How Joe Biden led Senate Democrats to Preserve Racial Segregation in America

On 15 May 2024, the AP headlined “70 Years ago, school integration was A dream many believed could actually happen. It hasn’t”, and it opened,

Seventy years ago this week, the US Supreme Court ruled separating children in schools by race was unconstitutional. On paper, that decision, the fabled Brown versus Board of Education, taught in most every American classroom, still stands.

But for decades, American schools have been re segregating. The country is more diverse than it ever has been, with students more exposed to classmates from different backgrounds. Still, around 4 out of 10 Black and Hispanic students attend schools where almost every one of their classmates is another student of color.

The intense segregation by race is linked to socio economic conditions, schools where students of color compose more than 90% of the student body are five times more likely to be located in low income areas. That in turn has resounding academic consequences, students who attend high poverty schools, regardless of their family’s finances, have worse educational outcomes.

High poverty schools tend to be schools where far less money is available to invest in educating its youths than is so in the schools that are in rich areas. So, of course, the test scores will also be far lower there.

Though that article didn’t mention Joe Biden’s name, he was actually the leader of the small group of Democratic US Senators who cooperated with the majority of Republicans in the Senate who voted so as to defeat the only method that the US Government was applying to enforce the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown versus Board of Education decision, school busing.

One mainstream news medium did, however, mention, and document, Biden’s role as a leading Senate opponent of school busing, on 25 June 2019, Janell Ross at NBC News headlined “Joe Biden didn’t just compromise with segregationists. He fought for their cause in schools, experts say, Joe Biden helped give America the language that is still used to oppose school integration today, legislative and education history experts say.” She cited A leading historian of the subject, Rucker Johnson.

“Biden was particularly effective in fighting integration because he did not use the overtly racist language of the segregationists, who warned of race mixing and black inferiority, Johnson said. Instead, Biden, along with other centrists and liberals, talked about ‘forced busing, ‘local control’ and ‘parents’ rights.’”

On 9 July 2020, I posted my documentation on “Joe Biden as A Stealthy Bigot”, and let the documents, instead of historians, indict Biden on this. Here that is,

Joe Biden as A Stealthy Bigot

The New York Times Sunday Magazine on July 5th headlined its cover story “America’s Enduring Caste System” and presented Isabel Wilkerson’s masterful, even profound, 12.000 word history of America’s racial caste system. She also presented it in the broader historical context. She said,

“Throughout human history, three caste systems have stood out. The lingering, millenniums long caste system of India. The tragically accelerated, chilling and officially vanquished caste system of Nazi Germany. And the shape shifting, unspoken, race based caste pyramid in the United States.”

In 1977, Delaware’s two US Senators together helped to lead what has since been the extension of America’s race based caste system into the post 1954, post Brown versus Board of Education era. Here is how that “shape shifting” was done.

On Friday, July 22nd of 1977, A bill was being considered in the US Senate regarding how the US Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 civil rights, anti racist, ruling, Brown versus Board of Education, would finally become embodied and carried out in specific US legislation. This bill was being proposed by all three of Delaware’s Members of Congress, and was the most vociferously advocated by the then young and rising Senator Joe Biden. The bill was actually written by Senator Biden’s own staff, though he was only the state’s junior Senator, not its senior one, and the name of the State’s senior Senator was therefore mentioned the first among the bill’s two introducing co sponsors.

It was one of Biden’s earliest prominent initiatives in the US Senate. He was introducing it with the other Delaware US Senator, who was the Republican William Roth. This bill, the “Roth” bill, S 1651, would have allowed unconstitutional segregation of public schools to continue in any cases where the courts attribute it to the workings of the free market instead of to A law that had been passed by the particular State. In other words, to the extent that racial segregation in the US is ‘natural’, it must be allowed to continue, at least as regards taxpayer funded K 12 Education is concerned. Biden advocated this. The goal of Biden and the other white racists in the US Congress at that time, was to take the racial equality issue away from the courts, and into the laws, so as to effectively nullify Brown versus Board of Education, the landmark ruling in favor of racial equality of rights. Biden was A leader in that movement, against racial equality, for continuation of White Supremacy.

At the opening of Biden’s presentation, he asserted,

“The average citizen, and finally his representatives in Congress, have come to the conclusion that the courts have gone too far in education cases. A consensus is emerging in the Nation in my opinion and in the Congress, I hope, that the courts have stretched the 14th amendment beyond its intended limits in requiring busing of schoolchildren to achieve racial balance.”

He made clear that the problem here was “interpreting the ‘equal protection’ clause of the 14th amendment, especially in the field of education.”

Equal protection of the laws regarding all races was the issue at stake.

The 1954 Supreme Court had left to the Nation’s legislators the determination of how their ruling, which was against continuation of White Supremacy, would be carried out.

Delaware, as Biden’s Staff wrote this bill, tried to introduce into American law the idea of unconstitutionally allowing unequal opportunity to persist so long as it is only ‘natural’, because Delaware was the only State in the entire Nation that had A large percentage black population but that had not been in the Southern Confederacy, not been A slave state, in which anti Black discrimination was legally enforced without being also cultural as it had been in Old Dixie. In other words, the Roth Biden bill was specifically designed so as to allow Delaware to continue being racially segregated even while US Courts would be enforcing desegregation orders against the States of Old Dixie, the former Slave States. This would also be A way to free Delaware from any Court decisions that might be forthcoming against Old Dixie States that had De Jure and not only De Facto segregation. It could make Delaware the Libertarian haven for bigots, just as it already had become the Libertarian haven for corporations and for investors.

Delaware’s controlling family, the DuPonts, had been leaders in the libertarian movement going all the way back to their origin in France as having been the first libertarian publisher for the earliest pro Laissez Faire economists, the physiocrats, starting in the 1760‘s, supporting the French King against the increasing movement to end the Monarchy and establish rule by the public, democracy, which they despised. Those “Physiocrats” also opposed increasing tariffs and all other ‘Artificial’ measures, which interfered with the ‘Natural Order.’ Delaware’s three members of Congress, as was customary, were Libertarians, supporters of unlimited freedom for the wealthiest citizens.

Joe Biden and William Roth co invented the System of Racism that now exists in America, but they were hardly unique, at the time. They were leaders, but not unique, in any way.

There were also many other white racist bills in Congress at that time, the 95th Congress, in 1977 – 1978. One of the earliest of these bills was by Republican Representitive Jack Kemp from New York, on 24 March 1977, “A bill to transfer from Federal to State courts jurisdiction to enter decrees requiring the transportation of students or teachers to carry out A plan of racial desegregation.” Then came S 1651, which was introduced on 9 June 1977 and was titled “A bill to insure equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the fifth or 14th amendments to the Constitution of the United States.” Then came the House version of S 1651, which was HR 8644 and also HR 8645, both of which used almost exactly the same title as the Senate version and were introduced on 29 July 1977, by Delaware’s lone member of the US House, the Republican Thomas B Evans, who was trying to appeal to the white majority of his state, as were both of the state’s US Senators, Biden and Roth. Then, on 4 August 1977 came from South Carolina Republican Senator Jesse Helms S 2017, “The Freedom of Choice in Education Act.” On the same day, the Maryland Republican Marjorie Holt introduced in the House HR 932, “The Neighborhood School Act.” There also were dozens of other bills and Joint Resolutions that were proposed, having titles such as “A bill to amend title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit federally ordered assignment of teachers or students on racial and other similar grounds,” and “Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to freedom from forced assignment to schools or jobs because of race, creed, or color” and “Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit compelling attendance in schools other than the one nearest the residence” and “Student Transportation Moratorium Act” and “A bill to extinguish Federal court jurisdiction over school attendance.” None were titled honestly, such as “A Bill to Preserve White Supremacy.” But Delaware was unsurpassed in pushing for that general objective, continued White supremacy, so long as it remains ‘natural’ [in accord with physiocracy].

This was A widespread objective because investors found it to be profitable. It was A very libertarian thing to do. Libertarianism is one dollar one vote, not one person one vote. Those congress members supported that, not democracy.

For example, Donald Trump’s father was A major NYC real estate investor, and he had been caught marching with the KKK because as A real estate tycoon in NYC he was able to charge higher prices for his properties if they were in neighborhoods that still had no Blacks, he was profiting from the pervasive bigotry of at least middle and upper income Whites, such as himself and his friends, who would generally pay A premium in order not to have Blacks living in their neighborhoods. Donald Trump revered his father and inherited his business and continued his practices and viewpoints. So, after the overtly bigoted Party switched gradually away from being the Democrats before 1930, to being the Republicans after 1970, Donald Trump himself increasingly became A Republican, so that he wouldn’t need to hide his racism as much as politicians such as Joe Biden did and still do. Trump as a Republican could be more direct and public, freer, in his White bigotry. In other words: Joe Biden is Donald Trump in blackface, he is Democratic Party billionaires’ candidate, not Republican billionaires’ candidate, to win the votes of black voters, keep Blacks down. Here is evidence of this,

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112104078842&view=1up&seq=256

At page 256 of the PDF, which is page 252 of the printed document, in the Senate testimony regarding S 1651, Biden speaks against busing as being the proposed solution to the problem of segregated schools,

Senator Biden “You say I am throwing the brick. I am not as good at analogies and homilies as all of you [proponents of nationally mandated busing of students in order to advance equal opportunities for Blacks and Whites] are, but I think pushing busing in A way in which it goes beyond the constitutional mandates is like throwing A bus through the civil rights window. I think it has repercussions that are extensive in terms of the ultimate objective of seeing that we get integrated neighborhoods, of seeing that we eventually eliminate job discrimination, of seeing that we change housing patterns, of seeing alteration of the tax structure.”

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112104078842&view=1up&seq=258

Mr Jack Greenberg, Director Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, “Clearly, the purpose of the [Roth Biden co sponsored S 1651] bill must be something else. I believe it is to enact an unconstitutional set of technical obstacles whose sole purpose is to interfere with and delay the courts in their work in school segregation cases, and school desegregation cases alone.”

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112104078842&view=1up&seq=260

Greenberg continues “I conclude that S 1651 has as its intended purpose and effect to dishearten those who have had to go to court as A last resort to vindicate their right to equal justice under law denied them in the public schools of their communities.”

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112104078842&view=1up&seq=262

Arthur S Flemming, Chair, US Commission on Civil Rights, testifying against S 1651, cites in order to attack,

“Section 1 of S 1651 provides,

‘Section 1 (…) No Court of the United States shall order (…) the transportation of any student (…) unless the Court determines that A discriminatory purpose in education was A principal motivating factor in the constitutional violation for which such transportation is proposed as A remedy.’”

Although Roth was the senior Senator and therefore was the lead of the two who were named as its initial two sponsors, Biden actually wrote the bill himself, actually, his staff did, and he also led the advocacy for it, not only in the Senate but in the Senate Judiciary Committee, to which he successfully led it to be approved;,and he opened there by saying,

“The Committee on the Judiciary, to which the bill, S 1651, to insure equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the fifth or fourteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States, having been considered the same [which is meaningless: he actually meant “having considered the same,” not “having been considered the same,” but, since he’s too stupid to understand A lengthy sentence that had been drafted for him, he goofed, and added “been”; he was always actually “Sleepy Joe,” much as Trump has actually always been A “Clown,” though both have been brothers under the skin], reports favorably there on with an amendment and recommend the bill do pass.”

However, the minority on that Committee published A dissent, which stated,

“S 1651 is entitled A bill ‘[t]o insure equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the fifth or fourteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States.’ Curiously, no violation of the Equal Protection Clause is made actionable by this bill. No court is provided with jurisdiction over such violations. No new remedy is created. There is literally no discriminatory act, no matter how blatant, which could be inflicted on any man, woman or child by A Federal, State, or local official which this bill prevents, deters, punishes, or redresses. The purpose of S 1651, therefore, surely cannot be to insure equal protection of the laws.”

That was signed as being the lengthy “Minority Views of Messrs [Plural of Mr] Abourezk, Bayh, Culver, and Kennedy,” by those four Senators, led by Ted Kennedy, who were alleging there that Joe Biden was A fake, A fraud.

As I have previously documented extensively, Joe Biden is profoundly corrupt, and, which might be even worse, he won his Presidential nomination by the Democratic Party by means of cheating, lying about his past, and, especially, by his repeatedly lying to Black voters and citing as having been his colleagues in the sit ins and other peaceful actions by civil rights leaders, there actually were none that he participated in, only civil rights leaders who had recently died and who thus were not available to respond by saying things such as “This man is lying about himself, I never worked with him.” Biden did this while campaigning for Black votes against Bernie Sanders, who actually had been shown in A photograph that was published in the early 1960’s in the Chicago Tribune, being arrested for participating in an anti segregation demonstration against the profoundly racist, anti Black, Mayor of Chicago, the Democrat, Richard J Daley. Why Sanders silently allowed Biden to get away with this has never been explained. Anyway, America’s black voters enormously preferred, and gave A crushing victory to, the bigot, Biden, and thus effectively ended the till then successful campaign of the anti bigot, Sanders. A flood of billionaires’ cash into the Biden campaign right before the South Carolina primary on 29 February 2020 convinced almost all Blacks that Biden represented their interests. But Sanders was hardly alone in his silence, there were also others who knew that Biden is A psychopath and kept quiet about it.

So, Biden, who was one of the leading White supremacists in the US Senate, ended up successfully pretending to have been instead A campaigner for civil rights and won his nomination by combining the donations from 66 American billionaires, A larger number of them than donated to any of the other Democratic candidates, and Sanders was the only candidate to have received no money from any billionaire, with Biden winning the votes by the overwhelming majority of black voters, who constituted the majority of Democratic voters in the states of Old Dixie, and thus the overwhelming support of Biden against Sanders handed Biden the Democratic nomination, on February 29th and Super Tuesday in 2020.

The chief difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden might be that Trump never even tried to paint his face black. One example of this “paint” was at 17:24 in the video that showed Biden addressing Blacks on 22 May 2020, where he told them, “If you’ve got A problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

This is not to argue for Donald Trump. It is instead to add yet further to my description of the way American politics actually functions.

To conclude here, Kenneth L Karst, one of America’s leading professors of Constitutional law, wrote the entry on “School Busing”, at encyclopedia dot com, in 1986, and stated there, which still remains true,

“Sadly, it is realistic to assume the continuation of urban residential segregation, which has diminished only slightly since 1940, despite nearly half A century of civil rights litigation and legislation. Even the migration of increasing numbers of middle class black families to the suburbs has not significantly diminished residential segregation. Given that assumption, the nation must choose between accepting racially separate schools and using school busing to achieve integration. The first choice will seem to many citizens A betrayal of the promise of Brown. The second choice faces opposition strong enough to threaten not only the nation’s historic commitment to public education but also its commitment to obedience to law.”

The only change is that that “nearly half A century” in 1986 is now 34 [now 38] years more [ever since 1940],and still no change [between 1940 and now, 2024, 84 years later], despite what Courts have ruled [including the never enforced Brown versus Board of Education decision].

People such as Joe Biden and Donald Trump are the reason why the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Brown versus Board of Education is still awaiting laws that would mandate it, and enforcement that would impose it. The resistance always wins, because it comes from America’s billionaires, who fund politicians’ careers. Pumping bigotry is profitable. This is natural. But, often, what is natural is bad, not good. Government imposing those natural things is bad, not good. And this is the type of Government that both Biden and Trump represent. It is the billionaires’ Government.

MY CONCLUDING NOTE, on 15 May 2024, The Brown versus Board of Education decision dealt with perhaps the biggest symptom of A naturally occurring disease in free market economies, people’s natural preference to be surrounded by people who are similar to themselves. School busing that’s done to get in the way of fulfilling this natural objective is the wrong way to do it, because it is merely symptomatic and tries to attain the objective fundamentally by punishing fulfillment of that objective, it doesn’t overcome the disease by focusing instead upon rewarding individuals for making the personal sacrifices that are entailed in relocating themselves to more ‘mixed’ neighborhoods so that the local schools won’t need “forced busing” in order for the broader society to become less segregated. For example. banks “red lining” of low income neighborhoods, which are populated by minorities, is natural because those neighborhoods have lower property values, home prices, and therefore lending there is naturally riskier than is lending in affluent neighborhoods. Our Government, even where it uses “forced busing” so as to reduce segregation, ignores this, by its failing to reward lenders to the extent that A given lender lends in those financially riskier neighborhoods. Our Government instead applies only the ‘sticks’ to prod the public to accept more “mixing,” but ignores to add “carrots” in order for lenders to become at least fully compensated for any lending that they do to highern risk neighborhoods. Those loans are the ones that need to become made more profitable than normal loans are, no longer less profitable, such as in A normal free market economy. This way, consumers will have an incentive, by the greatly reduced interest rates for lending in low income neighborhoods, to move into low income neighborhoods, because borrowing in order to make the move will cost less than it now does, and because any borrowing in order to move into A ‘better’ neighborhood will cost more than it now does. This is A social problem that is A natural disease of any free market economy and that can become cured only by segaciously applied carrots in order to induce the broader society to achieve changes that will increase the happiness of the society, and so will encourage it toward lowered use of ‘sticks’ at every level, so as for it to become A more peaceful society. Ultimately, A governmentally backed loan insurance program for lending to purchase residences in lower income neighborhoods will be A key part of reducing all sorts of societally counter productive segregation. Public officials such as Joe Biden never even cared to address root causes of any societal problem, but instead only to fool voters to believe “He is one of us”, which no psychopath ever is. He never proposed any means by which the Brown versus Board of Education ruling, which demanded ending racial segregation in the public schools, would be achieved. He demonstrably didn’t care about the matter, except that he was instrumental in effectively eliminating that ruling. Furthermore, as President, he has taken no action to eliminate red lining, so, he not only led Senate Democrats against school busing, but he has done nothing at the deeper level to reduce America’s ‘racial’ segregation. And, of course, Trump is no better. Unless RFK Jr will apologize for having backed the apartheid Government of Israel, he isn’t, either. And he hasn’t said anything about desegregation or how it night be achieved. But neither Biden nor Trump should even be in this contest, because they are rotten through and through.

Biden plays Blacks for Fools and has Won them That Way

Joe Biden, who led Senate Democrats in the successful campaign that he and the Republican Senator Jesse Helms led across the aisle to block enforcement of the landmark desegregation Supreme Court Brown versus Board of Education desegregation ruling, lied to Blacks about it and said that he had been A champion of desegregation, and he won Blacks massively in South Carolina and other Old Dixie states on the basis of that massive lie. Now he’s now doing it again, but this time about the genocide against Gazans that Israel’s soldiers are perpetrating with America’s weapons and bombs in Gaza, weapons and bombs that he refuses to make conditional on Israel’s stopping the genocide.

On May 20th, the AP headlined “Biden tells Morehouse graduates that scenes in Gaza from the Israel Hamas war break his heart, too”, and reported that Biden said,

“I support peaceful non violent protest,” he told students at the all male college, some of whom wore Palestinian scarves known as keffiyehs around their shoulders on top of their black graduation gowns. “Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.”

Biden said there’s A humanitarian crisis in Gaza, “that’s why I’ve called for an immediate cease fire to stop the fighting” and bring home hostages still being held by Hamas after its militants attacked Israel on October 7. The president’s comments came near the end of A commencement address in which he also reflected on American democracy and his role in safeguarding it.

“It’s one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world,” Biden said. “There’s nothing easy about it. I know it angers and frustrates many of you, including my family. But most of all I know it breaks your heart. It breaks mine as well.”

The article mentioned nothing about the reality: the ethnic cleansing if not outright genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza, with bombs, planes, bullets and tanks, that are donated by US taxpayers to the tune of over $ 14 billion this year, and whose use Biden refuses to make conditional on stopping that ethnic cleansing or genocide.
