Deroy Murdock: Biden’s ‘Jim Eagle’ vs. Jim Crow here’s what Democrats get so profoundly wrong on race – Fox News
To see what racism and race-baiting look like, peerno further than todays Democrat-Left. From relentless obsession with critical race theory, baseless claims of "systemic racism," critical race theory brainwashing sessions, to delivery of health care based on skin color, Democrats and their ideological brethren see everything through black-and-white glasses.
A perfect case in point is the Democrat-Left response to the rebuttal by U.S. Sen. Tim Scott to President Joe Bidens address to Congress Wednesday night.
The $6 Trillion Man spoke softly and carried a big shopping list. After Biden quietly left no spending stoneunthrown, the South Carolina Republican delivered a warm, stirring and confident reply. He spoke about growing up poor, fatherless and Black. He also explained that he personally had experienced racism. But he added a key point. "Hear me clearly:America is not a racist country," Scottdeclared, in contrast to Bidens claims to the contrary.

Scott also chided Senate Democrats for filibustering his post-George Floyd police-reform legislation. Even after ScottgaveDemocratsthe opportunity to offer extensive amendments, they refused even toconsider hismeasure.Scott said: "My friends across the aisle seemed to want the issue more than they wanted a solution."
The Republican-Right praised Scotts speech, and I began saying "DeSantis-Scott 2024" to anyone who would listen.

But the Democrat-Left reacted not with a refutation of Scott on substance, but with bitter, bigoted attacks on him as a Black man who refuses to toe the Lefts line and dares to think for himself.
*The vicious slur "Uncle Tim" trended on Twitter for 12 hours before the normally hypersensitive censors at that Big Tech giant judged this inappropriate. Of course, it blamed a misfiring algorithm.
*"A major strategy of racists,is to incentivize one ofits[sic] Black victims to act as the crash test dummy for white supremacy," said documentarian TariqNasheed, AKA Tariq Elite and K-Flex. "WhenUncle Tim Scottsays America is not a racist country, he is fully aware he is speaking in bad faith,"Nasheedcontinued via Twitter. "The purpose is to protect white supremacists."
*According to ABC talk-show host and "comedian" Jimmy Kimmel, Scott said America is not a racist country, "and then Tim went back to thesensory deprivation egghe calls home."
Rather than mock Scott, the Democrat-Left might ask themselves why they never managed to elect a Black senator from the South between Reconstruction and Scotts election on Nov. 4, 2014.
On June 22, 2010, Scott won 68% of the Republican primary-runoff vote for a Palmetto State U.S. House seat. Scott defeated Paul Thurmond, who scored just 32% of the vote. Never mind that Thurmond is Whiteand alsothe son of South Carolinas late, long-serving U.S. senator, the legendary Strom Thurmond.
Parenthetically, Strom Thurmond was the only prominent segregationist Southern Democrat who became a Republican. The Left loves to scream the filthy lie that the Democrats who oppressed Blacks under Jim Crow morphed into Republicans. While Thurmond certainly did this, the other Dixiecrats who tortured Blacksincluding Alabamas police-dog deploying Democrat National committeeman Bull Connor, Govs. Orval Faubus of Arkansas and George Wallace of Alabama, and filibustering U.S. Sens. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee, and many moreall lived, ruled and died as Democrats.
Rather than bring Americans together,Bidens inflammatory rhetoric pits citizens against each other.
On Dec. 17, 2012, South Carolinas Republican Gov.Nikki Haley, a woman of East Indian descent, appointed Congressman Tim Scott to fill the seat of Republican Jim DeMint, who left the Senate to run the Heritage Foundation. Scott was elected to that seat on Nov. 4, 2014. He earned 749,266 votes, 83,661 more ballots that White Republican Lindsey Grahams total of 665,605 that election night.
Republicans proudly have held Tim Scott on their shoulders. Democrats attack him for being Black.
This confirms, yet again, that the Democrat Party has become Americas headquarters for racism and anti-Black bigotry.
For further proof of this phenomenon, consider the man atop the Democrat Party.
In his latest bid to unite America, President Joe Biden has called Georgias new election-integrity law "Jim Crow for the 21stcentury" and "Jim Crow on steroids."
"Parts of our country are backsliding," Biden moaned onApril 14. "The days of Jim Crow, passing laws that harken back to the era of poll taxes, when Black people were made to guess how many beans howmanyjelly beans in a jar, or count the number of bubbles in a bar of soap before they could cast their ballot."
Biden said this via satellite to the National Action Network. Its founder, Al Sharpton, is a museum-quality racial arsonist who has called Jews "diamond merchants"andFred Harari, who isJewish, a "White interloper." In 1995, Sharptons anti-Semitic slurs mayhave inspired Roland Smith, a crazed protester, who shot up and ignited Freddies Fashion Mart, Hararis store in Harlem. The ensuing inferno killed seven. Smith fatally shot himself.
Rather than bring Americans together,Bidens inflammatory rhetoric pits citizens against each other. While Bidenhurls Molotov catchphrases atthePeach States new statute, why didnt he help loosen Delawaresmuch tightervotingrules?
*Days of in-person early voting? Georgia: 17. Delaware: Zero
*Ballot dropboxes?Georgia: at least 159 (no fewer than one per county). Delaware: Zero
*No-excuse absentee ballots? Georgia: Yes. Delaware: No.
*Voters name and partyread aloudat polls? Georgia: No. Delaware: Yes
*Voter ID required? Georgia: Yes. Delaware: Yes.
Bidenalso trivializes the pain of Jim Crowsgenuinevictims while diluting the cruelty of thesemandatesand their76-year-long,"separate-but-equal"reign of terror.
"This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle," Biden told journalists on March 25. "I mean, this is gigantic what theyre trying to do, and it cannot be sustained."Male bald eaglestypically weigh 10 times as much as an averageone-pound crow.Does Biden truly believe that Georgias "Jim Eagle" law is10 times worsethan Jim Crows multifaceted, anti-Black voter suppression?
Poll taxes once made voting too expensive for poor citizens, manyBlack. Georgias new lawimposesno poll tax.
Before 1965,Alabamas literacy testasked prospective voters 68 questions, including:"If a state is a party to a case, the Constitution provides that original jurisdiction shall be in ________."By refusing to hear Texasanti-vote-fraud case last December, todays Supreme Courtforgotthatitis the correct answer.
Also,"The Constitution limits the size of the District of Columbia to ________."Answer: Ten square miles.
TodaysGeorgialawkeepsliteracy tests buried.
Michigans Jim Crow Museum observes that inmany a lynching,"The victim was an example of what happened to a Black man who tried to vote."Georgias lawdoesnot reinstatelynching.
Northern Freedom Riders headed South to register Black voters in 1961. Theyenduredbeatings and fire-bombings. Georgiasnew law resurrectsneitherpractice.
Three youngCongress of Racial Equalityactivists namedJames Chaney(a Black man),Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner (both White) registered Black Mississippians to vote in June1964.On Goodmans first evening on duty, local Klansmen murdered them and hid theirbodiesin an earthen dam. Elsewhere, investigators found the bodies of Freedom Summer college students Henry Dee and Charles Moore(both Black), a cadaver in a CORE T-shirt, andfive other corpses.
Thatwas Jim Crow, not merely requiring votersBlack and otherwiseto show ID, asdo36 states(including Bidens blessed Delaware). Blacks routinely present ID at airports, banks, libraries, hotels and millions of other venues daily.

For Biden to compare Georgias vote-expansion bill with the Jim Crow that slaughtered Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner, Dee and Mooreismorally grotesque, ber-divisive, and a profound insult to those who were killed while crushing Jim Crow and securing Black voting rights.
And,remember: The Jim Crow laws were passed, signed andbrutallyenforced by Democrats, not Republicans.Perhaps thats whyBiden cannot shut up about Jim Crow. Those racist rules werehispartys handiwork.
