Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants reparations. She said so (here).

And people loved it.

White dude Beto O’Rourke — who inherited $5 million and married into $500 million — is railing against white privilege (here).

So how does Joe Biden fare in the woke, anti-white, pro-non-white department (here)?

Well, it ain’t lookin’ good.

In fact, there’s a surfaced newspaper clipping of Cozy Joe sayin’ he ain’t payin’ for the deeds of some dudes 300 years ago.

In fact, he’ll “be damned.”

Yes — damned!

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden in 1975 on reparations for blacks:

The Washington Post noted the 70’s interview in March, and on Thursday, the quote was even covered by Rolling Stone.

So how does that affect his bid for the Oval Office?

Given the contemporary climate of the Democratic Party, it can’t help.

This isn’t the only recent dig-up for Joltin’ Joe: Earlier in the week, he was outed for previously labeling homosexual federal employees “security risks” (here).

And this is his problem: a generational one. Joe Biden was born in 1942, and he’s vying for the top spot within a political party that’s breaking its neck to be so 2019. The Left’s been knocking down monuments and revising history. It’s denounced the founding fathers and tried to remove John Wayne from an airport. Over the decades, surely Biden has said and done things that’d be DNC deal-breakers in the modern era.

And rest assured the man has competitors who’ll be more than happy to float those outdated ideas.

He made it through elections as VP. But President is a whole other ballgame.

Stay tuned.

For now, here’s this:

There is an interesting dynamic in the Democratic primaries that has to do with @JoeBiden, who opposed government attempts at the integration of schools through busing, and @KamalaHarris, who experienced it as a child and feels she benefited from it.

2/ I asked Sen. Harris about it in January and she said it was the first time she’d heard that as a Senator, Biden opposed busing. pic.twitter.com/ZFhrkGfoRR

3/ Harris was asked about it again today by CNN’s Jasmine Wright, who brought up a recent WaPo article that highlighted an interview Biden did in 1975 discussing Delaware’s school desegregation plan.https://t.co/3FRrHJ9KYD

4/ In that WaPo story, Biden was quoted saying in 1975: “I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers….

5/ “… In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race.’…I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather….

6/ “… I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”
