Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
If Biden emerges, then he will have to answer why all these institutions where his party and people are predominant — the media, Hollywood, the academic community, public schools, big-city governments, the big foundations, the federal bureaucracy — are apparently shot through with systemic racism after decades of Democratic dominance.
Some polls now have Joe Biden running ahead of Donald Trump by 10 points and sweeping the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. This vindicates the strategy Biden’s advisers have adopted:
Confine Joe to his basement, no press conferences. Trot him out to recite carefully scripted messages for the cameras. Then lead him back to his stall.
This enables Biden to avoid the blazing questions that are dividing not only Democrats and Republicans but liberals and leftists. And most of these issues touch on the explosive subject of race.
Consider. California’s legislature just voted to put to a statewide ballot in November a return to the racial preferences that were banned as discriminatory in a statewide referendum, 25 years ago.
The proposal would reverse the 1995 constitutional amendment, approved by 55% of voters, which outlawed “preferential treatment” based on “race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.”
If the measure carries, California returns to a racial spoils system.
Race preferences are being pushed because they are needed to bring about greater representation of Blacks and Hispanics in the student bodies of elite schools of the state university system like UCLA and the University of California, Berkeley.
Asian students are today “overrepresented” in these prestigious schools, because of their superior test scores.
Where does Biden stand on anti-Asian discrimination?
Earlier this June, the California Assembly voted to establish a task force to make recommendations for reparations for slavery.
Now, California did not enter the Union until 1850, and slavery was outlawed in the state constitution, though several thousand slaves were brought there during the 1849 Gold Rush.
Where does Biden stand on reparations for slavery?
Many of the recent protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death have involved the desecration and destruction of monuments.
What does Biden think about tearing down statues of Christopher Columbus and Robert E. Lee? Where does Biden stand on destroying statues of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and Theodore Roosevelt?
What did Biden think of the removal of the statue of Caesar Rodney, Delaware statesman and slave owner, who, despite a grave illness, rode to Philadelphia to sign Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence and cast his lot with the American Revolution?
Understandably, Biden would prefer not having to choose between Caesar Rodney and BLM.
Black men are arrested and incarcerated more often than whites because of the systemic racism of law enforcement officials, we are told.
Does Biden believe white cops are congenital racists?
In the great cities where the killing of Black men is today all too common, the regimes that have ruled them for decades have been almost wholly Democratic.
Does Biden believe there is systemic racism in the ruling circles of all these Democratic-run cities?
Over the last month, there has been an explosion of shootings and killings. In Chicago, over Memorial Day, 84 people were shot, 24 mortally.
Last weekend in Chicago, 106 people were shot and 14 killed. New York City is experiencing the worst shooting violence in a quarter century.
Is there systemic racism in the police departments of our great cities? Again, who has been running those cities, if not Democrats?
Is there inequality in wealth between Black and white America because of systemic racism? If so, why did that inequality persist through two terms of our first Black president, with Biden as his VP?
Does Biden believe, with Elizabeth Warren, in wealth taxes on the rich and wealth transfers to close the Black-white wealth gap?
Is there systemic racism in American media?
Our dominant media institutions include The Washington Post, New York Times, ABC, CBS and NBC. All are controlled by liberals.
Is there systemic racism in our great universities and colleges? Yet, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and the rest of the Ivy League have long been run by an entrenched liberal elite.
Is our huge federal workforce permeated by racism?
Though African Americans are 13% of the U.S. population, they occupy 18% of all federal jobs.
Is there systemic racism in our public schools? Who controls the teachers unions? Who fills almost all of the teaching positions?
Is there systemic racism in California? If so, who is at fault? The governor, both senators, both houses of the legislature, all statewide offices, and 46 of 53 U.S. House seats in California are held by Democrats.
If Biden emerges, then he will have to answer why all these institutions where his party and people are predominant — the media, Hollywood, the academic community, public schools, big-city governments, the big foundations, the federal bureaucracy — are apparently shot through with systemic racism after decades of Democratic dominance.
And, more precisely, what he intends to do about it.
Perhaps it’s better to shelter in place in the basement.

The man is no longer in possession of his full faculties. And, he may go to jail for a precious few of his crimes. And he’s the “presumptive presidential nominee” of the totalitarian party. And the media asserts that he has a huge lead over Trump. Its like watching the Twilight Zone and Peewee’s Playhouse mixed together on acid, mushrooms and Bushmills mixed together. On a rollercoaster. Affixed to a huge, high speed caliope. When dizzy turns to anxiety turns to dread turns to sheer panic.
Joe will not go to jail. You can’t prosecute someone who is mentally incompetent because of dementia.
Where we’re headed, I believe that will prove to be untrue.
You can not assert your white privilege by asking such questions! I have always said the fake narrative of “white privilege” is inferior to The hidden “black advantage” and the California Bill to allow discrimination based on race, sex, etc is exactly what many so called racists said would happen decades ago when this was enacted. Once we forget race and are truly equal these same so called oppressed people will be out for vengeance upon people that had nothing to do With their ancestors injustice and will become the new majority, enacting the exact laws that repressed their ancestors. (They became the new majority due to welfare rules. Allowing baby mommas to get paid more up to the 5th kid. When you study welfare recipients you find 78% have the maximum number of kids for the maximum welfare and then it drops off to nothing. 78% have the max, 19% have one less or one kid more. 1% error rate.) Is it odd how those laws were deemed racist and were changed and retribution paid via enacting affirmative action laws, preferential treatment etc. yet, today these so called minorities (marxist) want to allow those same laws so they have the opportunity to become racist and oppressors?
They never wanted equality. They wanted power and money for nothing. They wanted revenge. These people despise walking around broke while whites enjoy their lives using their wealth. They never look to see how the wealthy or why the wealthy obtained assets. They worked theirs asses off for decades and exposed themselves to capitalistic risks while outmaneuvering a confiscatory government tax beast. They were smart. They were not lazy. They had the privilege of hard work, self reliance, personal responsibility. They took chances in small business that could have broke them and made them live their entire lives on welfare and somehow they made it and now enjoy their fruits of their hard earned money. These marxist want that life but never want to earn it. They are lazy, envious, racist bastards.
Many years ago smart people were saying get out of the USA while you can before they build tax, financial, and physical walls. What have we seen? These walls erected. These walls are to keep the wealth here long enough for these marxist to gain ultimate power to take it all, under the guise of reparations. And like historical clockwork once that runs out they will blame certain races or religion and out of anger comes slavery and genocide. Will the future history be so kind to The narrative of black racist when they never learned from history and commit the same sins? Maybe? Will they continue to have a “black advantage”? Of course the victors write the history. But no black culture in history has been as self deprecating and willing to fix their cultures mistakes as much as complicit virtue signaling whites chock full of learned self hatred.
Rather than seeing the white culture as one that positively evolved and fixed its own problems, the marxist use the race card to stoke retribution, hate, and revenge. They refuse to teach or learn history like the whites did, that is why we are where we are. The whites learned from their bad mistakes and history And strived for a better society, but the marxist refuse to. There are hundreds of fake hate crimes documented. Why? There are not enough racist, or hate crimes to fit the fake narrative of real and actual racism and discrimination because whites fixed this. These marxist are loving in the past and using a stale narrative just as those embers were nearly out.
When your own government is choosing sides, especially against the side that feeds them with tax revenues there is only one choice. Stop feeding the beast trying to kill you. We must all ban together and start a “Going Galt” day and make these virus shutdowns negative economic issues look like a drop of water in the ocean. Call it a year without whites contributing and make them beg for our return, on our terms. Terms that were already fair. But this time we will enact a stronger Republic now that we have seen the cracks in our founding documents. If not, there is a day coming where you WILL be forced to decide to love on hour knees or dying fighting on your feet. This choice will come to you no matter where you run or hide. It will find you.
PS
And if anyone finds this opinion racist, fuck you. If people can say Black lives matter or white silence is violence then we all have a right to opinions that include many facts and are not meant as racist nor written by someone that is not racist. Simply because you disagree with facts and want revenge by mob justice does not allow you to stop an opposing voice using the bait of racism. Saying white lives matter is or is not just as racist as saying black lives matter and if you disagree then you, yes you, are the fucking racist.
Going Galt
Biden is so hopelessly deficient in his mental capabilities he can’t even get through a brief campaign ad. In one circulating on YT and I presume other places he gaffs a simple message for his election. He says something like ” I’m asking for to consider voting for me”
How many takes did he have to do before they said fuk it, we have to go with the crap we’ve got because he is incapable of getting it right?
Biden’s friends in the press will ask him such hardball questions as, “Just how great was it being vice-president in the Obama administration?”
Who will be president if the people elect Biden? It will take a lot of fraud but it is possible, there is no shortage of stupid out there.
Just like we have President Adelson/Marcus/Singer/Kushner now, with Biden you’ll get Steyer/Simons/Soros/Bloomberg. The color of the flag will change, but the ship will keep going in the same direction, as it has for the last 100+ years.
Hiding in the basement is the strategy
I can’t wait until the first televised Trump-Biden debate kicks off. The moderators will be heavily biased. Despite being wired and fed answers, Senile Joe will screw it up. I’m hoping Senile Joe loses his temper at least once on TV for that “holy sh*t, did he really say that” moment when Trump contradicts him.
2 points–
there’s a story circulating where biden was doing an online appearance recently w/some media outfit & he started flubbing his lines & stated that 120 million people have died from the china flu instead of the 120,000 that is the “real” #–they cut away & came back w/an old speech of his b/c of technical problems–that’s just one of the ways that he will be protected by big media–
i didn’t click in but i saw a headline this am that a majority of american voters believe that biden & his family enriched themselves b/c of his being veep–
All this hate against white people. I guess it’s not Racist since its white people. Biden? I can’t wait for the debates, its should be a hoot. I’m watching TV and they keep putting pro BLM stuff and other hashtags black stuff on my screen. And I thought DISH already sucked.
i’m a lurker on moveon.org–
an email came in today for moveon people to vote as to whether biden should be endorsed officially–
i’m eligible to vote,should i vote 4 biden or abstain?
give me an up 4 biden,down 4 a no if i should vote not biden as the dem nominee —
