You think Trump was saying the US hasn't had fire problems until now?  I seriously doubt that.




Trump didn’t know anything about fires until he visited “pleasure” after the town burned to the ground

He didn’t call “them” predators. That’s a lie. And now you’re lying. Again.

What was his response to calling black guys predators





    Same as mine probably .... how fucking stupid is this guy , that was actually Hillary Clinton that said that , 30 years ago .



Yes, Hillary Clinton was actually the one who used the term "Super Predators" 30 years ago.

Interesting to note, though: Clinton used that term in the context of defending the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which was co-written by both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and signed into action by Bill Clinton.

What was the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, you might ask? Well, it did a number of things:
  • Banned assault weapons at the federal level
  • Added 60 new crimes to the list of crimes punishable by death, including terrorism and drive-by-shootings
  • Overturned a section of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which previously allowed prison inmates to receive a Pell grant for college. After Biden/Clinton's Bill, no grants were awarded to inmates for higher education.
  • Allocated $1.6 billion to law enforcement for the purpose of investigating violent crimes against women (primarily domestic violence and sexual assault)
  • Prior to the bill, DMV's published information on license-holders that disclosed whether or not they had received abortions, which led to Pro-lifers harassing them. The 1994 bill required DMV's to keep this information private.
  • Required the state to track the residence of sex offenders for ten years after an offense.
  • Allocated $30 billion to a police recruitment program, which led to the hiring of over 100,000 additional police officers nationwide
  • Not all prisons require inmates to serve their full sentences at conviction (being let go early for good behavior or whatnot). The 1994 bill financially rewarded all prisons which required all inmates to serve 85% or more of their sentences at conviction.
  • More, including allocation of tax money to build new prisons and manual drug tests for those serving federal supervised release time.


This bill was an extremely significant change in US policy, which opened up a whole new bipartisan debate on how to deal with crime. It was also a critical factor that led to a problem we weren't facing prior to the nineties: mass incarceration (a problem which primarily affects black Americans).

My takeaway from all of this information is the following: No, Joe Biden never referred to black Americans as "Super Predators." That was Hillary Clinton, and she didn't explicitly say that these "Super Predators" were black. It's quite clear that Trump mentioned this during the debate to try to characterize Joe Biden as an overt racist, and he's just not. However, all of that said, Biden was responsible for drafting a crime bill which led to a serious problem that disproportionately affects black Americans. Biden may not be an overt racist, but due to his political history, I'd hesitate to call him a hero for black Americans to look up to.

It really sucks that neither of these candidates are really allies for black Americans.




Biden isn't a hero, really?

Laughable, like getting support from some blacks in a corrupt two party system automatically deletes his long record of racist acts and comments. :lol:

Umm.. I have relatives in the US, including my niece (9) and nephew (10). These kids, who speak fluent English as their first language, were blown away by that this is how adults talk, and that with such important talks for all the nation and the world.

Their father: "I watched the whole thing and it was downright scandalous."

So, then what does that post have to do with the false accusation that Biden called black people predators?

I didn’t care to review this thread to see the shit people are spewing.  I didn’t see anything about black people.  I saw Koods say Biden didn’t call “them” predators.  Idk who Koods is referring to when he said “them,” but Biden did call a group of people predators.

Biden is obviously not an overt racist. However, he has drafted policy that directly contributed to systemic racism, like in the example I shared from 1994.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.
