Old comments from 1977 resurfaced, quoting Biden as saying that non-"orderly" racial integration policies would cause his children to "grow up in a racial jungle."

He then said: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

Since when did that matter with these fools?

Exactly.

They want to rename John Wayne Airport for something he said in 1971 ffs.

They're pulling down statues that have been standing for a 100 fucking years, so how is this any different?

Make the libs eat this... stuff it in their fucking faces.

Only when it affects them.

Here's how I like to think about it:

If we can get canceled, fired from our jobs (our family too), kicked out of our friend groups and schools, banned from entire businesses, and get harassed in our homes for stuff we said when we were barely teenagers, then Joe is responsible for stuff he said as an elected official.

Cancel culture works both ways.

Cancel culture works both ways.

But it really doesn't work both ways .. does it?

Cancel culture is not applied to leftards like Joe with the same frequency or intensity as it is applied to people on the center-right/right.

I want to make Cancel Culture apply to Marxists with a level of completeness and intensity that would make half even of our .win community shuffle nervously and say, well, let's not be hasty. So, yes, it does work both ways. They have idea force multiplication in the form of Silicon Valley and legacy media channels. But we live actual, productive lives, in the real world.

For a start, never hire a liberal at an organization for which you have hiring control, even if just your little team or department, ever again. Fire them if you already have them. Lie without the slightest remorse about your reasons. Fabricate a paper trail if you have to. Disregard their opinions, disregard their spoken words, disregard them as productive citizens, because they aren't. You already know that most of this generation of political extremists aren't coming back to live normal lives. They're too far gone.

Exactly. It's absolutely vile to wear blackface, unless you're a liberal like Northam or Trudeau, then it was just a "stupid college mistake" and swept under the rug. People would have died from apoplectic fits if Trump had photos surface of him wearing blackface, but Northam? Still governor, BLM isn't marching for his resignation, no one really even talked about it past a couple weeks.

Even if it doesn’t, we can at least expose the hypocrisy and make every person with an ounce of free thought go against cancel culture.

He seriously wasn't. That was back when common sense was a thing and everyone wasn't offended by everything.

Was thinking, this might be the one thing he said that made sense.

As someone who went through the whole bussing bullshit back in the 1970s I can confirm. We had a school right across the street from our house, but instead of attending that school, they bussed me and all of my friends an hour across town to attend a school in a black neighborhood. They took all the black kids from that area and bussed them to them to the school across the street from our house. What the fuck did this accomplish besides wasting countless time and money? I still went to school with the same kids, just at a different school, and it was the same with the black kids.

When I got into high school they finally started actually integrating, and it was a real shit show. They bussed us into the worst high school in the city and they also bussed in a bunch of black kids there who hated us. We had fights constantly and the police were on campus with regularity. It was there that I witnessed what remains the most vicious fight I've ever seen when two black girls went at it. They had to call an ambulance.

I guess he was right. I feel like I'm living in a racial jungle with tension so high everything is about to explode.

2008, things aren't perfect but people generally get along in normal situations. Super rayciss Americans decide to vote in a black president because he seems like a good guy.

8 years later race relations are completely wrecked. Identity politics invade every facet of our lives. Really makes you think.

The exact same year as Roy Moore's yearbook. It being from 1977 didn't stop the Left from ruining his campaign and destroying his life, so why should it save Joe?
