Joe Biden has built his career by FIGHTING AGAINST EQUITY and EQUALITY
Joe Biden has built his career by FIGHTING AGAINST the EQUITY and EQUALITY for which Martin Luther King, Jr and many others died.
MLK Talks ‘New Phase’ Of Civil Rights Struggle| NBC News
Here is #Biden, not long after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., fighting using school desgregation to fight against integration.
Joe Biden:“I do not buy the concept, ‘We have suppressed the #BlackMan for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead. Thus, we must now give the black man a head start or hold the white man back, to even the race. I don’t buy that.”
How Joe Biden Became the Democrats’ Anti-Busing Crusader
Joe Biden didn’t want white kids integrated into predominantly black schools:
“This is the real problem with busing,” Mr. Biden went on. “You take people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education and opportunity, and you stunt their children’s intellectual growth by busing them to an inferior school, and you’re going to fill them with hatred.
And what about the black student from Wilmington’s east side? You send him to Alexis I. du Pont, bus him through Centerville every day, then send him back to the ghetto. How can he be encouraged to love his white brothers?”
How Joe Biden Became the Democrats’ Anti-Busing Crusader
Joe used the drug epidemic to target Blacks and poor people to serve longer sentences for trafficking by promoting proganda that crack is more lethal than cocaine. Blacks and poor people could afford crack for distribution and sell because it was less expensive than cocaine which Biden gave lesser sentencing. This occurred during the time the number privatized prisons began to increase. These were for-profit prisons. This first company to take over a prison was Core Civic in 1984. Civic Core took over a Shelby County, Tennessee prison.
Vox.com’s German Lopez shares Jamelle Bouie’s list at Slate.com:
“Comprehensive Control Act: This 1984 law, spearheaded by Biden and Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), expanded drug trafficking penalties and federal “civil asset forfeiture,” which allows police to seize and absorb someone’s property — whether cash, cars, guns, or something else — without proving the person is guilty of a crime. Under the federal Equitable Sharing program, local and state police get up to 80 percent of the value of what they seize as funds for their departments, which critics say creates a for-profit incentive to take people’s stuff.
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986: This law, sponsored and partly written by Biden, ratcheted up penalties for drug crimes. It also created a big sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine — even though both drugs are pharmacologically similar, the law made it so someone would need to possess 100 times the amount of powder cocaine to be eligible for the same mandatory minimum sentence for crack. Since crack is more commonly used by black Americans, this sentencing disparity helped fuel the disproportionate rates of imprisonment among black communities.
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988: This law, co-sponsored by Biden, strengthened prison sentences for drug possession, enhanced penalties for transporting drugs, and established the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which coordinates and leads federal anti-drug efforts.
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act: This 1994 law, partly written by Biden and signed by President Bill Clinton, imposed tougher sentences (including some mandatory minimums) and increased funding for prisons, fostering the explosive growth of the US prison population from the 1990s through the 2000s — a trend that’s only begun to reverse in the past few years. Since black Americans are disproportionately likely to be incarcerated, the law helped contribute to the mass incarceration of black Americans in particular. But the law also included all sorts of other measures, including the Violence Against Women Act that helped crack down on domestic violence and rape, a 10-year ban on assault weapons, funding for firearm background checks, and grant programs for local and state police.
The RAVE Act: This 2003 law built on the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 to impose civil penalties on businesses that knowingly lease, rent, use, or profit from a space where illicit drugs are being stored, manufactured, distributed, or used. The idea was to go after raves in which drugs are widely used. But the law has been widely criticized for making rave organizers so paranoid about anti-drug crackdowns that they stopped doing anything that would implicate them in drug use, including providing medical or educational services for drug users.”
Interesting that Joe and Strom Thurmond partnered to write the 1984 Comprehensive Control Act during the same time period that Core Civic took over a facility in Tennessee. The increase in the number of privatized coincided with Biden’s focus on creating crime bill’s. To sell his 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act #1994CrimeBill, Biden’s rhetoric was “Lock the S.O.B.’s Up” to further vilify the poor and other disenfranchised people to justify mass incarceration.

He now plays down his role overhauling crime laws with segregationist senators in the ’80s and ’90s. That portrayal today is at odds with his actions and rhetoric back then.
His magnum opus was his 1993 Predators Beyond the Pale Speech

– Joe Biden wrote the Clinton approved Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act:
Bill Clinton’s crime bill destroyed lives, and there’s no point denying it
When backwards pandering to latinos for votes, Biden’s low opinion of Black people hadn’t changed much:
“And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”
