Vice President Joe Biden used a Black History Month event at his official residence Monday night to decry the rich, both white and black, for stunting economic growth and suggested that “emancipation” is in order.
“A lot of wealthy white and black people aren't bad but they control 1 percent of the economy and this cannot stand,” Biden told about 100 guests, including past civil rights activists and NBC weatherman Al Roker.
“It's not fair because the business experts are saying that concentration of wealth is stunting growth. So let's do something that's worthy of emancipation,” said Biden, according to a press pool report of the event.
Then, explaining the impact of Civil War era emancipation, Biden concluded, “What happened is not only did we move toward freeing black Americans but also the conscience of white Americans.”
The White House has made income inequality an issue for the last two years of President Obama’s second term in office.
Class envy is strong with this one.
Communist
He’s trying to find that ‘niche’ that will make him a viable Dem candidate that stands out from HillDog.
“? NBC weatherman Al Roker.? I surprised there werent MORE Weathermen ...there

The man is advocating outright theft at the point of a gov’t gun.
Goose stepping assclown. Needs to be sent to prison.
You first Joe, set the example and emancipate YOUR millions. Oh, you mean OTHER peoples money. sorry, nevermind.
No, it cannot stand. So much better for that 1% of the economy to be controlled by politicians.
Joe Biden is such a complete idiot.
Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.
The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.
But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.
Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.
Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.
I don’t think Oprah’s going to be down for that. Or Fitty Cent or Floyd Mayweather, either. Or whomever is milking Michael Jackson’s estate.
I don’t know which I’m going to miss more in less than two years. Obama’s constant attacks on decent Americans or Rimshot Joe Biden’s wacky antics on Cap Pistol Hill.
I fully believe that the current admin, the AG, the HHS, etc,
are all trying to shape the laws and regulations along racial lines,
using other proxies to do so so as to have plausible deniability.
I fail to see why this is such a big deal.
And I'm all for emancipating my money from the grip of DC politicians.
That, and taking over entire sectors of the economy for the benefit of the ruling class.
Think he meant to say that the 1% control the economy. Either way, it amounts to the same class warfare BS. You will note that the more the Dems squawk on this, the worse the “inequity” gets. No accident, that.
LOL and Bwahahah! I didn’t notice that but...Balmy Joe Strikes Again.
If Karl Marx had a son.....
...or a lame dog.
Okay. If Karl Marx and a lame dog had a son.....
