It’s Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023…but before we begin, in response to our Friday opening in which we suggested there hasn’t been a lynching in the U.S. since the murder of Michael Donald in 1981,\u00a0The Daily Gouge<\/em>‘s lynching expert, Rob Guy McKee, PhD, informed us Donald’s death was the last lynching of a Black man<\/em><\/span> by Whites<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 Contrary to our assertion, Dr. McKee pointed out there have been any number of domestic lynchings in the ensuing decades, including but not limited to\u00a0Austin, TX in 2007<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/span>, Philadelphia, PA in 2019<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Magna, UT in 2021<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But as contemporary Progressivism promotes the myth “people of color” cannot be racist, mob murders committed by Blacks and Hispanics cannot be termed lynchings, even when the victims are likewise Black or Hispanic.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We stand corrected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To learn more about modern-day lynchings, we highly recommend McKee’s book on the subject…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Toxic Racialist Obsessions of Joe Biden<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Joe Biden ran on \u201cunity,\u201d which is critical in a multiracial America. He vowed to heal the divisions supposedly sown by Donald Trump.<\/span> Instead, he is proving to be the most polarizing president in modern memory. Often his racialist rhetoric and condescension have proven demeaning to both blacks and whites.<\/span> In a volatile multiracial democracy that demands tolerance and restraint, a highly\u00a0unpopular Biden, for cheap political advantage, continually proves incendiary and reckless.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week Joe Biden snarked after watching a White House screening of\u00a0Till:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lynched for simply being black, nothing more. With white crowds, white families gathered to celebrate the spectacle, taking pictures of the bodies and mailing them as postcards.<\/span> Hard to believe, but that\u2019s what was done.\u00a0And some people still want to do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exactly\u00a0who\u00a0are<\/span><\/em> these \u201csome people\u201d? Who fits Biden\u2019s innuendos of contemporary \u201csome people\u201d who, he alleges in 2023, still wish, as \u201cwhite crowds, white families\u201d of the past, to mail celebratory postcards after they lynch black people?<\/span> The Ultra-MAGA villains of his recent Phantom of the Opera speech? Have his current targets\u00a0ever<\/em>\u00a0echoed anything like Biden\u2019s own racist past warning<\/em><\/span> that busing would force people to\u00a0\u201cgrow up in a racial jungle\u201d?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What current data might support Biden\u2019s absurd charges? Is Biden referring to federal interracial crime and hate crime statistics charting violent white propensities against blacks?<\/span> None exist<\/em><\/span>. In fact, they continually reveal that so-called whites are\u00a0underrepresented<\/em>\u00a0as perpetrators<\/em><\/span> in both categories, while overrepresented<\/em>\u00a0as victims<\/em><\/span>\u00a0in interracial crimes\u2014dramatically so<\/em><\/span> in the case of black-on-white violent crime.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In our sensationalist YouTube world, are we suffering an epidemic of Internet-fed, white-on-black incendiary crimes that might have prompted the president\u2019s demagogic accusations?<\/span> Not at all. Most of the most recent publicized interracial violence\u2014a woman in a gym fighting off a would-be rapist<\/a>,\u00a0a bicyclist doctor stabbed to death in an intersection as his attacker spewed racial hatred<\/a>,\u00a0a 26-year-old mother lethally shot in the back in front of her children in a parking lot over a minor argument<\/a>,\u00a0a young boy violently choked on a bus<\/a>,\u00a0a small girl on a bus beaten repeatedly by two teenage boys<\/a>\u2014have involved black perpetrators and apparent white victims. So, what contemporary evidence or widely publicized anecdotes prompt Biden\u2019s recent charges of \u201cwhite rage\u201d-fueled violence?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet simultaneously with his blanket and unsupported charges of racism, no president since Woodrow Wilson has offloaded more racialist verbiage than Joe Biden himself. In an eerie example of psychological projection, never has a president accused others of racism more, while freely revealing himself either to be a racist or non compos mentis, or both.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stranger still, Biden\u2019s latest accusation comes from a president who once eulogized the former racist, Exalted Cyclops, and segregationist Senator. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.)\u00a0as \u201cone of my mentors\u201d and lamented that \u201cthe Senate is a lesser place for his going.\u201d\u00a0That was no isolated fluke.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>Somehow Biden has transferred his own checkered history of racial disparagement onto the white working class. Fact checkers assure us that when Joe Biden libeled Trump supporters as \u201cchumps\u201d and \u201cdregs\u201d he really meant the Ku Klux Klan or white nationalists who gravitate to Trump.<\/span> But most took his blanket smears as they were intended. And they fit the larger patterns of his more recent \u201csemi-fascism\u201d smears, and indeed, the genre of tired leftwing demagoguery that earlier gave us Obama\u2019s \u201cclingers,\u201d Hillary Clinton\u2019s \u201cdeplorables\u201d and \u201cirredeemables,\u201d or the smelly who stink up Walmart in the Peter Strzok-Lisa Page joint text trove:\u00a0\u201cJust went to a Southern Virginia Walmart.<\/span> I could SMELL the Trump support.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In occasional opportunistic moments, Biden transforms into \u201col\u2019 Joe Biden from Scranton\u201d to accentuate his middle-class roots.<\/span> But he has a repugnant propensity for using racial terms of condescension and disparagement and for projecting his own unease onto a supposedly racist white middle class and poor even as he seeks to win support from the very minority communities he has so often crudely characterized.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the concrete result of this now common Bidenesque schizophrenia?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Reflect for a moment.<\/span> Consider the toxic plume that has polluted the skies over East Palestine, Ohio, a working-class small town that is 98 percent white<\/em><\/span>, with a median income of $26,000, sits amid the Pennsylvania borderland. That very region once rejected in its 2008 primary Barack Obama\u2014and in turn was blasted in stereotyped fashion by him: \u201cAnd it\u2019s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren\u2019t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ol\u2019 Joe Biden from Scranton resonates that same contempt for the convenient target of the white poor and lower middle class. Rather than send in FEMA on day one of the toxic release with tents, mobile kitchens, and supplies and medical personnel to care for the evacuated, the federal government waited two weeks and then acted only when even the liberal media was confused by Biden\u2019s deliberate neglect.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Amid the disaster, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, in his now tired boilerplate, was on record instead railing against supposed white hardhats who supposedly do not look like the communities in which they work. For a Biden or Buttigieg, the fish and animals dying from toxic air or water were insignificant artifacts, as were the complaints of burning lungs and allergic reactions to the black chemical cloud.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One wonders what would have been the immediate reaction of Biden and the federal government had a corporation decided to vent the contents of wrecked rail cars full of\u00a0vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate and then to\u00a0light up the escaping gas, birthing a toxic black plume over Martha\u2019s Vineyard or Malibu, as opposed to East Palestine or, say,\u00a0 South-Central L.A. or Ferguson, Missouri.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Biden would have sent legions of aid workers in to ensure social justice for the marginalized and performance-art reassurance to his donor class.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether Biden spouts racial bombast to curry favor with his Democratic base or to project onto others his own habitual racist put downs is not quite clear. But Biden\u2019s utter contempt<\/em><\/span> for white poor and lower middle classes, who are were deemed not worthy of the prompt federal attention customarily accorded to others in times of disaster, is self-evident<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Otherwise, Biden would have sent help immedia<\/span><\/strong>tely rather than smear \u201csome people\u201d as 21st-century lynchers.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Austin policy makers are directly responsible for the overall safety of their citizens & visitors. Looks like they failed to make the right decisions & continue to defund, destroy, & demoralize public safety. Austin was one of the safest cities, NOT anymore. @Austin_Police<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/j6OTTQE1ct<\/a><\/p>\n
