Last January, newly elected President Joe Biden pledged to fight racism and unify the nation. Instead, during his first year he’s imposed a harsh agenda of racism in everything from distributing pandemic-relief aid to allocating scarce medicines for COVID patients. Racial favoritism is affecting every way Americans are treated by this administration.
New guidance from Biden’s Food and Drug Administration instructs states to reserve monoclonal antibody drugs for patients with medical risk factors such as obesity and kidney disease. But here’s the catch: The FDA is also urging race and ethnicity to be considered risk factors, apart from medical condition. So a Black patient with no health problems automatically will be put ahead of a white patient in the same situation.
Biden’s Treasury Department is rolling out a $10 billion program to aid small-business owners with loans and grants. Businesses owned by minorities, women, non-English speakers and ex-cons go to the front of line.
Biden administration regulators use weasel words to obscure the truth about who will benefit from this State Small Business Credit Initiative. Regulators say “disadvantaged” groups, but that’s defined by race and ethnicity, not actual hardship.
Eligibility also includes anyone who has had “long-term residence in an environment isolated from the mainstream of American society.” Translation: ex-cons. White male business owners who obey the law and have never been incarcerated are out of luck.
It’s more of the same. Biden’s American Rescue Act, passed in March, is riddled with discrimination. That law divvied up taxpayer dollars to benefit minorities and shortchange white people in the name of equity. Minority farmers were offered no-strings loan forgiveness by Biden’s Agriculture Department, but white farmers were ineligible.
Biden’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund pushed minority and female restaurant owners to the front of the line for whopping giveaways — up to $10 million per business owner. Sorry, white men.
Federal judges have suspended these programs until white challengers get their day in court. But Biden persists, pandering to his political supporters. Equal rights be damned.
The infrastructure bill passed in November is chock-full of anti-white racism. It includes grants to install solar and wind technologies in depressed areas. But when contractors bid, minority-owned businesses will get selected first.
The bill also allocates money to improve urban traffic patterns. Contractors and subcontractors get priority only if they’re owned by minorities or women. White male business owners can take a hike.
So can Asians, in Biden’s view. On Dec. 13, Biden’s Justice Department urged the Supreme Court not to hear a challenge to Harvard University’s admissions policies, which challengers say deny admissions to Asians who have grades and test scores far higher than Black and white applicants.
The Trump Justice Department was committed to challenging these racial preferences, and the American public agrees. Nearly three-quarters of Americans oppose considering race and ethnicity in admissions decisions, and that includes 65% of Hispanics and 62% of Blacks, according to Pew Research. In November, California, the most left-wing and racially diverse state in the country, voted against reinstating affirmative action in state hiring and admissions to public universities.
Biden’s Education Department is dangling federal grants to encourage state education bureaucrats to adopt critical race theory and the factually challenged New York Times “1619 Project.”
The indoctrination and racism continue in the workplace. Is this what Americans want? Absolutely not. Three-quarters of Americans oppose using race to decide who’s hired and promoted, Pew found.
Biden is ignoring that. He’s cynically giving his political backers what they want and, in the process, ripping deep wounds into the nation.
When Black and Hispanic people are ushered to the front of the line for medical treatments, get first dibs on pandemic relief funds or get hired faster or admitted to college more easily, other people suffer. Lives and livelihoods are affected.
Americans want to be treated as individuals and to treat others that way.

“Last January, newly elected President Joe Biden pledged to fight racism and unify the nation.”
So did Obama—yet under the two of them it has become a deeper and more widespread problem than it ever was. Even the term itself—racism—has come to include anything and everything contrary to Democrat talking points. There is a push to hire more Blacks into positions in government—there is the insistence to teach critical race theory in schools—there is a movement to practice “equity medicine”—Black criminals are increasingly getting lighter and lighter sentences—Black protesters and rioters are increasingly protected and encouraged.
And all of that at the hands of Cracka Joe.
LET’S GO BRANDON
He reminds me of uncle Adolph promising the racially divided people of Germany that he would provide a National Socialist Reich that would last a thousand years. His use of race blaming and hatred of the Jews resembles the woke Democrat’s attacks on Anglo Saxon’s today. They never take responsibility for their own failures but create some imaginary white racial responsible straw man they can burn up in hate, to take the blame for their own warped race manipulating ideology and the failure that follows attempts to put it into action.
““The fault Dear Brutus…is not in our stars, But in ourselves…” We are inarguably our own problems; our problems receive automatic solutions if we change our ways. We hurt ourselves in our own doings.””
If we don’t change our ways back to what actually works, instead of what gives the crowd temporary emotional orgasms we will fall faster than Rome did to Atilla the Hun, who conquered a politically corrupt orgy obsessed Roman government, socially woke, obsessed with clinging to power, and dependent upon pleasure instead of courage to defend itself when the wolf came knocking.
And what’s worse, is even BLACKS THEMSELVES< get called racists all the time, now. JUST FOR BEING Conservative..
I have said many times that Joe Biden is a traitor to his race, you know the race that founded democracy in Greece and perfected it in the USA, but his last bloviation shows he has gone way beyond being a traitor to outright surrender of the Democratic principles he originally made his political bones on, now revealing only what is left of a skeleton hollow man that used to be able to think for himself. His handlers must be drugging him to sleep, only to have to listen to Marxist, woke propaganda while he earns his name Sleepy Joe, only to awake fully indoctrinated in the ideology of racial divide and conquer, and eager for the power and individual wealth that drives that ideology. He forgets and ignores COVID needed monoclonal anti-bodies, then turns into a mono-clone of socialist Bernie and OAC to deprive America of the very petroleum based energy it needs to excel. Never has so much social division and damage been done by one single President in so short a time. Carter is smiling big time to the fact he is no longer the number one Presidential failure of our time whose short tenure in office will become less than his own, when his own take him down in disgrace. Joe’ has become a one man show performance who can play many parts and change costumes as quickly as he changes his ideology and affiliated loyalty to the true American meaning of the word “Democracy”.

Joe Biden is a traitor to his country, IMO. It’s too bad he doesn’t choose a country that would be a better fit for him instead of trying to communize this one. I would suggest China or Russia.
Race is not a choice and it is not earned. However, I understand that you can find a lot of race loyalists in Black Lives Matter and the Ku Klux Klan.
He’s a tratior to the HUMAN RACE!
We Conservatives all know that the Democrats are evil race baiting communists!!!
These Dishonorable socialist Democrat Party’s phony anti-racist crusades have little or nothing to do with protecting the sensitivities of Black Americans and everything to do with the Democrats setting themselves up as their saviors. Their practice of patronizing groups cannot yield to the facts that the Democrat Party has a long history of racial discrimination. The Democrat Party’s cause is not defending the oppressed or the offended but about making themselves look wonderful with their latest destructive political Con.
Many Black Americans are getting educated and no longer are conned into believing that the Democrat Party’s plantation is for their benefit. So this treasonous democrat Party has turned to encouraging, supporting, protecting and secretly transporting multi-millions of illegal immigrants around our country, in the attempt to buy the illegal immigrants, illegal votes.
They will both have a “license to steal every future election like they did in the 2020 election with the passage of their voting rights bill”!!!! Majority of we, American voters, will revolt against it with them both their targets!!!!!! The Cheater Criminal Democrat Party Mob leadership, too “dumb and stupid to see that will happen”!!!!!
WILL WE?? Will we really revolt? OR JUST keep whining online?
Bozo you couldn’t unite two dogs in heat, much less an entire country who knows you are dishonest, immoral and demented. The only uniting you are accomplishing is bringing America as a whole to conclusion that you and your disciples of satan are falling down the rabbit hole. You will never take America with you!!!!!!!
I think he’s doing a good job of bringing unity to the country but he may not be too happy with the result. The latest poll shows only 33% support for Joe. Looks like the rest are unifying against him except for the 14% who don’t know if it’s day or night.
Well that 14% most likely have their heads up a hole but its not a rabbit hole.
He is no fool, even the healthy ones might become too sick to vote for him when the time comes so make sure they are healthy and feel obligated to vote for him.
Why would he care. DEMS KNOW the ‘dead’ always vote for them, even if they were lifelong republicans while alive..
No big surprise here. Afterall, it was the DemonRat party that primarily made up the KKK, and the Republican party founded upon the overthrow of slavery. Now they have some people believing that they actually care about the black community.
Somehow they’ve pulled off the biggest lie since Satan told Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
