Alveda King accuses Biden of ‘race baiting’

[SugarDaddy1]

Alveda King, niece of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, said this weekend President Joe Biden is stoking racial tensions by opposing voter ID laws.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Biden warned of “a true attack on our democracy, from the Jan. 6 insurrection to the onslaught of Republican anti-voting laws in a number of states,” referring to state laws requiring voter ID or barring mass mailing of absentee ballots.

Voter ID is necessary “because we tell somebody they don’t need an ID, they don’t count,” Alveda King told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “They may as well just mark an ‘X’ on a ballot. So we need the ID and sensible voting.”

What “Biden is doing [is] stirring the race card, race baiting, playing the race card, trying to stir up emotion,” King added.

He's been a racist and a liar all of his life.

What would you expect of the King family's token right-winger?

Fuck off and quit responding to your own thread.

Looks like SOMEBODY ^^^ has a problem when strong women of color don't toe the political line he expects them to.

Check your misogynist and racist privilege white boy.

She’s completely correct and her comments apply to the majority of the LibTards, not just BiDumb! Let’s Go Brandon!

Biden is still locked into the attitudes of his youth
(and as his senility advances, increasingly so)
so he doesn't think he is race baiting,
he's just speaking up for all his
little darkie chillin'...

 

[Champakian]

Hey, the man has a resume and leaving out plagiarist is selling him short!

Milking the family name. She should just piss off.

She's a pretty accomplished woman in her own right who
is keeping the message alive and while her name plays a part in it,
the message is the important thing.

You come off like some old white misogynist racist.

Sorry if that offends. Truly.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Would anyone care what she has to say, but for her last name?

 

[Champakian]

PS

She is also of comparable age to Biden and is more aware of
the culture that Biden matriculated in than either you or I.

I think that alone, as a black woman, gives her as much,
if not more, standing than just her name.
The name just gives her a voice.
It does not invalidate her voice.

 

[Champakian]

Would anyone care what she has to say, but for her last name?

Probably not and that's the point.

As a minority, I am maybe a little bit more sensitive to these things.

As you are indirectly proving, without a name, she would not have a voice
and that's how minorities view the white culture, we simply do not have a voice.

We are supposed to shut the fuck up and get to the back of the bus,
so whatever the vehicle is, we celebrate any body/thing that van give us a voice.

 

[Champakian]

One more point, and think about this,
as Barack Obama pointed out in his book,
unless a minority acts more white than white,
they don't stand a chance in the white culture...

So that's what he did.
As he put it, he became the screen
that whites could project themselves on.

The operative word is "culture." Like it or not that's the way it works all over the world. Mainstream culture, whatever that happens to be, is going to dominate the landscape. In the US there are groups that are trying to be aggressively divisive and base their differences on the color of ones skin. But you and I both know that you can go to damn near any nation on the face of the earth and find the same cultural imperatives where there is no difference in skin color. Hell, you need look no further than the cultural dynamics over on those two Atlantic islands between the Scots, Irish, Welsh, and the Brits.

 

[Champakian]

One man's aggressively divisive is another man's aggressive call for unity over exclusion.

Do you want to expand on that?

 

[Champakian]

Nope.

Because I come from a different perspective than you
and I don't think that you can "get" it; always having
to be twice as good, twice as smart, and twice as mean
just to get people to stop picking on you or trying to
beat the fuck out of you because you were a dirty
Indian with a squaw for a ma in an upright (uptight)
religious white "community."

 

[Champakian]

Just to add a little "color" and perspective to my remarks,
I was born in the 50s which meant I grew up in the 60s
and was witness to both Racism and the Civil Rights
Movement and I always wondered a bit why black people
got moved to the front of the bus, got legislation and
started to get Affirmative Action and promotion to fill
quotas and wondered why the only thing we ever got
was Billy Jack, played by a white guy, of course...

 

[bellisarius]

I'm well traveled and in many cases found myself in the minority so I have no problem identifying. I went to schools where the school population was 95% people of 'color' and I attended all white schools and they all had one thing in common, cliques form and you're going to get tested.

 

[Champakian]

Yeah, I get the argument, well, I once had a WHITE friend,
and then he kicked my ass and took my lunch money
which writ larger was he genocided us and took
pretty much everything else we owned before
forcing us onto unproductive land by way of
atonement and then, if that land later proved
to have something that he wanted, like gold,
we were forced to move (or die) again.

Yeah. Everyone gets "picked" on a little bit in life...

 

[bellisarius]

War is hell, losing is worse.

I look around at all of these peoples with grievances based on past events, many of the grievances legitimate, and I ask, "So how do you fix this?" And in most cases the "fixes" are as bad, or worse, than the original wrong done. I don't pretend to have an answer but I do know that you can't turn the clock back.

I'm well aware of the history of the American Indian and the wrongs done. Your point re. the taking of land isn't lost on me. On the other hand the Southwestern tribes are still on their original lands, the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, and the Pueblo nations. I drive through one or more of their lands weekly and there is but one question that pops into my mind, "Why are you still living like that?"

There is one tribe that is thriving out here, the Mescalero Apache. They figured out decades ago, before Casino's became popular, how to separate the white man from his money.

I get it. I really do even if you don't think so.


Unfortunately, your ancestors chose separate but equal while blacks had that imposed upon them by racists like Joe Brandon and his KKK friends and mentors.

Not that it matters to most people any longer but blacks could claim discrimination and make it stick. It's a lot harder to claim you're being discriminated against after you chose to be "different" than the rest of us.

We can discuss the "Indian Wars" for lack of a better term and how that led to the choices that were made but the reality is, lands and peoples got and get conquered as part of human history. Native Americans lost during the colonization years to the people moving into their lands. It's not right or wrong, it just is and railing against it does nothing but make your throat hoarse.


I believe an analogy could be used as a teaching moment here. After WWII Japan was offered a choice between unconditional surrender or total annihilation. They chose surrender. They did it because there really wasn't any other rational choice except an inevitable end to them and their nation and way of life. They took it because by doing so they'd eventually be allowed to rebuild their country in peace and prosperity.

The lesson here is to take a look at them now. Then compare that to the poverty existing on tribal lands and hopefully see what the 2 different choices have led to.

Who defines this "different"?
