Carol Swain Commentary: Americans Should Reject Joe Biden’s Race-Baiting Tactics

“You ain’t black if you don’t back me over Trump.” I cringed when Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, made this startling, demeaning statement about black Americans who dare think for themselves. His ugly, offensive remarks that I and other blacks who support President Trump are no longer black is a racist statement, period. It should be categorically rejected by all Americans.

I am black, and I assure you that I will not be voting for Joe Biden this fall. Biden represents the race-baiting politicians of the past who seek to frighten and bully racial and ethnic minorities using symbolism, tokenism, and racial tropes. Take away the fear tactics, and there might be a mass exodus of blacks from the Democratic Party. Biden’s racist remarks are sickening, and it’s an old story with Democrats. We’ve come to expect the same tired mantra that race-baiting Democrats use every year – that blacks “belong” to them.

Not only am I voting for Donald J. Trump, I am also doing everything in my power to get him reelected as the last hope for American society. Otherwise, Democrats will use the coronavirus to turn off the lights to our nation and strip us of our civil rights and liberties that remain. It is disgusting to watch Democrats such as Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer put progressive politics above the good of our nation, and that includes above the good of American minorities as well. Believe it.

Let the record reflect that I was born and raised in rural southern poverty. By the grace of God, doors opened that allowed me to become a tenured university professor at two top-tier universities: Princeton and Vanderbilt. I believe in America and the American Dream. The values and principles that guide you to success will never be told or shared if blacks wait on liberal Democrats to tell them the truth about what it takes to make it in America.

Democrats don't think blacks can think for themselves. This is why local Salisbury white democrats made the decision for blacks on what street to rename. They got zero input from the black community.
Now the truth is coming out. The Mayor, Glantz and the other white social justice warriors are out to cause divide and racial tension within Salisbury. Michele Gregory out and out lied to April Jackson on April's FB saying she *just* found out about the street renaming.

They picked that one because no one would care about Broad Street.

1:49 Right it's what a 2 block insignificant streets. Local black leaders want Lake St renamed which has black history behind it. The reason they didn't pick Lake was because it has development value behind it and they didn't want to dissuade potential developers because BLM is controversial. I read the decision was made by Glonz.

You seem to not understand how modern politics works. The locals you refer to are getting instructions through the network. Everything is controlled from the top down. Politics is no longer “local” as they used to say.

Politics were taken over (using the MSM) by globalists who exercise power over every small town via the Blue Lodge System.
