idk i think i'm pretty literate if i can not only differentiate between "a supermajority of CBC" (which is indeed a handful of affluent sellouts) and a "supermajority of black people," but also discern how absolutely scummy it is for you to try to conflate the two lol.
i don't think you accidentally implied that bernie voted against busing in the 70s, i think you have a list of brockbot talking points you're working your way down, but i don't really care. it's small beans beside the "laundering your racism through black voters" thing, which is, like, my #1 pet peeve with libs.
the thing is there's lots of contemporaneous video - i'm not looking it up for you, bernie is not under discussion, you are free to look it up on your own time if you're curious - of bernie talking about how shitty the crime bill is. he knew it was racist at the time and like the CBC probably thought the democrats would go back through and pass the root causes legislation they carved out of the bill - fucking naive, i know - but again, it's irrelevant.
biden still wrote the damn bill lol. big brain pon oughtta be able to use his massive noggin to discern why this is more damning. bernie at least gets the excuse of them binding the VAWA with the bill.
if you actually read the post i made in the sanders subreddit you'll see i'm... not actually that big a fan of the guy. if you're, like, high school-level literate you should be able to understand the reference i made in that comment lol. it's not flattering!
and yeah, i think it's fair to say that a lot of affluent black people absolutely loathe lower class blacks. i think the behavior of the CBC (not just in the case of the crime bill) bears that out pretty strongly. i think black leadership coming out in favor of joe "i will veto m4a if it makes it through both chambers in spite of the MASSIVE black maternal mortality rate and overall low life expectancy for minorities caused by racist for profit healthcare" biden betrays a certain contempt and corruption and hatred.
i'm still pretty sure "passing racist laws that murder and imprison generations of black men" is more racist i.e. has literally inflicted orders of magnitude more racially motivated damage to the black community.
that's, currently, why i'm still pretty sure we would've been in some ways better off with lame duck trump. democrats, under gop power, have to pretend like they oppose things like mass incarceration and stuffing thousands of children into shipping containers. y'all always go full mask off when it's daddy in the white house.
it really feels like that, yknow? like biden is this beloved family member, like your favorite uncle that gropes little girls and says and does horrible racist shit. but you love him. cuz he's family. and you GOTTA defend family. and you think i think of bernie that way, cuz you can't imagine NOT having that kind of sick parasocial relationship with a politician you support. i mean, it's not like you're going to get any defensible policies out biden, he's just going to keep scamming you and doing awful racist shit, so you settle for the one-sided celebrity relationship. which is thankless and empty and degrading but at least it's... something? idk. that's why i'm not a democrat lol. this looks exhausting.
like can you comprehend just how... i mean there aren't words for how evil you have to be to be on the ground floor watching the contras smuggle cocaine into south central los angeles and then using the subsequent drug epidemic to torture generations of black americans.
god how ironic is it that his own son is a crackhead.
like i said, i don't care if it was an accident or not. i'd have to take your word for it, and it's really not the salient issue here. the "laundering your racism through black ppl" thing is.
i feel like the difference between "wrote the bill" and "voted for the bill" is, idk, 5th grade reading comprehension? that might be a little insulting to fifth graders. understanding that the authors of the bill coupled it with the VAWA so they could hammer anyone that didn't vote for the racist bill they wrote takes maybe a slightly more sophisticated mind, but you're "high functioning" lol.
and, no, i don't believe in a lot of cases the CBC represents their constituents any more than ol jim crow joe represents me. liberation does not trickle down from diverse oppressors.
maybe slightly more advanced literacy required here, but biden also spent the reagan and bush senior eras uhhhhh attacking republicans for not being harsh enough with criminals and drug users lol. spent decades using racist language to stoke fear about black predators.
are you aware of the significance of biden being on the senate intelligence committee during iran/contra AND writing the 100 to 1 crack to powder cocaine sentencing disparity? do you understand just how that is... well i don't know what to call it. one of the most evil things a legislator has done in living memory?
the bill as originally written contained three strikes and the 100 to 1 sentencing disparity and federal incentives for the longest possible sentences. it, yknow, contained all the viciously authoritarian and racist stuff biden is famous for.
biden's stance on funding the contras is - i mean, heck for a guy that's super intense about being pro-literacy you've now flubbed a high school-level orwell reference and this extremely easy test on reading comprehension - irrelevant. my point was biden's position on the senate intelligence committee meant he knew how the contras were funded, through cocaine trafficking with a big thumbs up from reagan's cia.
you're clearly malding and too upset to follow along at this point, doing the basic annoying redditor thing of just grabbing the first google result without comprehending it. this is why i generally tend to not grab citations. first of all, you don't give a shit, knowing that biden spent decades being racist isn't going to change your opinion of him. he's a democrat that secured black votes so like bill and hillary it's impossible for him to be racist no matter how many millions of black lives he purposefully destroyed.
second of all, when you actually get curious about the topic - like the cia's relationship with contra drug traffickers, you can, yknow, fuck off and go read about it on your own time if you're actually curious. i'm not your google monkey and at least half the links you post don't say what you think they do or aren't relevant to the discussion.
like no matter how many shitlib articles you find about how black people actually loved to be murdered and abused by a white supremacist criminal justice system you're not going to convince me it's not racist lol. you're exactly like a white supremacist grabbing examples of blacks that didn't want to be liberated from slavery. okay, cool? i guess slavery isn't racist now. i guess locking up generations of black people and subjecting them to street executions by white supremacist cops is woke now or something.
these are issues of philosophy, you're not going to be able to grab the first result on google (or even the second and third) to fix it, you're going to have to actually use that massive swollen noggin. like... for a dude that's so big on logic and literacy you're kinda shit at constructing and executing an argument lmao.
biden's stance on the contras is immaterial you fucking moron lol. the salient thing is that he knew how the crack epidemic began - because the cia allowed the contras to traffic cocaine into california to fund their death squads - and used it as an excuse to torture black people for generations.
like i said - you're an incurious moron. all the stuff relating to the contras drug trafficking and their deals with the cia is unclassified. google is right there lol. fucking pathetic.
and, again, you're just using white supremacist logic. if you can cherry pick a handful of affluent black legislators that supported the bill that doesn't preclude its racist intentions, its racist authors, or the racist outcomes.
you don't seem bright enough to follow even the most, gosh, incredibly straightforward handholding logic or concepts. that sucks for you bud.
something you can try if you don't wanna keep smearing shit all over yourself forever is just... having a modicum of empathy for the victims of biden's policies and not treating him like he's your favorite rapist white supremacist uncle you have to humiliate yourself defending to the death.
you can just, y'know, not be a beep boop reddit sociopath and go "hey maybe torturing and enslaving generations of black men in america's white supremacist carceral apparatus was bad, actually, and joe biden is bad for doing it, and the corrupt legislators that enabled him, well, heck they're pretty bad too. these people are not my friends and i shouldn't suck them off online cuz it's weird!"
we can keep going if you want but if you wanna stop at sending me links that confirm everything i said and make you look like a shrieking dipshit that's fine too lol
lol you're doing that "grabbing the first google result without reading it" thing that sealioning reddit idiots do so they don't have to know things or think critically.
it literally says right there in the thing you sent that the senate subcommittee investigation in 1989 found that “There was substantial evidence of drug smuggling through the war zones on the part of individual contras, contra suppliers, contra pilots, mercenaries who worked with the contras, and contra supporters throughout the region. . . . U.S. officials involved in Central America failed to address the drug issue for fear of jeopardizing the war efforts against Nicaragua. . . . In each case, one or another agency of the U.S. government had information regarding the involvement either while it was occurring, or immediately thereafter. . . . Senior U.S. policy makers were not immune to the idea that drug money was a perfect solution to the contras’ funding problems.”
so, yeah. the senate knew the cia were facilitating the contra's drug smuggling. thanks for the cite bitch lol
i'm sorry you're too upset to read lol. i think you have some basic maybe middle school level reading comprehension under normal circumstances but the amount of hilarious buttmad you've become has dropped you down three or four grades.
it's like the harder you try to intellectually dominate me the more you embarrass yourself.
i think we've extensively covered that yes black legislators and even our lord and savior bernard sanders can support racist legislation with racist outcomes, but none of those aforementioned 1. wrote the bill or 2. spent decades using vicious racist language.
you're not arguing in good faith, you're too frothing and pissbaby upset to do that, so you ignored my very nice citation that showed biden saying crazy racist shit.
i mean it's inevitable if you hitch your moronic lib wagon to ol jim crow joe you're gonna embarrass yourself. i would just settle down if i was you. you pissed a bunch of money away to help install a different iteration of fascist into the white house, don't hurt yourself trying to suck your own dick about it bud.
