This reminds us of the time President Joe Biden said that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.” And also of the time that Biden informed us that the difference between white and black entrepreneurs is that young black entrepreneurs don’t have lawyers and accountants. And also of the time that Biden addressed the racial disparity in COVID-19 vaccinations. The Associated Press was more than happy to rush out a fact-check:

There are fewer Black Americans being vaccinated than whites, AP reporting has found. Experts have cited several factors that could contribute to the emerging disparity, such as a deep-rooted mistrust of the medical establishment among Black Americans due to a history of discriminatory treatment. Predominantly Black neighborhoods have inadequate access to the vaccine, and a digital divide makes it difficult for people to get crucial information, especially when vaccination sign-ups are largely being done online.

Ah, the digital divide. Like when Biden asked a mostly black crowd if they remembered sitting in the parking lot of McDonald’s to sponge off their wifi during the COVID lockdowns. What were they connecting? Their laptops.

Was it just this editor, or was every single person in the Black Lives Matter protests holding up an iPhone and recording video of the arson and riots? Maybe they were Obamaphones.

As we reported earlier, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Monday, “Right now we have, you know, young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is.” 

Brian Krassenstein, who now tweets every post in the form of a question to farm engagement, decided to go to bat for Hochul, saying what she said wasn’t racist at all.

“… but in an effort to not hang on the word, she just threw out a word like computer. 

Saying that a lot of people of a certain race who are less well off in the Bronx don’t have a strong vocabulary isn’t racist in my opinion. It’s pointing out the socioeconomic dynamic of the area and how it impacts education based on race. Her intentions are to make sure these people get a better education. Stop concentrating on the wrong things and start trying to solve the problems.

We are trying to solve problems … like the soft bigotry of low expectations. 

Digging further:

“We should be making it easier as long as it’s safe, which, from the past, it appears to be very safe.”

Courts have actually ruled that voter ID is racist, even when provided free at the DMV. Blacks don’t have cars they can drive to get an ID.

He’s sure of it, guys.

There are no computers in the public schools, and kids have never seen one?

This editor lives down the street from a library that has lots of computers for people to use. Or do they not know the word “library” either?
