One of the more absurd things President Biden has ever said on race issues is that Trump was the first racist president. “No sitting president has ever done this [referring to one of Trump’s antagonistic ‘China virus’ remarks] … Never, never, never. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We’ve had racists, and they’ve existed, they’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has.” Sorry, Joe, you’re a bit delusional. Maybe you forgot that through 1920, after the Democrats nominated a virulently racist candidate for president, James B. Cox, the party’s official platform was intentionally and overtly racist. We’ve had lots of racist presidents. The tough task isn’t finding one. It’s ranking who among them was the worst. We know that 10 of the first 12 presidents enslaved Black people, according to White House documents. All but John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams. The last slave-owning president, Ulysses S. Grant, freed his slave before the Civil War, after which he went on to defeat the Confederacy. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, and Zachary Taylor all owned slaves.

Alright… jeez… I agree with you. He WAS a dickhead. I’m gonna post more, don’t worry.

Yeah he helped defeat him

Winston Churchill Churchill is hailed by many Westerners as one of World War II’s heroes. He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom between 1940 and 1945. During that time, he contributed to the defeat of the Nazis and Hitler, which is certainly a noble feat. However, we shouldn’t let him off the hook for his blatant racism and white supremacist beliefs, which drove many of his policy decisions. There were many instances when he made extremely bigoted comments. On one occasion, he remarked that he despised people with “slit eyes and pig tails.” On another, he claimed that people from India are “the beastliest people in the world next to the Germans.” He also expressed racist sentiment toward black people, stating that he “did not really think that black people were as capable or as efficient as white people.”
