Reasonable people probably agree that we should all get a pass for youthful indiscretions. But what if the mistakes involve advocating racism and anti-Semitism — and are then followed by post-college behavior that’s almost as bad, such as supporting racially motivated policies?
“No problem” seems to be President Biden’s answer.
That’s the only way to understand his refusal to withdraw the nomination of Kristen Clarke for the crucial position of assistant attorney general for civil rights once it came out that she’d advocated theories of black racial superiority and anti-Semitism as a student at Harvard in the 1990s.
While a Harvard undergrad, Clarke argued in the student newspaper that blacks had greater “mental, physical and spiritual abilities” than whites because of the amount of melanin in their skin, a racist theory advocated by race-baiters like Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

this is typical for the DemocRATic SOCIALIST Biden administration – this is not America anymore.
Does this position require confirmation by the Senate? If so, she may be toast. Just gotta bring up the facts.
If I had a sister, she would be it.
Well, actually, this hit piece by the NY Post is racist in it of itself. Kristen Clarke is a well educated African-American woman who only has the highest accolades from across the board. She has proven to be a great friend of the Jewish community. She will one day be on the supreme court. You Yidden that want to criticize her are racists and causing a chillul hashem.
Can you please give a source/reference/example to support your claims?
Thank you.
Maybe you can explain why anyone who wants to criticize her are racists? The criticism is due to racist and antiemetic remarks she allegedly made. In fact you did not explain any defense against these claims.

Well, she probably has a deficiency in melanin, because that is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read. It is almost, although not quite as stupid, as the melanin-deficient idea of A-men and A-women.
