You may have heard of the magazine called Nature. It is a highly respected weekly publication, focusing on science.
I believe, it was founded some 160 years ago in the UK.
They are looking for an intern, but he/she must be black
I remember the “I have a dream speech” of Dr Martin Luther King. He hoped that at some point in the future, people would not be judged by the color of their skin.
Apparently the education and skills of a job applicant are not the main issue for this magazine. Dr King would be astonished to see this kind of development. This racist job ad is not what he had in mind.
At another source, I also read that the magazine also accepts black people mixed with other races.
The question then is, is the job applicant black enough?
Coming to think of it, our racist president Biden made a similar comment (about being black enough) last year.
While we are at it, Lori Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, gives interviews only to black or brown reporters. No white reporters allowed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action
Affirmative action refers to a set of policies and practices within a government or organization seeking to increase the representation of particular groups based on their gender, race, sexuality, creed or nationality in areas in which they are underrepresented such as education and employment.[1][2][3][4] Historically and internationally, support for affirmative action has sought to achieve goals such as bridging inequalities in employment and pay, increasing access to education, promoting diversity, and redressing apparent past wrongs, harms, or hindrances.
The nature of affirmative action policies varies from region to region and exists on a spectrum from a hard quota to merely targeting encouragement for increased participation. Some countries use a quota system, whereby a certain percentage of government jobs, political positions, and school vacancies must be reserved for members of a certain group; an example of this is the reservation system in India.
In some other regions where quotas are not used, minoritized group members are given preference or special consideration in selection processes. In the United States, affirmative action in employment and education has been the subject of legal and political controversy. In 2003, the Supreme Court of the United States, in Grutter v. Bollinger, held that the University of Michigan Law School could consider race as a plus-factor when evaluating applicants holistically and maintained the prohibition on the use of quotas
Biden being called a racist? Where is that coming from?
Biden has a long history of Racism, as his current VP pointed out in the debates. A simple google search on "Biden's Racism" will get lots of hits.
His comment about how Hispanics were a more diverse group than blacks was cute.
His speech way back about how he didn't want his kids going to school in a jungle during desegregation was a big hit.
His comment on Obama was classic " “You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
One of my favorites from 2019 "Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
As I said, do a google search. The list is long, and depending on your disposition, potentially entertaining.
Some of these are probably evidence of declining cognition, but the underlying driver is quite clear.
Thanks Tim,
You have a problem with people accusing other people of being racists, who probably aren't racists when the targets are republicans but this is what you are doing to the democrat, Joe Biden.
I'm well aware of the statements/items of Joe Bidens past, a couple going back many decades ago but you are ignoring 99% of what he has stood for most of his life, so that you can mischaracterize him as a racist.
Does anybody seriously think that the first black president of the United States picked a racist as his running mate?
No doubt that he was completely vetted. One can show more than 10 times the information that tells us that he's not a racist then that he is.
This Biden is a racist is repeated all the time on FOX and other right biased sources.
If Biden was a republican or if a republican had his record, none of this would be important.
Trump was called a racist all the time on more evidence than we have on Biden from his past.
One of my favorites is when the right shows a video of Biden saying nice things about the racist, Robert Byrd.
He was doing the guys eulogy for crying out loud!
Everybody always says nice things.............and only nice things when we eulogize a persons life.
If people have to stoop to this, in order to provide evidence that Biden is a racist, then the authentic information must be lacking.
Those are racist statements, by any definition. I did not misquote or misrepresent, and had a pub uttered anything like it, he'd have been tarred and feathered. ANd I used a ferw of very many examples. Even his own VP called him racist during the debates.
But I'd be happy to hear your 99% examples that show him as other.
TIA.
"But I'd be happy to hear your 99% examples that show him as other."
Subtract out all your examples from the 100% of his life and you'll get something much higher than 99%.
Here's one from 35 years ago, when he was supposedly at the peak of his racism. More compelling about how he stood on the issue in 1986 than all the other stuff about him being racist combined X 10.
Certainly impassioned speech, but actions speak louder than words. To put it kindly, his legislative track record has been less than friendly to minorities.
This is a double standard Tim.

In any event, who ever the pubs put up will instantaly become a corrupt, racist Nazi, because that's what the left does. They can't really run on policy which is why we saw/see so many 180's from Uncle Joe.

Had Trump had the personality of Bush, the left would have labeled him an idiot racist Nazi war criminal, just like they did Bush.

Racism has also been expanded. Any time you say anything negative about an approved protected minority, you are engaging in racism. If you have a white neighbor, you can call him lazy when he hasn't mowed his lawn in a month. But, if he's black, you are engaging in racism. If you question any action by BLM, you are a racist. If you don't believe in "White Privledge", you are racist. It used to be racism was when you said something like "All blacks are lazy", but not in this "woke" world.

I suspect they will not even notice. They'll be too busy focusing on the next "Corrupt, Stupid, NAZI Racist" be it Bush, Romney, Trump, (Insert name here). Only the name of the target changes, the epithets and rhetoric remain the same.

The end game is, and always has been, to get Trump out of office and losing at the ballot box is a mere set back. Once Trump is out of office, all kinds of things will disappear as the left shifts their focus to the next "Racist, Nazi Homophobe

Ya know, leftists hated Bush . He was a NAZI Racist corrupt white supremacist
It is by no stretch of the imagination a double standard.
Racism is when a person judges another based on his race.
There are many examples where the term "Racist" has been stretched beyond recognition. As I stated in one of the examples you quoted above... You can call your white neighbor lazy if he doesn't mow his lawn for a month, but if you call your black neighbor lazy for the same reason, you are racist. That is when I object to the use of the term "Racist" because it essentially strips the word of any real meaning..
Maybe I am wrong, but you seem to be implying that if I ever objected to the misuse of "racist", that disqualifies me from using the term when it legitimately applies.
On that, we'll need to agree to disagree.
you might be a racist if you happen to have 6 decades of facts to support such an argument. I know he is a democrat and there are no racists dems but if there were he sure seems like a likely candidate.
Nice to see you back mcfarm!
Our country has turned into 2 sides that go to their biased sources to read/hear about bad things that the other side did or might have done or meant to do, while receiving more positive, one sided feedback to bolster stratospheric over confidence about their sides infallibility.
Manufactured realities using subjective facts de jour on the daily political menu for both the right and left who have become pschologically addicted to getting their fix of the news told exactly how they like it.
While the MSM and other sources THRIVE on this environment, boosting ratings, circulation and internet hits, it continues to rip our country apart because we are being taught to intensely HATE people that have a different ideology than ours.
And it all starts with our politicians that provide the breeding grounds/sources as they intentionally manipulate people's minds with dishonest scheme's.............for power.

I have heard Biden say these things with my own ears. These are not biased, or misrepresented, they are a matter of public record.
We can debate whether his statements indicate prejudice/racism, I supose, but I suspect most objective observers would agree.
What I take issue with is you acusing me of havng a double standard, using several quotes from me, which BTW, in no way supported your claim, quite the contrary.
I am admittedly biased, but still try to apply consistent standards accross the board, regardless of the target.
Had Trump said "Poor kids are just as talented as white kids", I would be the first to admit that was a racist statement.
"Had Trump said "Poor kids are just as talented as white kids", I would be the first to admit that was a racist statement."
Tim,
Why persist?
Your example proves my point. An old man that makes tons of verbal gaffes and you twist one of his gaffes to use as proof that he's a racist?
After he made that gaffe, you weren't there to witness it. You got the interpretation of how to interpret it from all the right biased news sources that told us that it proves Biden is racist.
He said thousands of things before and after that including many, many things that tell us he clearly is not a racist.............but that one gaffe becomes the evidence that he's a racist?
Yes, because thats what people do when they don't have strong evidence to prove their case. They look for anything they can spin into their evidence.....then repeat it, over and over along with everybody else on that side.........until everybody just accepts it as a fact.
Then, they tell us that the other side is doing that............but not them.
Double standard.
Pick out the sources that you want to believe below to keep this subjective fact alive in your head.
However, this is what Biden actually said:
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/10/biden-poor-kids-bright-white-kids-1456296
“Look, I misspoke,” Biden told reporters at a gun violence forum here. “I meant to say ‘wealthy.’ I’ve said it 15 [times]. On the spot, I explained it. At that very second, I explained it. And so, the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I said I meant."
Tim,
You can choose to ignore his explanation........which makes 100% sense to me and I'm no Biden fan.
My "one of many examples" over many decades coupled with his legislative efforts proves my point. The fact that your are hinging your rebuttal with the claim that I am hanging my entire argument on one example is troubling.
And how wonderful that he can explain away his "mis-statement" after the fact. It's a luxury not granted to many.
But I'm done with this discussion.
Great!
Let’s go on to something more productive!
