Joe Biden Tells South Carolina Voters That Jim Crow Is “Sneaking Back In”

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Joe Biden, speaking Saturday in a state key to his political survival and where black voters represent the majority in Democratic presidential primaries, invoked the history of voter discrimination and said the country is headed backward.

With that throwback to laws that promoted segregation, Biden then reminded the crowd of election results last year in Georgia and Florida, states elected white Republican governors over black Democrats. Stacey Abrams, who lost the Georgia race but is a rising star in national politics, has met with Biden and has suggested her defeat was attributable to voter suppression tactics.

The 76-year-old is aware that his history as vice president to the nation’s first black president separates from his more than 20 rivals for the nomination. Accordingly he had mentioned Barack Obama everywhere — from Pittsburgh to Dubuque, Iowa — in his first 10 days in the race. Here on Saturday, though, he hit the Obama shout-outs particularly hard.

“I know he’ll take some heat from some of the legislation that was passed during the Clinton era, as it relates to African Americans,” Travis Lincoln, a black voter from Columbia who works with homeless veterans and considers criminal justice reform a key issue, told BuzzFeed News while waiting for Biden’s speech here.

Today on the hit TV show “Scare the Black People” patriarch Joe Biden resurrects Jim Crow to frighten black people to the polls.

Unemployment is at decades low levels for African Americans, no one with a brain believes the predictable racist garbage coming from the left

No doubt. just look at all the Democrat controlled colleges. Separating groups by color and creeds. You're right touchy feely Joe (creepy Joe). Your party is bringing back Jim Crow. Makes sense after all Jim Crow was and is still is all Democrat Party cnn JoeBiden2020

Yeah this time around it's directed towards white ppl now' Especially Old White Men ' !

What lies,Democrats can’t run in the economy, jobs, some international conflict, etc. They always need to have something to hate, some target to focus on, one week its kavenaugh,Covington kids, back to trump, this week it’s Barr, what a circus.

Not sneaking in! Being yanked in at full throttle!

Not 'sneaking back in'. It's slithering back in. Aided and abetted by the snakes around the corner.

what a weirdo

sneaking 'back?!'...hmmm 🤔
