Kristen Clarke, Biden's choice to head the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is a unabashed racist who promotes an idea advocated by Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam as well as some sectors of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, which is that blacks are genetically superior to whites (and presumably to light skin blacks as well as light skinned Asians like Japanese, Koreans and most Chinese) because they have more melanin in their skin. The more melanin you possess the darker the pigment of your skin is. She also has a history of being an anti-Semite.
While an undergrad at Harvard in the mid 1990s Clarke proclaimed in the student newspaper that blacks had greater "mental, physical and spiritual abilities" than whites based upon amount of melanin they have.
This is also the view of Yusra Khogali, a.k.a. Yusra K. Ali, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto , where the movement is said to have its largest international contingent, who notoriously declared:
And concludes with
That's the sort of thinking that Clarke espouses.
Further, she is a strong proponent of racial quotas for hiring and college admissions and was instrumental in efforts to prevent prosecution of members of the Black Panthers who stood armed with batons on at the entrance to polling places intimidating Philadelphia voters back in 2008.
Clarke also has a history of being an anti-Semite.
When she was the president of the Harvard Black Students Association, Clarke invited Wellesley College history professor and author Tony Martin, known for his extreme anti-Semitism (he's a major proponent of the conspiracy theory that Jews controlled the slave trade) and Holocaust denial, to speak on campus defending her decision saying that he is a "black intellectual who bases his information on indisputable fact."
She now claims that her defense as a parody and wouldn't invite him again, but her record since then gainsays this excuse. Just two years ago she stood in solidarity for and support of Tamika Mallory, who at the time was president of the Women’s March, after her close relationship with Louis Farrakhan and anti-Semitism were revealed. Mallory blames Jews for, in her words, "the horror of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, plantation slavery, Jim Crow, sharecropping."
Clarke has defiantly declared that she would do it again because she appears to believe that showing solidarity for a fellow "woman of color" is more important than take a stand against hate.
