VIDEO: African American Vaccine Hesitancy Comes From Historical Place Dec 21, 2020 CNN

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams says a 1932 government study helps explain why so many people in the African American community may have Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy. Adams and Dr. Anthony Fauci discuss the issue with CNN's Don Lemon and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

DIRECT HEADLINE: For Some Black Americans, Vaccine Hesitancy Is Just One Part Of A Legacy Of Mistrust

Black people in the US have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19, yet many are leery of the vaccine. To get the shot, many must overcome their historical memory of unethical medical experiments

DIRECT HEADLINE: Biden’s Vaccine Push Fails To Gain Traction With African Americans

Less than a quarter of Black Americans have received their first Covid-19 shot. That's less than other racial and ethnic groups tracked by the CDC.

TOPIC QUESTIONWhy Should Vaccine Hesitant Black Americans Trust Joe Biden When He Encourages Those Among Them That Are Unvaccinated To Get The COVID19 Vaccine? ( In fact, based on Biden's long and public political career and his engagement with the African American community, why should they trust one single word that comes out of his mouth?)

Let's unpack this:

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Sanjay Gupta are on record discussing the critical issue of the low vaccination rates amongst America's black communities. Adams points out the clear long standing reasons why there is deep mistrust of the government based on previous public policy and repugnant experimentation where black Americans were used as human guinea pigs.

My viewpoint is Joe Biden as the leader of the free world, our Commander In Chief and our current President only compounds this conflict based on his entire political career of open racism and hostility and condescension towards black Americans.

- Joe Biden has a history of lying through his teeth. His run for POTUS ended in 1987 based on being caught for plagiarism (How exactly do you get caught in the 80's for this? How incompetent do you have to be to get caught as such back then? ) He also lied about educational achievements, his deep family background and his work history. 

- Joe Biden authored or coauthored nearly all of the major crime bills in modern American political history, including the 1994 Crime Bill, which sent countless African Americans, particularly young black men, to prison. He relentlessly defended his participation until it was no longer politically expedient, then he simply pretended he never supported any of it.

- Joe Biden has a public and recorded deep history with known racist segregationists in Congress who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to help create these crime bills, and considered Robert Byrd, a high level top ranking KKK fixer as a "mentor" and eulogized him at his funeral.

- Joe Biden allowed rioting and looting to go nearly unchecked in 2020, with little to no public opposition, because it secured the Progressive, Radical Left and some elements of the black voting blocks for his election run. Despite previously claiming he was going to be "tough on crime" earlier in his political career, again when it served his personal career best, he also said openly he wanted to "redirect" money away from law enforcement when asked about Defunding The Police.

- Joe Biden record shows he opposed busing while calling it "an asinine concept", he claimed on record that part of the reason was he didn't want his own children to "grow up in a racial jungle", said that if any African American who didn't vote for him for President, that "you ain't black" and pointed out that his previous running mate and President, Barack Obama, was the exceptional because he was black and "clean"

- Joe Biden lied about his relationship and being arrested with Nelson Mandela and kept lying across his political history about his role in the Civil Rights Movement including boycotts and sit ins and marching. To the point where veteran journalists from the NY Times state that Biden's own staffers begged him to stop lying about his "participation" in marches and boycotts and fighting for black rights.

- Joe Biden picks his Vice President, Kamala Harris, who points out on national television that he opposed busing ( of which she was involved as a child), he had a long standing relationship with racists in Congress and his horrible record with the 1994 Crime Bill. Harris also previously demanded Biden apologize for his role in all this before their election run. His own Vice President calls out his behavior. Of course Biden picks the former California Attorney General whom Tulsi Gabbard ripped apart in debate over her record for incarcerating young black men, supporting use of young black men as cheap prison labor and suppressing evidence to keep young black men, where some might have actually been innocent, in prison. Biden, whom became the oldest first term POTUS in American political history, picked his immediate line of succession to be someone who put countless black Americans in prison for marijuana but herself laughed in public and on national television about her own weed usage. Chuck Lorre and Ryan Murphy couldn't write a sitcom with a plot this stupid.

ANALYSIS:  Joe Biden shows a clear long standing pattern of racism, across decades and in multiple pathways, against black Americans.

That he rode on a political platform based on pure identity politics and intersectionality and was able to avoid criticism of nearly all of this from the complicit left leaning MSM only makes this more ridiculous and insulting and terrifying, all at the same time.

There is no reason for vaccine hesitant African Americans to trust a single solitary thing Joe Biden has to say to them, including his urgent insistence that they get the COVID19 vaccine. Biden is a reminder of the deep history and legacy of hate towards African Americans by the old guard political establishment.

Compound this with flooding our Southern Border, tanking our economy, abandoning Americans in Afghanistan, arming terrorists via our tax dollars and raising ugly questions about his cognitive agency and his tactical control of the most powerful military in all of recorded human history and the ability to unleash up to 6000 nuclear weapons at a moments notice and you have a lifetime of lies, deceit and incompetence that no one period, irregardless of racial background or vaccination status, should trust.

Biden is one the largest current "Anti-Vaxx" proponents in America today based on how he chose to live his life and behave as an elected official.

Do you agree? Do you disagree?

Discuss.

DIRECT HEADLINE: 2 Truths and 31 Lies Joe Biden Has Told About His Work in the Civil Rights Movement

Since the early 1970s, Joe Biden has been a serial liar when it comes to his "work" in the Civil Rights Movement. It's the equivalent of stolen valor and is fundamentally disqualifying.

By Shaun King 30 January 20

https://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/61090-2-truths-and-31-lies-joe-biden-has-told-about-his-work-in-the-civil-rights-movement

Since the early 1970s, (now Presidential candidate) Joe Biden has (always) been a serial liar when it comes to his "work" in the (American) Civil Rights Movement. It's the (same) equivalent of stolen valor and is fundamentally disqualifying ( for POTUS).

(Joe Biden in January of 2014 for the National Action Network), said that he was regularly trained for the Civil Rights Movement in 1960 on Sunday mornings in Black churches (and was) involved in desegregating movie theaters and helping....( organizing) voter registration drives.

( On February 26th, 1987 Joe Biden began giving public speeches in New Hampshire as he prepared to run for President.) He said, “When I marched in the Civil Rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program, I marched with tens of thousands of others ( in protest) to change attitudes, and we (certainly) changed attitudes.”

(Matt Flegenheimer of The New York Times .... conducted over 1,000 interviews for a book on civil rights), It discusses... Biden’s staffers (openly) talking about how (very) desperately they wanted (candidate) Biden to stop telling the (same easily debunkable) lies about working in the Civil Rights Movement.

(In 1983 Joe Biden was a keynote speaker at the Democratic Conference in Maine and (also) falsely claimed there to participate (with others)  in sit-ins at movie theaters and restaurants to desegregate them when he was (just) 17 years old in 1960)

But sit-ins at segregated restaurants did not (actually) begin in Delaware until 1961 and (these) sit-ins never happened at the segregated movie theaters.

(On December 26th, 1982 in a story about the history of the Charcoal Pit in the Sunday News Journal in Wilmington.) Biden said,

I (personally) organized a civil rights boycott because they wouldn’t serve black kids ( at the restaurant). One of our football players (Hutchins) was black and (when) we went there and ( the staff) said they wouldn’t serve him. And I (then) said to the others (with me), ‘Hey, we (all) can’t go in there.’ So we all left.... My clear intent was to boycott.”

The lone black student in the class, (now Dr.) Francis Hutchins, said that wasn’t what happened at all.
