Said Donald Trump, yesterday in South Carolina, as he received the "Champion of Black America" award from the Black Conservative Federation. He was quoted in "Trump says 'the Black people' like him because he's been 'discriminated against' in the legal system/In a speech to a group of Black conservatives, he also said Black Americans "embraced" his mug shot more than anyone else" (NBC News).
The tone of voice may affect how you interpret that:

He also called Joe Biden a racist: "Joe Biden really has proven to be a very nasty and vicious racist. He's been a racist. Whether you like it or don't like it. I happen not to like it. Joe Biden really has proven to be a very nasty and vicious racist. He's been a racist. Whether you like it or don't like it. I happen not to like it.... Biden spent years palling around with notorious segregationist you know that." I don't know what that refers to — some Senator who got elected and therefore received the conventional collegiality of the Senate? If that's all it is, the missing name is Strom Thurmond. Other than that "palling around" reference, I'm just seeing the repeated blunt assertion that Joe Biden has been a racist.

He's okay so long as he doesn't say grab them by the pussy. If only men voted Trump would have won 50 states. If only women voted Biden would have won 50 states.
Everybody's pretty insensitive to racism-calling these days, as a result of everybody not caring what the hell it means now. It's been broadened to include positive things like analysis.
The racist in question is Robert Byrd, Democrat Party senator and KKK member who enjoyed the collegiality of the august body of senators who have proven to be traitors, bigots, liars, cheats, thieves, rapists and pedophiles, like Joe Biden.
If you don’t indict me, you ain’t black!
Joe Biden IS a racist. And Trump IS being targeted by the left, and if people DON'T see it, they are willfully blind. I hope what is happening to him, happens to ALL the deniers.
Trump being Trump. Think Archie Bunker with money and a decent Education. He's from Queens which produces more asshole per square foot than any other location in the US.
"And that's why the Black people like me."
That's going to be divisive line.
It's so unequivocal and personal. A typical White politician would say, "and that's why my policies are popular with African-Americans"
It is politics and Trump, so no surprise the language is further than what I would use. However, I do think people, regardless of skin color, recognize injustice and to the extent rich white Democrats fail to notice or care about what is happening, it doesn't speak well of them. Other men caught up in NY suspension of statute of limitations were black men.
Althouse missed out on quoting a particular Trump phrasing from this speech: "Unlike racist Joe Biden, I have spent my entire life working hand-in-hand with black Americans to create jobs, build buildings, invest in our communities, and expand opportunity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed..." (Link to video.)
Fred Trump and Donald Trump, together with Trump Management, Inc., were sued by the Department of Justice in 1973 for racial discrimination against Black tenants at their housing projects. The Trumps settled with the Justice Department, stipulating to a consent decree that required future monitoring of Trump rental practices and the Trumps' personal mandatory education on the Fair Housing Act.
You can find records of things Beiden did that would seem racist today, such as getting an award presented by George Wallace, so what Trump said was not a lie. Whatever happened I still think that Beiden’s “Good people on both sides” lie is worse than what Trump said.
“ BIDEN HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PRAISING SEGREGATIONIST AND RACIST OFFICIALS
Biden Bragged About Receiving An Award From Alabama's Segregationist Governor George Wallace (D), Even Saying The Democratic Party Needed A "Liberal" Version Of Him
In 1987, Biden "Sought To Appeal To White Voters" By Touting An Award He Received From George Wallace In 1973 In Which Wallace Praised Biden As "One Of The Outstanding Young Politicians In America." "During 1987 fundraising trips across the South for his unsuccessful 1988 presidential bid, he sought to appeal to white voters, telling audiences that he had received an award from Wallace in 1973 and that the segregationist had lauded him as 'one of the outstanding young politicians of America.'" (Alana Goodman, "Joe Biden Once Said Democrats Needed 'A Liberal George Wallace,'" The Washington Examiner, 2/7/19)
Biden Received The Award In Mobile, Alabama In January 1974 As Part Of The United States Jaycees' 36th Annual Awards Congress, Where Wallace Spoke To And Congratulated The Recipients. "These were among the men honored Saturday night by the United States Jaycees as America's Ten outstanding Young Men For 1974. The 10 were presented at the nationl Jaycees' 36th annual Awards Congress. … Gov. George C. Wallace told the Jaycees the nation has come to the point that 'an elitist group…from some large institution…go immediately into government as bureaucrats, who never in their lives worked a single day. … Names of those honors and the reason given by the Jaycees for their selection: Joseph R. Biden Jr., 31, U.S. Senator from Delaware." ("Jaycees Name Outstanding Men," The Anniston Star [Anniston, Alabama], 1/20/74)”
Biden spent years palling around with notorious segregationist you know that." I don't know what that refers to — some Senator who got elected and therefore received the conventional collegiality of the Senate?
Those two sentences should be separated by a paragraph.
Like this:
Biden spent years palling around with notorious segregationist you know that."
I don't know what that refers to — some Senator who got elected and therefore received the conventional collegiality of the Senate?
Also Robert Byrd from West Virginia. He was a member of the KKK and a Democrat.
He should just run commercials showing him doing that Biden imitation. Better than anything you'll ever see on SNL.
The "notorious racist" Senator was Robert Byrd.
We'll see if the black vote migrates over to Trump a bit. A five point swing would be huge. The displacement and prioritization if illegal immigrants in black communities is pissing them off as it should. I think they realize Dems won't need them once the illegal immigrants are given the right to vote. Also, inner city voter fraud in Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, Milwaukee etc...may mask and black migration to Trump, at least in the swing states. Votes in Chi, NYC, and LA don't matter.
We all see how woke hypocritical white Martha's Vineyard didn't have room for migrants in their "inclusive" community, but they expect black communities to give up schools, community centers etc. And the money being handed out to the illegal immigrants is insane. That's life changing money for some inner-city black families.
However, Democrats can count on bat-shit crazy college educated white women to stay firmly in their camp. Especially the ones who work in the "education" establishment. A coven of ding bats.
Trump's pimp hand is strong.
I'm just seeing the repeated blunt assertion that Joe Biden has been a racist. Adding "nasty and vicious" or "very nasty and vicious" explains nothing.
In other words, just the same as with candidate, president an president emeritus Trump, right?
Nobody here or elsewhere has ever explained how pedjt is racist. Never any examples. Just repeated statements that he is.
It's not too late commenters. Any examples?
John Henry
"We've come a long way together."
Indeed.
Strom Thurmond? Yeah a good example. Viruntly racist. Although he did seem to have a sincere change of heart in his later years.
Thurmond could actually be played as a story of redemption "I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.
John Henry
Trump has the imitation of Biden trying to leave a stage absolutely perfect. He should use it in a campaign commercial if Joe is still in the race in the fall. He should also mock Slow Joe's phony "run" out to the podium using tiny little Alzheimer steps. I don't know who Biden thinks he's fooling (Rich? Howard? Tsetse fly?)
I suspect our president emeritus had former kkk leader Robert Byrd in mind.
Byrd never repented. He had no qualms about using the n word in a CNN interview.
Clinton at Byrds funeral defended his kkk membership. "he had to join to get elected"
I could not find the clip on YouTube just now. It used to be there, I've posted it before. Did YouTube take it down or did I search incorrectly?
John Henry
Jesse Helms is the segragationist.

Clinton at Byrds funeral defended his kkk membership. "he had to join to get elected"
Maybe, but Byrd was one of the leaders of the state’s KKK organization and hd surely didn’t have to climb the leaserdhip ladder to run for office.
Who he was amiable with on the senate foreign committee like kerrys father did with walter george the other klan senator from georgia
He is a natural stand-up comedian. If Joe is so slow, Trump is a shoo in. We shall see. I'm thinking it's a 25% chance of the Democrat nominee being Gavin Newsom.
Isn’t it racist not to immediately recognize that Donald Trump is channeling Kamala Harris (“that little girl was me”)?
The imitation of Biden pointing off stage is great. People have noticed Biden fumbling his exit, but now they are all going to be watching for the pointing. When he does it, the right will post photos/videos, saying, "Trump was right!". If he doesn't do it, the left will try to post as if not being bewildered as he's walking off stage is some kind of victory. Which, for him, it is, but shouldn't be.
This feels like it has stickiness.
Between this and the sneakers (which all blacks love), Trump is close to locking up the black vote. If serves fried chicken, collard greens, and watermelon at his rallies he will lock it up.

It's only just begun. Black people have "owned" their neighborhoods forever. Immigrants will be shunned and assaulted. The roughest immigrants will rise and form gangs to fight back, creating more animosity.
South Central Los Angeles demographic: "US-born citizens make up 54.34% of the resident pool in Historic South-Central, while non-US-born citizens account for 13.39%. Additionally, 32.27% of the population is represented by non-citizens."
"And that's why the Black people like me."

If you don't vote for me,you ain't black?
Some of the greatest evils in our nation's history have come from corrupt systems that try to target and subjugate others to deny them their freedom and to deny them their rights.
Oliver: 'Please, sir, I want some more. '
"He's been a racist. Whether you like it or don't like it. I happen not to like it..."
Rhetorically this is excellent.
There is nothing this good coming out of Joe's teleprompter.

All KKK were/are Democrats.
Imagine how boring politics would be without Trump : )
I dont really care who is racist, or whether "Biden Palled around with segregationists".
Biden, the MSM, and the Democrats lie about Trump and call him Nazi, Racist, Putin lover, traitor, criminal, etc. etc. They've been doing it shamelessly 365/24/7 for years. Biden was in the meeting where they decided to spy on Trump's campaign, and start the hoax about Trump colluding with Russia. Biden is trying to put Trump in Jail.
So, if Trump slings some mud back, I don't care. Hopefully, after all this nonsense, we can get back to foreign policy, inflation, Gaza Genocide, massive illegal immigration, crime, etc.
Of course all the ridiculous pompous Guardians of civility wil be upset at Trump mocking Biden. "How vulgar" "How, beneath the dignity of an ex-POTUS".
These same clowns say nothing about the way Biden, the MSM, and the Democrats attack Trump.
So, take your civility and stuff it up your ass.
As I've said before, I'm not making predictions now because there's too much time open before voting. Either or both of the front runners could heart attack/stroke out. On that specific issue, Biden's got a foot in with his prior brain surgeries but both have taken the heart-problematic shots.
rcocean @ 10:16 - agree 100%. They're also attacking me simply because I'm white male. You don't need a name if you put someone in a 'basket'.
This is a statesmanlike statement from Trump. It will tend to deflect attention away from the fact that most of DA's going after him are Black.... Here in NYC, I rest comfortably knowing that execs who use the company car will do hard time and that real estate developers will not overstate the wealth of their holdings in bank loan applications. The DA's have worked diligently to reduce crime in such hot spots as the Bonwit Teller changing room. And thank God for Bragg for prosecuting reckless vigilantes who want to curb the exercise of free speech on our subways......Contra Trump's statement, I don't think he or his followers have fared well with Black DA's with significant Black numbers in the jury pool-- but isn't it pretty to think so.......I think NBA players and Hunter Biden should look to Strom Thrurmond to observe how to responsibly raise a child born out of wedlock.
"I'm just seeing the repeated blunt assertion that Joe Biden has been a racist. Adding "nasty and vicious" or "very nasty and vicious" explains nothing."
Wow! Repeated blunt assertions that someone is a racist, without any evidence! That's unprecedented! Someone call the New York Times, this has never, ever happened before! My God, stop the presses! Ann Althouse has witnessed an unsupported accusation of racism! In America!
As a former criminal defense attorney, let me tell you this:
The number one reason that people get criminally charged multiple times or violate probation, etc. is because THEY ARE KNUCKLEHEADS. Period. Every one of them. They create their own misfortune. It's not because the police/system/white man is out to get them. It's because they are knuckleheads. And yes, that is the technical term for them.
And that's exactly why Trump practically revels in doing arrogant stupid shit that gets him in trouble rather than showing a modicum of discipline.
Aside, is it a coincidence all three local prosecutors who got the go-ahead from Biden to prosecute Trump are all black?
This is Trump fighting back on Democrat turf.
"And that's why the Black people like me."
That's going to be divisive line.
It's so unequivocal and personal. A typical White politician would say, "and that's why my policies are popular with African-Americans."
Trump states an empathetic reason why "Black people like me."
Eventually, once ingratiated, Trump can close the deal by explaining the policy reasons why they should vote for him.
Ha! People of White (PoW). The actual white people are albino of diverse ethnicities, whose discrimination is celebrated with pride in parades, under banners, in social rhetoric, and many African societies.
Hey a lot of black people have had problems with the criminal justice system---as I am repeatedly told by the progressive liberal press. So the Dims--with their lawfare against the Bad Orange Man are helping one of their traditonal power bases to identify with Trump.
Oh the horror of unintended consequences. But that's why they call them the "Dims".
Pelosi and Schiff trivialized the impeachment process--and it may turn around and bite them in the backside. And so it goes amongst the Dims.
I like the strategic messaging of Because Blacks like... That's a winner, many very smart people say.
"Also Robert Byrd from West Virginia. He was a member of the KKK and a Democrat."
“All KKK were/are Democrats.”
Of course they were. The Dem party has been the racist party since its founding roughly 200 years ago. They were the slave owners from the beginning, while the Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery. Andrew Jackson, a southern Democrat, had federal troops forcibly march the 5 Civilized Tribes to OK, along the Trail of Tears, in order for his cronies to steal their prime farm land. Upon Lincoln becoming President, the Southern Dems seceded from the Union, to form the Confederacy, in order to maintain Black slavery. Meanwhile, many Northern Dems refused to support Lincoln and the Union in their fight against the Confederacy. After the Dems lost the Civil War, they imposed Jim Crow laws across the South, that openly treated Blacks as second class citizens. And the KKK, the Dems’ paramilitary wing, intimidated Blacks for much of a century all across the South, through lynching and other forms of violence. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was enacted with the votes of every Republican Senator, except Goldwater, many of the Northern Dems, and none of the Southern Dems. Biden was a long term Senator from DE, effectively a Border State, where the KKK long held sway.
As Dem apologists will constantly note, eventually much of the South went Republican, with the politicians following the electorate. What they won’t tell you, is that the Republicans required that they leave their racism behind. The difference between how Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd were treated by the two parties is instructive. Thurmond, in his younger days, a low level KKK member, switched to the Republican Party as a Senator. Ultimately, pushed by Dems yelling “racist” , he was run out of the Republican Party. On the other hand, Byrd was far from rank and file. He was earlier the KKK Grand Kleagle, for the state of WV, one of the highest KKK officers in the state. He stayed a Dem until his death in 2010, several years after Thurmond had been thrown out of the Republican Party, and in his last years was the President Pro Tem of the Senate, high in the line of succession to the Presidency. At his memorial services, a mere 14 years ago, most of the Senior Dems in, and from, the Senate showed up to laud him, including Clinton, from AK, and notably here, FJB from DE, stood up and lauded him.
@Bruce Hayden 12:08pm
I make this point over and over again because the lefties here think the Dems are as pure and white as a Klan meeting.
The biggest racists in American history have been democrats or socialists (Sanger).
But wait, the parties were 'switched.'
LOL : )
Everyone mentioned Robert Byrd already - but I don't see that anyone mentioned his eulogy of him, calling him a "mentor and friend."
Then there is the whole segregation and buses and turning schools into racial jungles.
I mean, even Kamala stated - or at least strongly implied - he was a racist, before doing a 180 degree turn at the change of joining him as VP. If we had a press, that turnaround would have made the campaign awkward.
Gusty Winds makes a great point:
"We all see how woke hypocritical white Martha's Vineyard didn't have room for migrants in their "inclusive" community...
Deported with virtuous indignation. Hope and Change.
Empathetic or em-pathetic appeal? Based on history, we can probably assume the former.

Exactly the type of person that votes for Biden! KNUCLEHEADS.
Trump makes omelette.
Bruce Hayden @12:08 Strom Thurmond left the Democrat Party in 1948 to run for president as a Dixiecrat. Later, he became a republican, which he remained for the rest of his long life. And the Democrat Party dominated the South until the last ten or twenty years- Alabama chose a republican majority legislature in 2014 for the first time since 1866. Georgia, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana were the same- did not have a republican majority a single time during the entire 20th century.
You can't go into a 7/11 unless you have an Indian accent.
Poor kids are just as smart as white kids.
If you don't vote for me, you ain't black!
Ultimately, pushed by Dems yelling “racist” , he was run out of the Republican Party.
What the hell are you talking about? Strom Thurmond remained a Republican (and a very powerful one) until his death.
Trump has the imitation of Biden trying to leave a stage absolutely perfect.

That's the Clinton clip I remembered defending kkk. And it's another Clinton lie. How many WV pols felt a need to not only join but to be so active in the kkk? There might have been a couple. But they were the rare exception.
Byrd didn't need to be kkk to get elected. He might have needed to walk carefully an not piss them off. But he didn't need to join and be so involved he rose to high position.
Ditto most other southern and northern pols in the past century.
The clip I was looking for and didn't find was Byrd on CNN in the 90s or 00s saying something like "[Name] is no better than a white [N word]"
That's Brandon's mentor and friend. That's wh Clinton was eulogizi g. That's whose name is on every federal project in WV.
Instead of pulling down statues of George Washington blm should be pulling Byrds name down.

Why is fanny in trouble?
Bill Clinton showed tha it is OK to lie about sex.

Interesting historical point, Thurmond was a virulent segregationist but hated the KKK which he viewed as "representing the most abominable type of lawlessness." In fact, when he was a judge and later governor, he called for a grand jury to take action against the KKK and as governor ensured that a mob that lynched a black man was prosecuted. There was never a lynching in SC after that prosecution. He received thanks from the NAACP and the ACLU for this action. Of course, he is best remembered for filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (This is in the NY Times obit.)
Biden did praise Thurmond btw but he was in the same party as that Grand Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops, Robert Byrd (who also filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
Found the robert Byrd clip that I had in mind. It is from 2000 (It says Byrd was 83 at the time)

"A vile racist being called a vile racist: How dare he?!!!" I used three exclamation points to emphasize the sarcastic nature of the statement. One or two just seemed not to push the joke enough, someone might think the statement is serious. Four or five would have been a bit much. Six or more indicates the statement is from a crazy person.
For Example:
"Joe Biden is the is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life!" *Nobody pays any attention with just one exclamation point.*
"Joe Biden is the is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life!!!!!" *Working way too hard to sell it with that many exclamation points.*
"Joe Biden is the is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life!!!!!! *Obviously a delusional statement.*
"How DARE Trump call Biden a RAAAAACIST!!!" *Three exclamation points, the very best level of overemphasis to demonstrate the statement is made sarcastically.*
Joe shouldn't have shown such obviously mock moral outrage at the confirmation hearing of Justice Thomas, where Biden sat at the same table as Leahy and Kennedy without any problem.
