You ain't black, but you smarter than we thought

One of the foundational beliefs underpinning anti-black racism in America is the widely held notion that African-Americans aren't up to par, intellectually speaking. That's what came through loud and clear with Biden's claim the other day that those black folks who can't decide between Biden and Trump are not authentic black people.

At least he looks like he's enjoying himself when he's hanging with Donny J.

Jesse Jackson would know what happened to incarceration rates of black Americans after the Clinton-Biden crime bill of 1994 was passed into law. Here's an easy to understand graph.



What the 2020 campaign needs is a choice other than Biden or Trump. Ya, I know there's Dr. Jill Stein, but she's just a little too white and a little too egg-heady to capture the public imagination.

I spent some time this afternoon waxing nostalgic over Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition. Jackson came within a whisker of becoming the Dem candidate in '88. Alas, he was thirty years ahead of his time. As a historical footnote, Joe Biden was one of the candidates that Jackson beat that year.

We've seen twice in a row Mr. Democratic Socialist cave to the anti-socialist anti-democratic DNC. The logical thing for him to do, and what Jackson should have done in '88, is run as a third party candidate.

Alas, Bernie won't, and time has passed Jesse by. America needs the values of Jackson's Rainbow Coalition more than ever.

Biden's comments on The Breakfast Club, delivered with all the self-righteous presumption of a plantation master, gave Len McKelvey, aka "Charlamagne tha God," a national profile in non-black America.

How does "Charlamagne tha Prez" sound?
