Apple Launches New Nationwide Racial Equity and Justice Initiative Projects

[Khaleesi Kendall]

Again, the answer is always to say "Well Trump was worse because he did this." We all know Trump has made racist statements, and I'm not defending them. Focus on Biden. The hypocrisy in your comment is exactly what I'm talking about. For one, Biden has made comments very recently that were racist. And to that point, making MULTIPLE racist comments while holding public office (Biden) in no way excuses them and I don't care how long ago they were and what he "learned" from them. And he didn't learn that much apparently because he's continued to make them. But I get it. There are no racists on the left. All of those racists have "grown" and the horrific statements and actions they took in the past don't matter because they learned from them.

Give me a break. Your statement exemplifies why in my opinion both parties need to be overhauled.

You’re saying worry about Biden when Trump is still in office? There’s no hypocrisy. Biden has made questionable comments but nowhere to the degree of blatant racism of Trump You can’t compare the two. This is also a man who mocks our veterans, mocked special needs and a man who bragged about sexual assault. Please tell meme anything remotely close that Biden has done or said in the past four years
. Oh wait. You can’t.

Eradicated would be a far better solution than overhauled.

See again, which is what I pointed out earlier, you just redirect back to Trump. Trump is going to be out of office in a matter of days so let's just focus here on Biden for the purpose of this conversation. When Biden is in office no one will be able to say "Well Trump is this or that!" That time is over so lets focus on the incoming administration.

The fact that you are calling what he said "questionable" proves exactly the point I was making. They weren't "questionable" comments, they were blatantly racist. Or, please explain to me how the following statements are questionable:

"You can't enter a 7-11 without having a slight Indian accent."

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

"Poor kids are just as bright as white kids" - Said in 2019 before catching himself and including a bunch of other demographics.

Those are just a couple of examples and if you want more I'll give them to you.

But you, and many other people that are on the left for some reason excuse this because "Well Trump is more racist!" Its beyond hypocritical and simply fits into the narrative that so many liberals want to exist in, which is "No one is racist on the left and the only racists that exist are on the right." People on the left who make racist comments are immediately forgiven because they have "learned" from their mistakes. Apparently no conservative ever grows or learns because they are all just racist scum. Its honestly comical. And I voted for Biden because I thought he is slightly less of a dumpster fire than Trump. But I'm absolutey not blind to the fact that he is equally as racist as many other people in this country.

But I'll wait for your response of "Well Trump is President and is a racist" because that seems to be your only answer to racism-light Joe Biden.

 

[redcaptrickster]

racism-light Joe Biden.

Ha, that's good.

However, he's better than Trump. Not much. mind you, but slightly better. Like most elections, we had a choice between two piles of ****, the only difference being the smell. Joe smells lightly less offensive, so I guess that's a good thing?

Hon, I went to several Black Lives Matter protests. Each one was peaceful. Cops were respected and even some joined in.

please stop lumping the actions of extremist with peaceful people. That’s like trying to say mlk wasn’t peaceful despite the fact the black panthers existed and were often more violent.

you trivialize a moment for racial equality and bringing awareness to police brutality and lack of accountability when you make asinine generalizations like that.

furthermore you’re comparing Black Lives Matter to republicans being annoyed their dude lost and wanting to kidnap government officials and harm them, including the Vice President and even killed and attacked cops despite quote blue lives Matter. Not even in the same league as anything that went on last year.

try again next time when you have a point that actually makes sense.

Hon, lots of Trump rallies are peaceful (albeit obnoxious). What’s your point? Lots of damage and destruction was caused by the BLM movement.
My point is not to discount peaceful protestors, it’s to shut down the notion that the BLM protests were anything but peaceful....as you and the previous posts suggest. Just YouTube to see the destruction.
Also, who do you think stormed the Capital? The radicals, the leaders of various conservative far-right groups. Who caused violence in the BLM protests? Far left extremists.

I’m not getting into a debate whether the causes are justified, but rather acknowledging that both movements have ugly, viscous sides.

Exactly, the problem is bad people, who exist on BOTH sides.

Also, BOTH sides deserve the benefit of this request.

I get it. You’re a trump supporter. Good for you. But just because he is out on a couple of days doesn’t mean we need to ignore his infamy. Sorry. Doesn’t work that way.

It’s one thing to criticize BOTH men for their actions. It’s another thing to absolve and ignore one mans actions because he is fired In a couple of days and focus on the new guy.

that’s the literal definition of hypocrisy. And seriously the 7-11 comment? From 15 years ago.

get real. I said stupid bs on MySpace in 2006 let alone yesterday on fb. If I’m still alive in 2036, I t get genuinely hope I’m not beholden to comments I made when I was 31.

more importantly lease stop with this left vs right mentality. This country is screwed because of that mentality and it’s sickening.

And i never denied there was bad on any side. Your point?

what I said was blm protests are mostly peaceful. There are extremist who of course want to be extra and do the most and cause issues.

trump rallies have also been peaceful in a word. They are also rallies where Covid spread since most are anti maskers, racist because they want to get rid of all immigrants basically, and even at the last ‘peaceful’ riot before the capitol siege, was a method for them to try and block an election result.
So you really can’t compare the two movements.

I live in Raleigh nc. I remember when downtown Raleigh was under attack.
Earlier in the day I had to wait 45 mins for thousands of people to March. I was annoyed but I understood.

Later that night I got off work and walked accidentally into the middle of a riot.

these weren’t the same people I saw hours ago. These were kids (mostly white) who were taking advantage of a movements message for their own gain. These weren’t the same people I later marched with. The same people where I had my body outlined in the road to represent the lives taken by cops. Where I laid in the ground the amount of time it took to kill George Floyd.

again BLM isn’t bad. It’s the opportunist who are and when you people realize the difference then we can have a discussion.

Hahaha, I'm far from a Trump supporter. I didn't vote for him in 2016 (refused to vote) and I didn't vote for him this past election and have said that I voted for Racism-Light (Biden). But you have once again proved my point.

I'm curious. Do you hold that same "People can't be held to comments they made years ago" for everyone? If that's the case then why did the left try to upend the election in 2016 with the comment that Trump made about women back in 2005? I'm talking about the "grab them by the *****" comment. It was a horrific thing to say, BUT, it was over a decade prior but they built an entire smear campaign around that comment and got the media personality that was with him black-balled. Why did those comments matter that happened so long ago? Shouldn't that have been ignored since we can't be beholden to things we said many years ago? Again, the hypocrisy is LAUGHABLE.

And you can ignore Biden's racist comments all you want, but his actions in public office speaks volumes. He voted for a Crime Bill that made prisons a for profit business and led to increased Black profiling that put 1000's of more black people in prison. And its a well known fact that our justice system is already biased against black people. Biden voted for a bill that he knew was going to unfairly hand down harsher sentences to black people and has said "he regrets doing so" but that doesn't take it away.

If that's not enough then you can look at his opposition to desegregated busing. I mean he literally voted in opposition to using federally mandated busing to racially integrated schools in the 1970s. Our President voted to keep busing segregated but I guess he's "learned" since then and all is forgiven.

Oh, and Biden said "Poor kids are just as bright as white kids" in 2019 so are we allowed to go back just a couple of years to look at racist comments? Or has he also "learned" since then and all is forgiven. Let me guess, that was a "questionable" comment and we shall not discuss it because even though his past 100% aligns with that type of racist comment, Trump is racist so we can all ignore Biden's racism. All I can give you is just one big .

 

[mdatwood]

The 1994 crime bill was a sprawling bill, and almost universally supported at the time. People quickly forget the context of what was going on in the late 80s/early 90s. Crime, particularly in cities, was bad and increasing primarily around the drug trade.

Biden on the 1994 Crime Bill - FactCheck.org

Former Vice President Joe Biden defended his support decades ago for a controversial crime bill, saying, "There’s another part of my long record that’s being grossly misrepresented: the 1994 crime bill." We'll go through Biden's points about what was in the bill and what he supported or opposed.

www.factcheck.org

The fact that Biden (and Clinton) can look back and see the ways it failed is the definition of maturity. Hopefully his administration will continue criminal justice reform, starting with getting rid of the death penalty for federal crimes.

 

[MacBH928]

I think I see what you’re saying. Correct!

Well this just shows you are a noble person...

 

[MacBH928]

Nobody is vilifying white people but the fact is that some white people refuse to acknowledge the advantage of being white in America. And not just with jobs. There are things white people never have to think about that people of color do.

no one should be held accountable because their great great great great grand dad owned a 100 slaves and snuck into the cabins to bang a field slave. But they need to acknowledge the fact that while we are supposed to be equal or country and society as a whole often doesn’t treat us as equal and understand why and work towards bettering that. We are still paying for the sins of our fathers. Once the baby boomers die out I feel the country will be a better place.

I don't know about that, this only means there is still racism issue in USA that needs to be fixed but favouring one group of people over the others won't fix it. I am sure of that.

Hindsight is always 20/20. And if the Crime Bill was the singular example in Biden's long political history of racist behavior then I could see it being viewed as a singular mistake. When you couple it with additional racist and discriminatory behavior and comments then you have to see those things as a larger picture of who he is.

You summed up what I was saying perfectly. Its honestly ridiculous that the left plays the moral police with the rest of the country and its completely laughable. I mean at this rate I'm surprise we aren't arresting violent criminals and digging into their voting history to see which party they voted for so we can say "See, all of these (pick your party) people are violent criminals!"

You can't reason with binary thinkers. They only see "this" and "not this," with absolutely no in-between. Binary thinking is a low-resolution view of the world, and trying to reason with people who think in extremes and absolutes is pointless. When a person feels compelled to choose a side, either based on social media trends or political correctness, it solves nothing, and we wind up with five pages of nonsense as we have here. @Khaleesi Kendall is just reading out of whatever playbook s/he prefers, and nothing is going to deter hir* from whatever self-imposed crusade tickles hir* ego.

It's a mistake only in hindsight. Otherwise you're saying the majority of the black caucus, black ministers, GOP and Democrats were all racists for passing that bill. He's admitted it had problems, but you can't look at that bill with only a 2020 lens. Even in my small town, I remember the crime issues then in the early to mid 90s.

Ok. Even Obama spoke at that funeral. The US can be a surprisingly forgiving country when people show contrition. Bryd spent a better part of his life trying to overcome his past. Was it legit? I didn't know him personally, so I can't say.

What's funny about all this is that I'm not even a Biden fan. Trump supporters though, like Trump, are the masters at false equivalence and whataboutism. It's not TDS so say that as recent as two weeks ago, Trump was coddling white supremacists and inciting them to violence. Sure, it only took 2 videos to denounce them this time after saying he loves them. I guess that's progress. Instead of claiming he wants to punch liberals, maybe tell the crowds at his rally to throw out the people wearing 6MWE enough or Camp Auschwitz gear?

What’s even more ridiculous is for someone who claims to not vote trump/republicans in the last two elections, you’re quick to group people as “left” and making sweeping excuses for trump in favor of trying to condemn Biden. Biden was far from my first choice (I’m a Pete girl) but he is nowhere near the level of trump. And as the poster above said, you’re comparing his “racist” political views to a mindset of today. The political and racial climate is very different than it was 20-40 years ago. I’m not going to behold a man to poor judgments made if he has since tried to make up for and do better in the present and future.

comparing a president talking about sexually assaulting women during the metoo era and of course his widely publicized affair with stormy which is why it was brought up in the first place to bidens potentially racist but more than likely just an old man putting his foot In his mouth is ridiculous and it proves the right still refuses to take accountability.
I never said Biden was without his flaws. But on the grand scale he is far better than Trump and that’s not up for debate.

Hahaha, I have also referred to the right several times. And my references to the left are because its the left to quickly condemn someone as racist because Trump has made racist comments. The fact that you want to already engage with me as a "Pro-Trumper" highlights exactly what I was talking about. "Disagree with anything we say or do and you are loyal to Trump and a racist." I'm sorry but that's a fantasy that you have created within your own party. I'm not a liberal and I'm not a conservative. I've voted Democratic many times (Obama twice and Biden most recetly) and I have never cast a ballot for Trump as I thought both he and Hillary were horrific choices. But you continue to spin your narrative of "We know best and anyone who disagrees is wrong and worships a dictator."

And you have literally no good answer for anything that I have said. What his views were 20-30 years ago are relevant when you've held public office for those 30 years. His views in all of his years in office helped shape where we are today with race relations. And you seem to continually dismiss his RECENT comments as "putting his foot in his mouth." Again, all is forgiven if you are on the left. Apparently people on the right don't put their foot in their mouths. They think clearly before each sentence and what comes out of their mouth is Gospel. But when smilin Joe makes another racist comment we can all just laugh it off and say "Whoops, old Joe slipped up but that's ok, he'll learn from it."

I can't continually go back and forth with someone who has absolutely zero to offer the conversation outside of "Well we deemed this was acceptable and this isn't." The fact that you can't see the hypocrisy in anything you are saying is typical to what I see out of most hard core liberals. Quick to judge outside of the party but all forgiving for anyone who is a card carrying member that happens to say anything remotely racist. I have no ill will towards you at all but I won't ever be able to align with someone who is so set in their way of thinking that they ignore the problems of their own political party that are right in their face screaming at them.

Again, you are just highlighting one thing. LIke I said, if that were a singular incident in his political career then I would agree with you. The reason the Crime Bill is brought up with Biden isn't simply because he voted for it. Its brought up because when you look at that plus the rest of his political history it casts pretty long shadow on who he really is.

I was responding to @LongWayHome and not you. If s/he wants to respond to me, that's great. You, I couldn't care less.

For the last several pages, people have responded to you, addressing what you've said. You've done none of that. You're just running whatever script you have in your head whenever you hear something you don't like. Your responses are nothing more than insinuating racism and lumping people into groups you hate just because you don't like what they say. So, if you want people to act like adults, start with yourself.

In fact, I'll make it easier on myself. I'm going to put you on ignore because I highly doubt anything you have to say from this point forward has any value whatsoever. Your posts are nothing more than noise.
