It’s a Jungle Out There

As a U.S. Senator in 1977, while working on racial integration, Biden said, “Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”

As it turns out, Biden’s children did grow up in a jungle because he didn’t do anything that improved racial inequity then or at any other point in the 44 years since then. Had he done anything of substance we would have avoided the racial explosions that occurred in 2020 as racial riots sprang up across America with Antifa and BLM burning cities and killing citizens.

The fact Biden felt the need to sign four new executive orders in an effort to foster racial equity in this country, now, is further proof he has done nothing since 1977 to bring lasting, effective improvement. In a recent speech Biden said, “deep racial inequities and systemic racism” had “plagued our nation for far, far too long.” Yes, Joe, 44 years is far, far too long.

Joe Biden postures with the signing of executive orders aimed at fostering racial equity and expects us to forget that during a campaign speech in Iowa hosted by the Asian & Latino Coalition he said, “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids”.

With politicians believing stuff like this and stating it publicly, no wonder its a jungle out there.

Reality; however, requires we go easy on Jungle Joe because a president can issue executive orders and presidential memorandums until he is blue in the face and it will do nothing to change racism. Racism is a matter of the heart and soul; improvements of which come only with changes in the heart and the soul of those on both sides of the jungle.
