Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Biden is saying that when Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd for nine minutes as the life drained out of him, the world, for once, was getting a good, close look at the diseased soul of America… a reflection of the kind of justice America delivers to Black Americans.
How can America unite again to do great things if we are led by people who believe America suffers from a great sickness of the soul, an original sin that dates back to her birth as a nation?
Consider.
After his long night of prayer for “the right verdict” to be pronounced — Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three counts — Joe Biden stepped before the White House cameras to tell us what it all meant.
George Floyd’s death, said Biden, “was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism… that is a stain on our nation’s soul — the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans.”
Astonishing. Biden is saying that when Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd for nine minutes as the life drained out of him, the world, for once, was getting a good, close look at the diseased soul of America.
What Chauvin was doing to Floyd, said the president of the United States, is a reflection of the kind of justice America delivers to Black Americans.
This is no aberration, Biden was saying. This is the routine reality.
Biden was introduced by Kamala Harris, who said much the same:
“America has a long history of systemic racism. Black Americans and Black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human.”
At Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield delivered what The Wall Street Journal called, “a recitation of America’s sins (that) could have come from China’s Global Times.”
Said Thomas-Greenfield:
“I have… seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles. … Racism is the problem of the racist. And it is the problem of the society that produces the racist.”
What our diplomat to the world is saying is that our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights are interwoven with white supremacy and that America, to this day, continues to breed racists.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at a Congressional Black Caucus event after the verdict, turned her eyes heavenward in gratitude:
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice….For being there to call out to your mom — how heartbreaking was that … And because of you … your name will always be synonymous with justice.”
Implication: Floyd died to redeem America of her original sin of racism.
All in all, quite a commentary on our leaders.
For, again, our president and vice president are saying that this people and country still suffer from a sickness of the soul that dates back to its formative days.
The 1960s radicals who vilified our country as “Amerika” were rightly called “anti-American.” Today, the difference between what they said about America and what our highest elected leaders are saying is hard to discern.
Our enemies have picked up on this. In Anchorage, after Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Beijing out for repression in Hong Kong and “genocide” in Xinjiang, China’s foreign minister was right back in his face.
You Americans should look to your own sins and clean up your house before lecturing the world on political morality, he said. Today, that Chinese foreign minister could cite Biden and Harris as his chief witnesses that America is a nation sick in its soul.
We hear our leaders’ attacks on America. Where is their defense?
What other nation has provided the same measures of personal and political freedoms and material blessings for 40 million Black people as has the United States?
If people of color are treated “as less than human” in America, as Harris says, why are so many people of color seeking desperately to get across our Southern border to build their future here?
What is the real truth about race in America that goes unmentioned in the mainstream media’s endless hunt for encounters between Black men and white cops?
The main perpetrators of violent crimes against Black Americans — are other Black Americans. Black men, ages 16 to 40, are 3% of the U.S. population but commit roughly a third of America’s violent crimes.
Defund police, restrict police, remove police and you will get more of what the police prevent — crimes, especially violent crimes, in your community.
When Biden and Harris spoke of “systemic racism” afflicting our society, they were not describing their enlightened selves. And it was Hillary Clinton who identified the people the leftist elites have in mind:
“You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. … The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. … Some of those folks… are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.”
What Clinton, Biden and Harris are all saying is that, though the moral sickness of racism pervades our society, we are the vaccinated ones.

Colonization from within.
I keep thinking when I read the shit that spews from all these assholes’ mouths that the over-the-top, hyperbolic, jumping the shark moment has finally arrived and they will be called out on it and disgraced. But it never really happens – except from people on the right. Matter of fact, it keeps getting more emotional and contrived. And that’s because a fucking neo-marxist mob is now running this country. And mobs want blood. How can a society return to anything morally and spiritually healthy from this now is beyond me.
George Floyd is now Jesus? America has replaced Jesus with a black drug addict?
That pretty much sums up where America is these days and it will much worse as the people stand back and invoke cowardice as opposed to the second amendment.
Drug, addict, petty criminal, and member of a gang who once put a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly. There are no words
Hell most of the people in the damn country are anti-American.
Don’t believe that media fueled lunacy. Most decent Americans are waiting for the insanity to end.
Waiting? Well Hell Is Freezing Over.
Cucks like Buchanan will never admit that these people are NOT American, so he has to name his shadows ridiculous things like “anti-American”.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have sent trainloads of black men to prison. This is all farce, a diversion. Let’s all see this for what it truly is. As long as they can keep us at each other’s throats they get to proceed with their plan for population reduction. We have got to disrupt the narrative.
Why does Da Ho still think she’s black?? Does she not have a mirror? Does she not understand genetics?
Why does shit come out of Dementia’s mouth instead of his asshole? Are there not doctors available to fix this?
When Pelosi “turned her eyes heavenward” why did God not strike her dead?? Did God not promise that when two or more Believers agree on a thing … that the thing will be accomplished?
Black on black crime is a rampant epidemic. Is there not some hero black dude somewhere in ‘Murica who can put a cap in that nigger Al Sharpton?? C’mon, man!!!
For every Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson out there, there are 100 more waiting their turn to become “the voice of black Americans”. Gov. Abrams from GA comes to mind, as does the BLM founder with the 4 mansions.
Like sportsball, race hustling is a pathway to becoming a multi-millionaire.
Every race has suffered slavery at one time or another during their history, but blacks are the only ones who can’t get over it, move on, and make something of themselves, with only a few exceptions.
Bit hard to “make something of themselves” when they’ve got the IQ of a potato,.
It’s led by the CCP – just like Canada.
Francis- I would not leave out the rest of world communism which is carefully guided by (da ____).China is not the only bastion of totalitarian evil on the planet/plane. Amerika is led by Israel as much as any of the other commie stronghold.
I’m not arguing. Our destruction has been a team effort on the other side.
I think this is the rhetoric of all the great dictators: Twisted truth and outright lies to inflame the Useless Idiot masses to support a power hungry ruthless Ruler. Then make some disfavored group an enemy and attribute barbaric crimes to them. He turns his supporters into raging mobs waving flags, beating drums, and saluting himself. Then he sends his police to arrest and jail some scape goats and choice opponents; and has the media silence all opposition voices and traitors to the government of the people. No one is safe when there is an Evil King.
If Joe Biden had a son, he’d want him to be just like Hunter Biden.
Oh crap … wait a minute. 😛
Now, that’s funny…
He sucks a mean corn dog…
The U.S. is such a terrible racist nation that millions are sneaking in…how many are sneaking into communist china?
a good interview with Dmitry Orlov… around the 14:45 point he describes the upcoming election and called Biden a candidate with a history of brain damage and a criminal background, which everyone knew about.
the whole world mocks us…
