'Some black woman': Video of Joe Biden saying why people stayed home during pandemic goes viral
2020-10-07
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Democratic nominee for president Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island...
 attributed people's ability to stay home during the pandemic to "some black woman" stocking grocery store shelves.

"The American public, the blinders have been taken off. They've all of a sudden seen a helluva lot clearer," Biden said on Sept. 15 in Tampa at a campaign event with veterans. "They’ve seen, 'Geez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.’"

"Or 'A young Hispanic is out there, these DREAMers are out there, 60,000 of them, acting as first responders, and nurses and docs.' Or, all of a sudden, people are realizing, ’My Lord, these people have done so much, not just black, white, across the board, have done so much for me. We can do this. We can get things done.'"

Clips of the video are circulating on Twitter this week, garnering nearly 1 million views as the election gets down to its final days.

#3   'Geez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.’

He's right, you know. 'Some black woman' is a placeholder for the millions of essential, non-elite workers (farmers, truck drivers, refinery workers, linemen, Amazon packers etc.) who took the risk (whatever that turns out to have been) that enabled the rest of the country to stay home and defend their moral high ground...

#2  Former Senator from Delaware, a slave state, that didn't leave the union thus unaffected by the Emancipation Proclamation but affected by the 13th Amendment.

As the rest of the country acted to abolish slavery by ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment, states such as Delaware, Kentucky, and the Territory of Oklahoma refused to ratify. Delaware's General Assembly refused to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, calling it an illegal extension of federal power over the state.

Delaware rejected several previous proposals to abolish slavery, including Lincoln's 1861 proposal to compensate Delaware's slaveholders using federal funds if they would free the Black people they held in bondage. The Delaware legislature replied to Lincoln's proposal with a resolution stating that "when the people of Delaware desire to abolish slavery within her borders, they will do so in their own way, having due regard to strict equity."

Not only did the Delaware legislature reject initial ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, but it also rejected the Fourteenth Amendment of 1868 and the Fifteenth Amendment of 1870, which extended civil rights and voting privileges, respectively, to Black people, including the formerly enslaved. Finally, on February 12, 1901, Delaware ratified the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery–more than thirty years after the rest of the nation.
