If Joe Biden runs (and it sounds like he will), will self-loathing be a staple of his platform? I’m just wondering, because he’s publicly lamenting “white man’s culture” and expressing regret over his handling of Anita Hill’s hearing, and it’s all very random and confusing.
“To this day I regret I couldn’t come up with a way to give her the kind of hearing she deserved,” he said at an event in New York City Tuesday. “I wish I could have done something.”
Just for some context, the event was about combating sexual assault on college campuses.
Biden’s very concerned. In fact, he wishes he could do something about “white man’s culture” in general. We need to get rid of it.
“In the 1900s so many women were dying at the hands of their husbands because they were chattel, just like the cattle, or the sheep, that the court of Common Law decided they had to do something about the extent of the deaths. You know what they said? No man has a right to chastise his woman with a rod thicker than the circumference of his thumb. This is English Jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture. It’s got to change. It’s got to change,” Biden said.
I didn’t realize Biden considered wife-beating a popular staple of “white man’s culture.” Seriously– is that what he thinks of? He takes the worst thing he’s ever heard and slaps it to ALL of “white culture,” whatever the heck that is. Does he mean “Western culture”? If so, he needs to check himself, because Western culture and its dependence on God built the greatest country in the history of the world.
“No man has a right to lay a hand on a woman, no matter what she’s wearing, she does, who she is, unless it’s in self-defense. Never,” he said.
“If you see a brother taking an inebriated co-ed up the stairs at a fraternity house and you don’t go and stop it, you’re a damn coward,” he continued. “You don’t deserve to be called a man.”
No freaking duh. I’m just so confused as to why Biden would be so desperate to attach wife-beating to “white man’s culture.” If he said that same exact sentence with any other race other than “white,” it would’ve been an offensive, racist statement. But hey– white man’s culture is all about wife-beating! You heard it here first! White men caused this entire problem!
It’s kinda funny to listen to Biden whine about white men and them ruining everything, because he is one. Also, isn’t he notorious for getting creepishly close and whispery with women and making them uncomfortable?
Yeaaaaaaaah.
If he jumps into the presidential race, I’ll expect him to loathe himself for running against minorities and women and taking away their chances of becoming POTUS.
Man, being a liberal white man is complicated.
Anyway, here’s the speech. Happy self-loathing!
