During a [[Democratic party]] presidential primary debate before the [[2020 presidential election]], California senator [[Kamala Harris]] confronted then frontrunner former VP Joe Biden over his role in repealing sections of the [[1964 Civil Rights Act]] that restored funding to schools refusing to integrate with [[Black]]s after the 1954 ''[[Brown vs. Board of Education]]'' desegregation order.<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/kamala-harris-says-she-was-a-victim-of-bidens-racial-policies 'That little girl was me': Kamala Harris says she was a victim of Biden's anti-busing racial policies], by Ellie Bufkin, ''Washington Examiner'', June 27, 2019.</ref> The Biden Amendment,<ref>[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/joe-biden-integration-school-busing-120968_full.html How a Young Joe Biden Turned Liberals Against Integration], By JASON SOKOL, ''[[Politico]]'', August 04, 2015.</ref>  originally written by segregationist Democrat Sen.

===Justice Clarence Thomas appointment===

===Justice Clarence Thomas appointment===

In 1991, Republican President [[George H.W. Bush]] appointed an African American, [[Clarence Thomas]], to the Supreme Court to replace the retiring Justice [[Thurgood Marshall]]. Racist Democrats were outraged that a conservative Black, who refused to pledge to uphold ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'' which legalized the murder of millions of unborn Blacks, would become a role model for Black youth.  [[Anita Hill]], a [[lesbian]] staffer who worked for Thomas was pushed forward, against her will, to testify publicly about unverified comments she made to FBI background investigators alleging sexual harassment in the work place, essentially jokes circulating among office employees. Hill's name was illegally [[leak]]ed by Senate Democrat staffers and Chairman [[Joseph Biden]] then subpoenaed Hill, compelling her to testify in public under oath in an effort to derail the nomination and permanently scar Thomas. In an unprecedented step, Biden delayed the final vote and held extended public hearings.
