Talk about being out to lunch. I keep hoping I’ll wake up from this nightmare, but no such luck.

Demoncraps are the party of the Klan, slavery, and Jim Crow laws. Now, black college educators say the Republican party is the party of White Supremacy. Here is the post I did.

Biden: “I had lunch with Strom Thurmond and Jim Eastman once. We discussed civil rights and I found I really differed from them. They said that they simply wanted to allow people freedom of association, which meant that they wanted to be able to live apart from blacks. I told them that that was the wrong approach. The right approach is kill them in the womb. As many as possible! They acted as if this simple solution was horrifying. But they were the racists, not me. I have always been for a woman’s right to choose and support the right of black women to abort all their children, uhhh, if they want.”

Biden sponsored an amendment against school busing, which was a big issue in Delaware, and unpopular everywhere. Delaware was a slave state and he admittedly got along well with open segregationists. I don’t view it as a negative about Biden tbh.
