Downvote all you want, you know I’m right.
He was born in 1942. He probably thinks white people are the world’s civilizing force, and the Palestinians are getting what they deserve for refusing to accept their white colonialist masters.
He probably thinks third-world countries “aren’t real countries”, but he has to pretend otherwise because of “political correctness”.
He probably thinks Israel isn’t bombing the Palestinians fast enough, and complains to Bibi that America could do it faster.
If he thought anything else, he would be unusual for his age.
You're creating a fantasy within your mind assuming what a person you never met and will never meet thinks about geopolitical issues. This is about as unhinged as people get.
He's an old white American. Assuming that he's racist should be the default assumption until and unless he demonstrates that he's not racist.
And he has not demonstrated that. He has gone out of his way to fund and supply a genocide of brown people, despite the electoral damage it's doing to his party.
Occam's fucking razor.
It doesn't matter what I think. He'll go down in history as a racist monster, and so will all of his defenders.
"I don't think you should call people racist just because they're committing genocide. You don't know them personally."
White people care more about a white person being called racist than they do about genocide.
Sounds like a hell of a lot of projection of your own bigotry.
Yeah yeah. "People who call out racism are the real racists." That's the standard response of white people.
Everytime someone calls a white person racist, they get accused of being racist against white people. It doesn't matter how clearly racist the white person is. (And that's why non-white people are afraid to call out racism.)
I've known so many racist old guys just like Biden. If you don't, you're either young or you're not American.
Also, I like how you assumed I'm not white.
