The right wing is projecting their own feelings and motivations on to Biden. They have neatly categorized the country into the groups that are good (white Christian republicans) and bad (people of color and their fellow traveler democrats). This was no more apparent than the reaction of the right to the killing of Jordan Neely in New York. Obviously Mr. Neely was "bad" because of his color and his state of homelessness therefore it was perfectly acceptable for the "good" Mr. Daniels to dispatch him. I make no judgement of Mr. Daniels here, that is for the law to do. However IF their roles had been reversed and say Mr. Neely was minding his own business and Mr. Daniels experienced a mental health crisis, maybe PTSD triggered flashbacks, and Mr. Neely felt it necessary to subdue him and that resulted in Mr. Daniels death, what do you think the reaction would be?
What would the reaction be if skin color had been the reverse of what it was? In the first place, the black-skinned restrainer would still be in jail and there would be no $1M (and swelling) fund raised for his defense, and "conservative" media would be hair-on-fire demanding immediate execution of black man. Any "fair trial" can wait.
