're wanting us to believe that it does.

@jimvernon

Saying someone is the worst means no one else can be worse. Saying someone is one of the worst implies there are worse but he is among the top percentile... huge difference. In one case arguing "so what about x isnt he worse" is valid, but with "one of" such statements arent valid.

This they had to manipulate what i said for their own response to make sense. Yea it makes a huge difference.

@MoiraEve @georgetakei

@freemo @MoiraEve @georgetakei I doubt you'd actually think it's a huge difference if you found out that you weren't considered the worst person, just one of the worst people. Either way, you're still the worst, you just have company in the latter situation.

@jimvernon

Reality doesnt care about my comfort, and no I wouldnt "still be the worst" just with company. One of the worst doesnt imply you are equally as worst as the worst. Stop trying to twist everyones word you disagree with to be right, it doesnt help your case. Least of all with people like me who actually lean left and vote left (usually). But with the way the left has been acting this year im already forced to go third party thanks to the left acting like they are in this thread. I simply cant support this level of toxicity and childishness.
