Here are my observations and opinions from my select news of the day.

BIDEN INSULTS OUR INTELLIGENCE – In the virtual meeting Joe Biden had with members of the Service Employees International Union, during which he called President Trump a “racist,” because he referred to the “Wuhan” and “China” virus,  Biden said, “The average American doesn’t distinguish between Chinese people and other Asians, a South Korean from someone from Beijing.”

If I was a voter in one of those battleground states, where we are led to believe Biden leads President Trump, I would be insulted with that ridiculous viewpoint.

‘RACIST’ OVERUSED BY DEMOCRATS – Democrats and their media use the words “racist” and “racism” with abandon.  Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden freely accused President Trump of being a racist, following the lead of his civil rights icon John Lewis, who openly called the president a racist on television.

However, it was interesting to learn that “just 15 percent say it refers only to discrimination by white people against minorities,” according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey.

The survey reveals that just 18 percent say most white Americans are racist, while 25 percent believe that most black Americans are racist.

A SENSIBLE VOICE OUT OF THE PAST – Over the years, I recall seeing Ward Connerly regularly interviewed on the subject of race.  He’s currently president of Californians for Equal Rights.

After a long hiatus, his name appeared as the author of an op-ed in the weekend Wall Street Journal.  It caught my eye because the headline, “America Isn’t a Racist Country,” represents my view.  I simply don’t buy the left’s view that “systemic racism” prevails in America.

Connerly opened with the need for due process and swift punishment for those responsible for the death of George Floyd, but he believes that “justice for Floyd and his family was never the primary objective of those who took to the streets.”

“Instead,” he said, “the incident represents an opportunity for some to pursue an era of racial leveraging, the likes of which we haven’t seen for some time.”

Seemingly referring to the Black Lives Matter movement, Connerly acknowledges that “there is pressure, spoken and silent, to accept without challenge the view that U.S. is a nation boiling in the juices of ‘systemic racism,’ the response should be a bold and spirted in defense of our nation’s progress.”

“We are witnessing an all-out assault on America, not only as it was but as it is and as we seek it to become.” He writes of the belief that America is a racist nation, “governed by a horde of white male supremacists who use the pretense of equality to maintain their superior position.”

However, “when asked for evidence to support that claim of white supremacy, the only response I have been given is ‘look all around.’  They hold this untruth to be self-evident.”

“The claim that America is systemically racist is a false narrative that fuels racial paranoia, division and hatred,” Connerly stated.

SIDEBAR – Ward Connerly is considered by some blacks not to be black enough. In 1995, then California State Senator Diane Watson said about Connerly, “He’s married to a white woman.  He wants to be white.  He wants a colorless society.  He has no ethnic pride.  He doesn’t want to be black.”

Reminds me of Biden’s, “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”

It’s the kind of thing Blacks for Trump face every day.

HERE’S ANOTHERE EXCERPT from the high school history text book, “A People’s History of the United States,” reflecting on the presidential election of 2000:

“The Democrat candidate for president would now be the man who served (Clinton) faithfully as vice president, Albert Gore.  The Republican Party chose as its candidate for president the former governor of Texas, George W. Bush, Jr. known for his connection to oil interests and the record number of executions of prisoners during his term in office.”

How’s that for a one-sided view?  There’s more:

“Neither Gore nor Bush had a plan for free national health care, for extensive low-cost housing, for dramatic change in environmental controls.  Both supported the death penalty and the growth of prisons. Both favored a large military establishment, the continued use of land mines, and the use of sanctions against the people of Cuba and Iraq.”

Are you beginning to understand President Trump’s opinion that our children are being indoctrinated?  More to come.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
