    It would have kept your blood pressure at an even keel if you'd read through the entire exchange between myself and the OP before responding. Please see post 15.

    Yes, you are correct. Essentially Biden is saying just what you interpreted him as saying. But remember that their ideological agenda is the equivalent of true religion for these political leftists and fits in perfectly with their The Ends Justifies the Means philosophy. If the STUPID voters won't do what they have been -- um -- conditioned by a life time of social engineering efforts to do then a back door method will be used to accomplish the end goals. But remember that the justification for this methodology is that the leftist political leader always knows what's really best for a people . . . even when they don't. So . . . include the raw arrogance factor, and you've got it.

    Except concepts like equal rights and equal representation are a function of law, not Presidential edict.

    But there aren't laws governing the assembly of a POTUS administration. Nor should there be.

    In other words, you have no concept of culture and that we have different cultures in this country that are a function of color and race. You think the views of white people represent all views? Ooooooooookay

    The "assembly of a POTUS administration" has nothing to do with equal rights.

    It does if the incoming POTUS decides to use that criteria for assembling his/her administration.

    That doesn't mean as much as you think it does, otherwise Biden would never have been the sole standing nominee. A white male? In this day and age? Absurd! Whites are a minority in the Democratic Party and there shouldn't be a straight while male Democratic candidate again. The fact that the presumptive nominee with dementia is a straight while male tells me a lot more about what is going on in the party than a fake promise about diversity that you are swallowing whole.

    So, then, you are saying that Biden (if/when elected) will not assemble an administration of diversity?

    Culture shouldnt matter any more than skin color or race. what the **** do you not understand about everyone is equal? Identity politics is just a means of controlling the populace, a tool of tyrants.

    One can choose their culture regardless of their color and race. Culture is as valid of a reason to discriminate as religion (ex:KKK) and politics (ex:Nazism/Communism).

    I think he meant that he is aware that his mind will turn to complete mush in the next 2-4 years and he won't be able to serve out one term. Vote for him, and count on a transition of power from him to his VP....someone who will be younger and more black and female progressive.

    Meanwhile, if he does last against all odds, he won't fill his administration with a bunch of rich old white men who are like him. He will fill his administration with a bunch of rich young white men who are like him, like Buttigieg.

    Or, it's possible that he skipped a few lines that the speechwriter posted on the teleprompter, so his message ended up making no sense as usual.

    Oh I don't know, but I do know if it happens, it will be a white male doing it. That's the point.

    Culture is not a function of race, but of location. That is why you will find that a black person from the Bronx talks and acts a lot differently from a black person from Alabama. Why you'll find a white person in LA act and talk totally different from a white person raised in North Dakota. I could go on and on. People pick up their culture based on their environment, not their skin color. The day that we are all born, no matter what race we are, we are clean slates. We know absolutely nothing. It is being raised in a particular location or by people that were raised in a particular location that affects our "culture". Once someone moves out of a location their culture starts to change. Its much more noticeable among the young than the old.

    To think that every single person that is of X race has the same culture is what is racist. A black person in America is not going to have the same culture as a black person in Africa. A white person in Australia is not going to have the same culture as a white person in Europe. An Asian in South Korea isn't even going to have the same culture as an Asian in North Korea.

    It's racist to think that every person of the same color has the same culture.

    So you are confirming that you have no understanding of culture.

    Entirely different cultures can exist side by side in the same place. It is the norm.

    You can have different cultures move into an area however if after those initial cultures moved in and no other culture or person was ever allowed back in those original people would all meld into one culture. It would not matter what percentage of variously different skin colors you have. That is what would happen. Skin color has nothing to do with culture. Just like a persons brown hair would not affect culture. Or their blue eyes. Their square jaw. Connected ear lobes. None of that is relevant to culture. Those are just physical attributes. Culture is social. Not physical.

    He's trying to argue that culture and race are the same and as such having a diversity of different people of different colored skin in the administration means a diversity of culture and a diversity of ideas. He does not understand that you can have a diversity of color all having the same culture.

    Maybe he means by transitional, he is fully embracing the LGTBQ lifestyle and is stepping up to transitioning to a female.

    Like Trump did?

    The bulk of the country are straight white people, is that what he is going to make sure it represents? Mayor Pete certainly doesn't represent the bulk of the country what's he talking about? Heck he could never even get off the starting grid in his own party.
