Democrats are screamingly angry about Trump’s social media page posting – and then deleting – a video clip showing the Obamas as monkeys.
To be clear, posting the clip, which may have been an autoplay accidentally included in a screen capture of another video, was wrong. Comparing blacks to monkeys is wrong and racist. We are consistent on this. Trump’s White House wrongly defended it and then blamed a staffer. However, another point stood out amid the furor: Many liberals (and news outlets) are complete hypocrites when it comes to presidents and race.
After all, Joe Biden made many notoriously racist comments. If you voted for Biden, then you should probably put a sock in it now. That’s right. Democrats voted for and downplayed an arguable racist, Joe Biden, and the media downplayed it. In contrast, Trump, whose comments in Charlottesville were mischaracterized, championed the First Step Act, enjoys support from Latino and black male voters, named a Latino man his Secretary of State, and, for goodness sake, he even commuted the sentence of LARRY HOOVER (which we disagreed with, by the way). Hardly racist acts.
Joe Biden is a different story.

Let’s take a look down memory lane:
Calling Obama the 1st ‘Mainstream African-American’ Who Is Articulate & Clean
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Saying a Segregationist Called Him ‘Son’
James Eastland “referred to African Americans as an ‘inferior race’ and warned that racial integration would lead to ‘mongrelisation.'”
What did Biden say about him? “I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,” Biden said. “He never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son.’” He said he had a “civil” relationship with Eastland.
Cory Booker, a black senator, criticized Biden for “praising segregationists” and said “you don’t joke about calling black men ‘boys.'”
You Ain’t Black!
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden said during an interview with Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God.
Smearing Indian-Americans as working at Dunkin-Donuts & 7-Eleven
“You cannot go into a Dunkin’ Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent,” Biden said when talking to an Indian-American political activist on C-SPAN “about the growth of Delaware’s Indian-American population.”
Randomly asking a black journalist whether he’s a junkie
Biden was asked by a black journalist if he had taken a cognitive test.
“Come on, man! That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” Biden responded.
Implying all blacks think alike
In August 2020, Biden told a group of black and Hispanic journalists that “unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”
The Nikki Haley campaign once rounded up Biden’s race problems. The press release said:
- From 1971 to 1974, Biden’s legal residence had a deed barring ownership by African Americans.
- In 1974, Biden made an analogy of himself as a 29 year old in the Senate to being a “token black.”
- In 1975, Biden asked if “the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?”
- In 1977, Biden said that busing would cause his children to grow up in “a racial jungle.”
- In 1977, Biden voted against Black Justice Department nominees specifically over his opposition to busing.
- In 1977, Biden said he asked to join the Senate Judiciary Committee specifically to lead the charge against busing.
- In 1979, Biden voted to allow racially segregated private schools to keep their tax exempt status.
- In 1981, Biden said George Wallace was “right about some things.”
- In 1984, Biden used the word “boy” to refer to Jesse Jackson.
- In 1985, Biden made a favorable comparison between segregationist Senator John Stennis and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.
- In 1987, Biden “sought to appeal to white voters” by touting an award he received from George Wallace in 1973 where he praised Biden as “one of the outstanding young politicians in America.”
- During his 1988 campaign, Biden falsely claimed he was part of the civil rights movement, saying he “marched” in his “youth.”
- In his 2007 book, Promises To Keep, Biden admitted that, as a young person, he had “no real relationships with Black people.”
- In 2010, Biden delivered a 22-minute eulogy, the longest speech, at Senator Robert Byrd’s (D-WV) memorial service, calling the former KKK member a “friend,” “mentor,” and “guide.”
- In 2016, Biden praised segregationist Senator John Stennis as a “friend” and an “honorable” man.
- In 2019, Biden recalled the era when “he was able to get along with segregationist senators.”
- In 2019, Biden boasted that segregationist Senator James Eastland called him son, not boy.
- In 2019, Biden said the Obama administration went “into the hood” of Detroit to recruit minorities.
- In 2019, Biden claimed a major problem Black communities face is illiteracy, saying Black “parents can’t read or write themselves,” leaving Black attendees “shocked and frustrated.”
- In 2019, Biden said that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
- In 2020, Biden suggested some people were able to quarantine during Covid because “some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.”
Biden also used the N word twice during a 1985 hearing, although he was using the words of another person to question a nominee about the comments. Intent matters, but we will let you decide on this one. He repeated the phrase, “We already have a n—– mayor, we don’t need any more n—– big shots.”
