I agree. Imagine if Biden's anti-white rhetoric was anti-black rhetoric by a Republican senator... all hell would break loose. Bennett was lynched for a true comment that wasn't even racist, because he is a conservative. And then allowing Biden to get away with something much, much, much worse. Insane.

To show how pervasive this is, my wife got some movie from Netflix the other day, can't recall the name, some piece of fluff by Rob Reiner with Jennifer Anniston and Kevin Costner, based on the movie 'The Graduate'.
Costner played a character supposed to be the Dustin Hoffman character who `knocked boots' with Mom (Ann Bancroft) and daughter Jennifer, and in this film he `scored' with granddaughter Jennifer too. Of course his character was a former ashram dwelling, sprout-eating, global warming concerned billionaire.
I stopped watching when the reverential references to Che Guevera and President Clinton started appearing in this made for the Lifetime channel product.
Sometimes I think Orwell was prescient in predicting a Ministry devoted to churning out propaganda drivel, in all media, to keep the proles occupied with anything but what the inner parties are doing.
Wife thinks I'm a `poop', but I say it's spinach and to h*** with anything that looks like advertising, political (either party) or cleaning products, that they want us to accept as gospel.

Aww come on.  Do you seriously think what Senator Biden said was racist? Or are you just being overtly PC? What he said was funny in the vein of something Bill Cosby would say. It's something we all notice and can individualize with, which is exactly what makes it funny. He wasn't being derogatory unless you think working in a convenience store isn't honorable work.

I've gradually had to throw out about ninety percent of my joke repertoire because of all the idiots trying to "out racist" or "out something-ist" each other.

Everyone on the planet is a racist to a certain extent. What would you call someone who had a phobia requiring him to only associate with people NOT of his kind?  I can tell you this much, if what ever it's called ends in 'ist' it must be bad.
