    Oh no....Bidens racist?

    1970s

    • Biden led the fight against desegregating schools.

    • As an anti-busing crusader, Biden promoted nearly a dozen pieces of legislation aimed at placing strict limits on federal agencies and the courts’ ability to mandate busing to achieve racial integration in schools.

    • As part of his crusade against the desegregation of schools, he was the only member of the Senate Judiciary Committee to block two Black appointees to the Department of Justice.

    • Biden opposed Roe v. Wade.

    • Biden defeated a 1977 amendment that would have removed all restrictions on federal funding of abortions.

    • Biden voted against abolishing the undemocratic, anachronistic Electoral College. A relic of slavery, the Electoral College undemocratically installed both Bush and Trump.

    1980s


    Biden voted for a conservative constitutional amendment (at the time the National Abortion Rights Action League called it “the most devastating attack yet on abortion rights”) that would allow individual states to overturn Roe v. Wade.
    
    Biden introduced the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1983/1984 and the 1984 Comprehensive Crime Control Act which has enabled law enforcement to engage in billions of dollars of “asset seizure”, mainly from poorer Americans.
    
    Biden crafted the “Biden Amendment” which barred US aid from being used for biomedical research related to abortions.
    
    Years later, Biden intimidated a woman when confronted about his lack of support for reproductive justice.
    
    Biden was one of the original architects of the disastrous War on Drugs.
    
    Biden built upon his history of racism, from making racist comments to defending segregationists and more segregationists and white supremacists.
    
    Biden lied about marching in the Civil Rights Movement.
    
    Biden voted for the landmark Reagan tax bill that slashed the top income tax rate from 70 percent to 50 percent and exempted many wealthy families from the estate tax on earned inheritances, a measure that cost the federal government $83 billion in annual revenue.
    
    For years, Biden advocated for cuts in social security. After voting for Reagan’s mammoth tax cut for the rich, Biden called for a freeze on federal spending and insisted on including social security in that freeze, even as the Reagan administration fought to protect the program from cuts.
    

    1990s


    As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Biden led an all white, all male committee grilling Anita Hill in excruciating detail, attempting to degrade her character, destroy her credibility, and accuse her of being a liar, an erotomaniac, and a fantasist. Refused to call corroborating witnesses.
    
    Biden sexually assaulted Tara Reade. Inappropriate sexual behavior did not start or end with Reade; Biden has a long history of groping, sniffing, and kissing women and young girls without consent. Years later he issued a non-apology where he tried to justify his acts.
    
    Biden voted to ban immigrants with HIV, locking up Haitian refugees in Guantanamo Bay.
    
    Biden cowrote the racist and disastrous 1994 Crime Bill. The crime bill was one of the key contributors to the problem of mass incarceration that we have today. Years later he bragged about writing the bill.
    
    Biden cowrote the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act, which in many ways laid the groundwork for the US Patriot Act, and stripped citizens of a wide range of fundamental civil liberties.
    
    Biden opposed equal rights for the LGBTQ community.
    
    Biden voted to expand deportations and indefinite detention for immigrants on several occasions.
    
    Long before Trump, Biden argued for the unprecedented step of sending military troops to the border.
    
    Biden sided with banks to overturn Glass-Steagall and deregulate the banking system, which more than any other factor facilitated the 2008 financial crisis. The crisis resulted in over 10 million Americans losing their homes and the African American community losing half their wealth.
    
    Biden was an architect for Plan Colombia, which internationalized the War on Drugs, resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians, the displacement of over a million people, and the destruction of large swaths of food crops.
    

    2000s


    Biden voted for the USA Patriot Act, which was an all-out assault on civil liberties.
    
    Biden voted for the disastrous Iraq war, a war that cost over 3 trillion dollars, killed over 1 million Iraqis, displaced over 3 million people and injured millions more. Years later, Biden said he would do it again.
    
    Biden was a key architect for the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, which made it more difficult for people to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and made it completely impossible to discharge student debt.
    
    Biden’s second largest source of contributions was credit card company MBNA, the company most ardently supporting the above bill. MBNA also gave Biden’s son Hunter a job.
    
    Biden voted to build border walls along the southwest border of the United States.

    Biden worked to undermine reproductive rights by trying to cut mandated coverage for contraception from the Affordable Care Act.

    Biden supported apartheid and ethnic cleaning in Palestine.
    
    Biden presented racist, chauvinist, reactionary war criminal John McCain with a Liberty Medal.
    
    Biden presented war criminal George Bush with a Liberty Medal.
    
    Biden said the CIA torture report was “not a black stain on this country” but rather a “badge of honor.”
    

    2020s

    Biden opposes Medicare For All.
    
    Biden opposes the legalization of marijuana.
    
    Biden opposes meaningful action on the climate crisis, including opposing the Green New Deal.

    Biden sides with Trump in backing a right-wing coup in Venezuela.
    
    Biden thinks we should increase funding for the police.

    Biden has said that he has zero sympathy for millennials.

    lol bad time to tangle the words "eager" and "next"

    Here's a fun test: have someone say "vinegar" 10x as fast as they can, then ask what's another name for black people. If they struggle to say something like "African American", they're probably racist.
