    If anyone tries to bring up the "Biden is a good person" argument, remind them that he blatantly lied about protesting apartheid and getting arrested in South Africa for trying to see Nelson Mandela in prison as recently as 2020, in an obvious foul and racist attempt to gain votes from POC. He said that he got arrested in the streets of Soweto for trying to visit Robben Island, which was the prison Mandela was held in. One problem: Soweto and Robben island are over 1600km (1000 miles) away, so such a situation was impossible and would never happen. Biden quickly had to retract his statement as even the lib media saw though it. No "good person" (which Biden is obviously not) would ever tell such a lie in an extremely cynical attempt to gain votes from marginalised people.

      Nor would any good person claim to be best friends with Strom Thurmond

        Had to Google who that was, yikes...

        the Wikipedia summary

        James Strom Thurmond Sr. was an American military officer, attorney, judge and politician who served for 48 years as a United States Senator from South Carolina. He ran for president in 1948 as the Dixiecrat candidate on a states' rights platform supporting racial segregation.

          He had a black child that he abandoned because she was black. He was know as the biggest racist in the senate. That’s quite a tall order.

            So fucking cold blooded. Like you made your child, Strom, you don't get to decide she's not up to "your standards" after you fucking helped create her. Jesus fucking Christ, every time I learn something new about these fuckers (and I know a fair bit already) I'm still flabbergasted. I really should learn to be less surprised.

              From what I remember, he made infrequent contact with her and her mother and secretly paid her tuition. Still doesn't change the fact that he deprived her of an actual father and was actively trying to make things worse for people like her, mind you.

                jesus. like how the Kennedys lobotomized their less than daughter, strom kept away from his kid for political purposes.

                if it were basic racism it'd be simple. these people will take the shape of whatever environment they're poured in.
