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

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.
