| | ::::The immediate objective is twofold: One, put an end to the lie that the GOP is racist and blacks do best with Democrats; and two, we didn't hear the last word on Biden, Harris, and segregation last nite, however Harris may have dealt Biden a mortal blow. So Biden's legacy will remain an issue up to convention time 2020, whether he wins or looses, and maybe beyond. For know, I'm trying to just collect and present the facts, because the Democrats themselves will not do it (even if Harris wins the nomination, which means it could become even a bigger issue). | | ::::The immediate objective is twofold: One, put an end to the lie that the GOP is racist and blacks do best with Democrats; and two, we didn't hear the last word on Biden, Harris, and segregation last nite, however Harris may have dealt Biden a mortal blow.

| − | ::::The arc of history is tending against those who opposed desegregation (desegregation, not busing). It's the Dems themselves that have made the issues synonymous this past week. We don't want to, and shouldn't re-litigate busing. It's a dead issue, historically and politically. But I'm not prepared to have Joseph Robinette Biden by my spokesman and hero for my own opposition to busing in the 1980s. As a historical fact, HE is the one who ended it. I believe we have enough evidence to show him, and his ilk, as an opportunist, racist, and slanderer, for dumping his own racism (like the Clinton's did and others) on Republicans. I'm loaded for bear. | + | ::::The arc of history is tending against those who opposed desegregation (desegregation, not busing).
