Kristen Clarke, Joe Biden's nominee for assistant attorney general of the United States, once promoted racist pseudoscientific quackery, arguing that the human brain was structured in a way that makes Black people superior to white people, and that "human mental processes" in the brain have chemicals that imbue one race with "superior physical and mental abilities" and "spiritual abilities."
Rather than owning up to a youthful relationship with radicalism, Clarke, who made these comments in the Harvard Crimson as a 19 year old, claims that her racist diatribe was a merely a parody mocking the controversial book, "The Bell Curve." "What I was seeking to do was to hold up a mirror," she says, "Put one racist theory alongside another."
Purely by chance, Clarke also happened to invite a Holocaust-denying fraud named Anthony Martin -- then a professor at Wellesley College whose assigned primary textbook was called "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," which blamed Jews for the slave trade, and who wrote "The Jewish Onslaught," published by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan -- to speak at Harvard. Around the same time Clarke was writing unrecognizable satire about Black supremacy, she was calling Martin an "intelligent, well-versed Black intellectual who bases his information on indisputable fact." Weird that.
Clarke's contention that she was penning Swiftian letters on race is about as plausible as her assertion today in front of the Senate that her Newsweek op-ed, "I Prosecuted Police Killings. Defund the Police -- But Be Strategic," wasn't about "defunding the police." Clarke said that "the impetus for writing this op-ed was to make clear that I do not support defunding the police." In the piece, Clarke literally defines what "defund the police" means, and then offers her ideas about redistributing funds. Maybe that, too, was satire.
Clarke now says, "Let me be clear, I denounce anti-Semitism wherever and whenever it shows up." Which would mean a lot more if she hadn't signed a letter -- not in 1999 but in 2019 -- supporting Farrakhanite Women's March co-founder Tamika Mallory, who according to Tablet, "asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people -- and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade." Mallory sounds a lot like Martin.
Indeed, there is not a single shred of contemporaneous evidence that her letter was satire. Quite the opposite. Subsequent pieces in the Crimson specifically point out that Clarke refused to concede that she wasn't serious. The Harvard Crimson staff, in fact, demanded a retraction and noted that it had "searched in vain for a hint of irony in Clarke's letter." In another response, a columnist argued that "Clarke refuses to explicitly deny the theories" and accused her of "disseminating racist theories."
Now, all of us believe stupid things when we're young -- though perhaps not racial-science-level stupid. It needs mentioning, though, that we live in a skewed world where a woman can be hounded out of her job at Teen Vogue for making jokes when she was 17, where The New York Times believes it's newsworthy to track down the prom date of Josh Hawley for comment, and where Supreme Court nominees are attacked for jokes they made in their high school yearbooks, but somehow pointing out that the person put in charge of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division once spouted racist rhetoric, and now supports an anti-Semite, is beyond the pale.
If Donald Trump, or any Republican, had picked a nominee who had once promoted a Holocaust-denying white identitarian to an assistant AG position there would -- rightly -- be a media meltdown. Clarke has every right to live free and work where she can, but she has no God-given right to hold a position of power over citizens. With her history, she shouldn't.
Still shocked at the UN Ambassador and her hatred of America being front and center of this Administration.
Kristen Clarke Is Unfit to Be in America.
Looks like Joe is reaching down into the identity politics racist cesspool for his nominees
Lots of people like that...unfit to be American.
Joe isn’t reaching for anything other than the Geritol.
His Handlers though... This pick has Susan Rice’s stink all over it.
There Is Absolutely No Evidence That Kristen Clarke’s Racist Letter Was Satire

April 15, 2021Blacks Seek An End to Abuse
To The Editors
October 28, 1994
In response to those who defend The Bell Curve (”Defending The Bell Curve,” Opinion, Oct. 24, 1994), please use the following theories and observations to assist you in your search for truth regarding the genetic differences between Blacks and whites.
One: Dr. Richard King reveals that at the core of the human brain is the “locus coeruleus” which is a structure that is Black because it contains large amounts of (neuro) melanin which is essential for its operation.
Two: Black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than whites.
Three: Carol Barnes notes that human mental processes are controlled by melanin—that same chemical which gives Blacks their superior physical and mental abilities.
Four: Some scientists have revealed that most whites are unable to produce melanin because their pineal glands are often calcification or non-functioning. Pineal calcification rates with Africans are five to 15 percent, Asians 15 to 25 percent and Europeans 60 to 80 percent. This is the chemical basis for the cultural differences between Blacks and whites.
Five: Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities—something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards.

Not to mention the jackazz he’s nominated to head the ATF.
That SOB belongs in prison.
Joe Biden is unfit to be in government. Hello.
“She is the best Joe can find.”
It’s funny...
President Trump had very few people he could choose from that were trustworthy and willing to do the right thing. But, there are so many bent, fruit-loopy, perverted democrats out there...SloJoe has more than enough to choose from.
Hey all are unfit to be in government.
Pedo joe is checking boxes. Appropriate nominees? Qualified nominess? Pffffttttt. As long as it checks a “bipoc” box or a glbtqrspxyz box, good to go.
“Unfit to be in government” pretty much describes the entire Biden regime and most of Congress.
She accept the cannot reality; thus she makes up a false theory.
Joe can't find his ass using both hands. As it is with everything else, This is Joe's Controllers' doing. Americans already don't like what is happening. Sooner or later Biden's Controllers will deal with the Republican Party Traitors that aided and abetted in the Coup. And Joe's Controllers will focus on the fools that helped them gain Power. It will be a beautiful sight. Dead useful idiots everywhere. [Check history and see what Stalin did to Trotskyites] It is the Communists way.
Stopped reading right there.
Never EVER accept the Left's 'style sheet' garbage. Either capitalize BOTH 'black' and 'white' or NEITHER.
But perhaps this is a long term leftist strategy: first to take down laws and customs promoting racial discrimination; second to promote discontent among minorities; third to use angry minorities as a club against the white population and the country in general. Liberals' promotion of civil rights in the 1960s won the black and Hispanic communities to their side.
With Haiti being the prime example of such a society run by a people with "superior physical and mental abilities" and "spiritual abilities."
