As far as I’m concerned, Cate Blanchett has earned the right to be in whatever the hell she wants.

And they’ll call her a “cop” who locked up Black people.

but then Kamala Harris will get the same treatment.

Even Biden knows and admitted that he fucked up.

I wish I could do a poll here but I’m going to ask this anyway.

LOL! Gotta love the omnipotent rage of the populist left.

How long should we wait? How many weeks/months do we watch writers on this site peddle populist grievance before it gets to be too much?

I agree with you that a majority of Black people chose Biden but I would disagree that it is a sign of forgiveness or that it settles this topic. This was done out of practicality.

You as a white male do not get to decide what is consensus among black people.

You have raised some more interesting points here, but it’s not enough to change my mind. I can conceive of no argument compelling enough to convince me that I am entitled as a white male to disregard the judgment of black people. Black people chose Joe Biden. Therefore I consider the matter settled.

You’re stuck with him as President.

You raise some interesting points, I’ll give you that, but as a white male I feel I’m not entitled to question the judgment of black people, who overwhelmingly selected Joe out of a diverse field of 2 dozen candidates.  Bernie Sanders voters are the white males who hold black people’s judgment in contempt, so if you…

So it looks like The Root has decided that the role it wants to play in political discussions going forward is Black Eeyore.

“Biden is giving us something we claim we wanted so now let’s talk about this thing we’ve already beaten into the ground.”

Not quite. All of Mr. Crockett’s writing is on the crime bill. The parts about what is happening now are copy-pasted from CNN. So at least 90% of his effort was hitting Biden for the crime bill.

Among the “Aye” votes for the 1994 bill: Kweisi Mfume, Julian Dixon, Cynthia McKinney, and William Jefferson.

White male Democrat here. Joe was overwhelmingly preferred by black voters, so it’s clear that black people have forgiven him for the Crime Bill. Joe has apologized and black people have accepted his apology, so I feel that settles the matter.

I guess the real question is whether you want to push Biden to be better, or punish him for his past. You’re stuck with him as President. You can go after Democrats for every terrible thing they have done, and every good thing they failed to achieve. And if you succeed in punishing them enough, your reward is…

OK. So keep talking about 30 year old legislation, if it makes you somehow perversely happy.  The rest of us adults will be over here, moving on.

If only such streamers/youtubers had a plataform that could reach their fans and adress such issues.
