        It's also just as clear that Biden is a racist, and he chose literally the one person who is responsible for nearly as many black people getting put in the slammer as he and his 94 crime bill was.

        Quite the erm, choice the two-party system has given y'all this election: The rapist racist incumbent or the rapist racist challenger who chose essentially a cop for his VP.

          And you are the resident expert on thinking with half a brain. OTOH, those with more than that understand that the left tars anyone and everyone who they don't like as being racist.

          • Pretty much the same thing.
            Only Democrats buy into the DNC/Media Putin Puppetmaster garbage.
            That's because democrats aren't susceptible to alternate facts like republicans obviously are. Trump knows. "I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave and wouldn't lose any support." He basically tells his supporters what a bunch of dummies he thinks they are, and turns out he was right.

              The 94 crime bill targeted federal crimes, which account for 10% of those incarcerated, not state crimes, so it had little to do with mass incarceration. Besides you pseudo law and order republicans love putting people in prisons. So, if that's what you believe Biden and Kamala represent, welcome aboard , they'll gladly accept your vote.

                Ah yes, they do, of course, because any that doesn't vote for him 'ain't black', we're told.

                I'm a libertarian, and I'm quite against putting people in prisons, genius.

                So no, Harris who imprisoned countless blacks and others for minor marijuana crimes, who threatened poor black parents (and laughed about it afterwards) with jail for 'truancy', and who tried to keep evidence from being tested that could release a black man from death row, and her racist rapist buddy Ole Joe will not be getting my vote.

                    They're gonna need all the damn votes they can get if they want any chance at winning, because right now it looks like a repeat of 2016......

                      Why wouldn't you doubt it for a second? From some (admittedly quick) research, it appears that the first recorded claim of this comes from about 150 years after the fact. The whole thing seems rather dubious, given that.

                      But I think Hypatia probably had Thomas jefferson in mind who is known to have had children with his slave Sally Hemmings.
                      That would have made more sense. But the thing is, we have records of claims of Jefferson having children with Hemmings back in the early 19th century, back when the people involved were still alive. The claims regarding West Ford, as noted, don't seem to surface until the mid-20th century.

                        Oh, i didn't mean I wouldn't doubt for a second that Ford was Washingtons, he may have been, I don't know, but I just meant that It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he had slave concubines and children with slaves.

                        Yeah, I know, there's not a whole lot of evidence. It's apparently, I believe, the claim of a descendent who attributes their knowledge of it to an oral history within their family. I'm not sure if there is any other evidence so I take that with a grain of salt so to speak. But! It wouldn't surprise me that it were true.

                          It's pretty likely Trump will win Missouri.

                          That doesn't say much about his chances nationwide.

                            Well, there are plenty of African Americans who agree with him... but let me guess... they ain't Black.
