I'm flabbergasted to read Ethiopians are being exalted in voting for him, when in reality, Ethiopians are the ones to experience the most racism in DC and Virginia as most of them tend to be engaged within poorly paid job brackets.

Biden's history on race – years of troubling slurs, friendships and policies
His pattern of statements should enrage Blacks and their non-Black allies.
By Deroy Murdock | Fox News
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/deroy-m ... d-policies
Harris the 'safe pick,' but may not excite African American base.
Joe Biden’s selection of Sen. Kamala Harris, https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/kamala-harris D-Calif., as his running mate does nothing to erase his years of https://news.grabien.com/story-supercut ... ack-people anti-Black slurs, friendships and policies.
In recent weeks, the presumptive Democratic nominee https://www.foxnews.com/category/politi ... l-election thrice has said, essentially, Blacks are all the same.
On May 22, Biden https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/joe-biden told radio host Lenard “Charlamagne tha God” McKelvy:
Biden triggered an uproar. Even fellow Leftists complained that Biden sounded as if he took Black voters for granted and treated these citizens as his personal property.I tell ya, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.
Hawk Newsome, Greater New York chairman of Black Lives Matter, said:
.There is no place for a white man to define blackness https://www.wlfi.com/content/national/570715912.html in America
But Biden was just getting started.
From his Delaware basement on Aug. 6, Biden told Black and Hispanic journalists:
This comment detonated in Biden’s face. Many Blacks felt that Biden regarded them as tough to differentiate from each other as licorice sticks. Meanwhile, in Biden’s mind, Hispanics offer a Baskin-Robbins-like 31 flavors of traits and tendencies.…unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.
Later that day, Biden served a second scoop of this theme. He told the National Association of Latino Elected Officials that his administration would display
Biden then wandered off into the ethnic quicksand.the full diversity of the Latino communities.
he observed.Now what I mean full diversity, unlike the African American community and many other communities, you're from everywhere,
Being Hispanic is a many-splendored thing, Biden marveled. And, for the third time since May, Biden said, in so many words, If you’ve seen one Black, you’ve seen ’em all.They're from Europe, from the tip of South America, all the way to our border in Mexico, and the Caribbean. And different backgrounds, different ethnicities, but all Latinos.
After another volcanic eruption of outrage, Biden retreated that evening via Twitter: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 317433001/
Biden’s racial outbursts are nothing new. His checkerboard-like pattern of statements should enrage Blacks and their non-Black allies.Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith — not by identity, not on issues, not at all.
•https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... /39933417/Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as White kids,
Biden said Aug. 9, 2019, in Des Moines, Iowa. So, Biden sees White boys and girls as bright, talented and affluent and considers their non-White counterparts poor.
• Headlined “Biden hails segregationists in old Senate,” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/bide ... hings-done Toby Harnden’s June 18, 2019, Washington Examiner exposé detailed Biden’s early-career collusion with White-supremist Democrats.
a Mississippi Democrat, Biden recalled that day at a New York fundraiser.I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,
Eastland also called BlacksHe never called me boy, he always called me son.
Biden then spoke warmly of Georgia’s Democrat senator,an inferior race.
Talmadge slammed the U.S. Supreme Courts’ 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which desegregated government classrooms. Talmadge’s response?Herman Talmadge, one of the meanest guys I ever knew…
Talmadge also ridiculed Northern Democrats who battled Southern bigotry.There aren’t enough troops in the whole United States to make the White people of this state send their children to school with colored children.
It’s easy to pontificate on race relations when your biggest ethnic minority is Swedes.Biden said of Eastland, Talmadge and other Dixiecrats.Well guess what?
• How dumb did Biden consider black voters in Virginia? He told them on Aug. 14, 2012, that if Republicans won that year’s election,At least there was some civility. We got things done.
https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2 ... -in-chainsThey’re going to put y’all back in chains.
• Here’s how Biden described Obama to the New York Observer in February 2007:
• The Washington Examiner’s Alana Goodman deeply probed https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/poli ... lack-pride Biden’s troubling history on school busing. In 1975, Biden told National Public Radio thatI mean, you got the sorta first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and cleanand a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
busing doesn’t work.
Biden argued that school integration would deny Blacks
He elaborated:their own identity.
Calling busing “an asinine policy,” Biden introduced a September 1975 amendment that barred schools from using federal fundsI think the concept of busing … that we are going to integrate people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest, is a rejection of the whole movement of Black pride.
Biden’s pro-segregation amendment passed. So did another anti-integration measure that Biden supported. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story ... ing-120968 Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., a former Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, sponsored that amendment. Byrd recruited some 150 new Klansmen for his KKK chapter in Crab Orchard, W.Va., in the 1940s. He also notoriously spoke for 14 hours as Democrat bigots filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964.to assign teachers or students to schools … for reasons of race.
• Biden also said this about desegregation in 1977:
Biden’s comments are racist, but not as this word is shouted today. Biden’s views of Blacks avoid the hatred or homicide of Democrats George Wallace, Bull Connor or a Jim Crow lynch mob.Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden ... gle-quote/ with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.
Instead, Biden is a Left-wing Archie Bunker, the stereotype-spewing lead character of the brilliant 1970s comedy series “All in the Family.” Producer Norman Lear’s top-rated show was a high-water mark for ethnic humor, which was how Americans once cheerfully addressed and overcame racial differences, unlike today’s corrosive techniques of in-your-face confrontation and Maoist re-education. https://www.city-journal.org/seattle-in ... s-training
Like Archie Bunker, Biden is White, seems vaguely blue-collar and routinely says racially disturbing things, but without the legendary writers who made Bunker’s remarks hilarious. Anything funny that Biden says on race is strictly unintentional.
Biden is a Big Government liberal whose racism is limited to a condescending dismissal of Blacks as indistinguishable, dim and needy.
Would Archie Bunker shoot or hang a Black man? Never. Would he see Blacks from Brooklyn, Birmingham, Bermuda and Botswana as interchangeable? You bet!
And that describes Joe Biden, the man whom Democrats have picked as their standard-bearer for 1956 — make that 2020.

Liberals hate leftists. Hate them, hate them, hate them.
They don’t often admit it of course. Admitting you hate those to your left at least as much as you hate those to your right would cause a lot of cognitive dissonance for those who think of themselves as being on the left, and it would weaken their arguments considerably.
But they do. Liberals hate leftists, for a number of reasons.
Liberals hate leftists because there is a night-and-day difference between a capitalist, imperialist establishment and an ideology which wants to tear down that establishment and replace it with peace and socialism.
There’s more of a difference between true leftists and establishment liberals than there is between the far right and establishment liberals.
Liberals hate leftists because the psychological discomfort known as cognitive dissonance actually hurts, so those who provoke it can often be perceived as the cause of that pain.
Liberals hate leftists because they’ve spent their whole lives building and reinforcing a worldview which validates war, oligarchy and exploitation while thinking of themselves as defenders of equality and sanity, so when someone comes in promoting an ideology which highlights the discrepancy between those two points the cognitive dissonance which sets in makes them feel like the leftist just slapped them in the face.
Liberals hate leftists because while both purport to support the working class and disempowered groups, only one of them actually does so.
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason someone telling a bogus self-aggrandizing story at a party would hate somebody who caught them in one of their lies in front of everyone.
Liberals hate leftists because leftists are a constant reminder that liberals are not the thing they pretend to be.
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason you’d hate someone who keeps yelling out
at a theater: they disrupt a pleasant illusion the liberals are trying to enjoy about villains being fought by heroic protagonists.This is all fake! Those are actors!
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason a wife who is informed that her husband is cheating on her will often turn her anger upon the person who told her: they made it hard to hold onto the delusion that their setup is working out fine.
Liberals hate leftists because a worldview that is based on lies will always necessarily be opposed to a worldview that is based on truth.
Liberals hate leftists because your worldview feels like a part of who you are, so people who expose the hypocrisy, ineffectiveness, illegitimacy and untruthfulness of your worldview will often be perceived as if they are attacking you personally.
Liberals hate leftists because they are surrounded by screens telling them all day every day that their ideology is the only correct position, so people who come in pointing out the flaws in their ideology will be perceived not as individuals with whom they disagree, but as liars.
Liberals hate leftists because they’ve been trained by the mass media over the last few years to view any disagreement with the imperialist beltway consensus on foreign policy as Russian and therefore sinister.
Liberals hate leftists because change is scary and status quo bias is a thing.
Liberals hate leftists because if the leftists are right, then everyone who taught them everything they know in life is wrong.
Liberals hate leftists because it’s easier than tearing down your entire worldview and rebuilding it piece by piece from the perspective that everything you’ve been told about the world and the way it works is a lie.
Liberals hate leftists because, despite whatever stories they might believe about themselves, liberals are opposed to everything leftists stand for in every meaningful way.
The more real leftists are with themselves about this, the more effective they will be.
That's why I asked, should they then abstain instead?Somaliman wrote: ↑28 Sep 2020, 05:43Zmeselo wrote: ↑28 Sep 2020, 04:09Do you mean, Ethiopians should abstain from voting? You're surely, not advising them to vote for an Obama puppet (Biden).

This is not about voting against Biden because, as you claim, he was a puppet. Please leave all your old analogies behind - they're all a bunch of puppets - and Trump is the epitome of a such. You still seem to be believing that it was Trump who lifted sanctions on Eritrea! As I've said it earlier, Trump would hardly locate Eritrea on the world map.
Vote for Trump. Good for you! I live in Africa, in Kinshasa and Brazzaville - far from American bullshit.

Vote for Trump. Good for you! I live in Africa, in Kinshasa and Brazzaville - far from American bullshit.
The reason why, I believe Trump lifted the Eritrea sanctions is because:
1. He liked the idea, Eritrea cooperating with the UAE in the Yemen issue
2. John Bolton, who originally opposed Jendaye Frazer's shenanigans on Eritrea & her deep friendship with the weyane junta, ended up in his cabinet.
3. He wants to undo, every Obama decision; be it a local or international one.
I personally do not vote, never did & never will.

There’s more of a difference between true leftists and establishment liberals than there is between the far right and establishment liberals.
Liberals hate leftists because the psychological discomfort known as cognitive dissonance actually hurts, so those who provoke it can often be perceived as the cause of that pain.
Liberals hate leftists because they’ve spent their whole lives building and reinforcing a worldview which validates war, oligarchy and exploitation while thinking of themselves as defenders of equality and sanity, so when someone comes in promoting an ideology which highlights the discrepancy between those two points the cognitive dissonance which sets in makes them feel like the leftist just slapped them in the face.
Liberals hate leftists because while both purport to support the working class and disempowered groups, only one of them actually does so.
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason someone telling a bogus self-aggrandizing story at a party would hate somebody who caught them in one of their lies in front of everyone.
Liberals hate leftists because leftists are a constant reminder that liberals are not the thing they pretend to be.
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason you’d hate someone who keeps yelling out
at a theater: they disrupt a pleasant illusion the liberals are trying to enjoy about villains being fought by heroic protagonists.This is all fake! Those are actors!
Liberals hate leftists for the same reason a wife who is informed that her husband is cheating on her will often turn her anger upon the person who told her: they made it hard to hold onto the delusion that their setup is working out fine.
Liberals hate leftists because a worldview that is based on lies will always necessarily be opposed to a worldview that is based on truth.
Liberals hate leftists because your worldview feels like a part of who you are, so people who expose the hypocrisy, ineffectiveness, illegitimacy and untruthfulness of your worldview will often be perceived as if they are attacking you personally.
Liberals hate leftists because they are surrounded by screens telling them all day every day that their ideology is the only correct position, so people who come in pointing out the flaws in their ideology will be perceived not as individuals with whom they disagree, but as liars.
Liberals hate leftists because they’ve been trained by the mass media over the last few years to view any disagreement with the imperialist beltway consensus on foreign policy as Russian and therefore sinister.
Liberals hate leftists because change is scary and status quo bias is a thing.
Liberals hate leftists because if the leftists are right, then everyone who taught them everything they know in life is wrong.
Liberals hate leftists because it’s easier than tearing down your entire worldview and rebuilding it piece by piece from the perspective that everything you’ve been told about the world and the way it works is a lie.
Liberals hate leftists because, despite whatever stories they might believe about themselves, liberals are opposed to everything leftists stand for in every meaningful way.
The more real leftists are with themselves about this, the more effective they will be.
This is not about voting against Biden because, as you claim, he was a puppet. Please leave all your old analogies behind - they're all a bunch of puppets - and Trump is the epitome of a such. You still seem to be believing that it was Trump who lifted sanctions on Eritrea! As I've said it earlier, Trump would hardly locate Eritrea on the world map.
Vote for Trump. Good for you! I live in Africa, in Kinshasa and Brazzaville - far from American bullshit.
