<\/b>Like many politicians before, former Vice President Joe Biden\u00a0presents\u00a0himself as multi-dimensional and alluring character, worth of our admiration. And like many before, Biden occupies a position of power, upholding of the white patriarchy.<\/p>\n

But Biden, who is expected to be a presidential candidate in 2020, has recently come under fire following the March 27 publication of an essay revealing his alleged misconduct. The essay, penned by Lucy Flores, a former Nevada lieutenant governor nominee, recounts how Biden deeply inhaled the smell of her hair and proceeded to give her a \u201cbig slow kiss\u201d on the back of the head at a campaign event.<\/p>\n

The Spanish saying, \u201ctragame tierra,\u201d meaning \u201cearth, swallow me whole,\u201d used by Flores in her essay about the incident, embodies the emotions she felt immediately following the interaction. The Spanish saying may resound with anyone who has faced sexual harassment in the workplace and for it, knows the subsequential feelings of embarrassment and humiliation. Following Flores\u2019 essay, eight women have come forward recounting experiences with Biden that left them uneasy, and old articles have resurfaced documenting Biden\u2019s history of such behavior.<\/p>\n

This behavior, once excused with lighthearted headlines like, \u201cPhoto of famously friendly Joe Biden goes viral\u201d and \u201cJoe Biden: Sex Symbol?\u201d is being re-examined in the era of Me Too and #TimesUp\u2014not for the purpose of vilifying Biden, but in examination of the consequences of structures centered on power and privilege.<\/p>\n

Tarana Burke, the founder of Me Too, spoke to the core of a movement misconstrued by the famous hashtag #MeToo, tweeted by Hollywood actress, Alyssa Milano.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much of what we hear about the Me Too movement is about individual bad actors or depraved isolated behavior,\u201d Burke said during a Ted Talk. \u201cAnd it fails to recognize that anyone in a place of power is in a place of privilege. And it renders anyone without power more vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

This national conversation about Biden\u2019s behavior (for which he eventually offered a hollow \u201capology\u201d via video) has to move beyond the confines of the current paradigm where \u201csexual misconduct\u201d means outright sexual assault and nothing less. We must instead work to reshape conversations on a culture of sexual harassment, dependant on power hierarchies which silence victims.<\/p>\n

In her essay, Flores echoed Burke\u2019s words: \u201cI\u2019m not suggesting that Biden broke any laws, but the transgressions that society deems minor (or doesn\u2019t even see as transgressions) often feel considerable to the person on the receiving end. That imbalance of power and attention is the whole point- and the whole problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a lack of understanding about the way that power can turn something that might seem innocuous into something that can make somebody feel uncomfortable,\u201d said Ally Coll, a 2008 Democratic staffer who recalls brushing off an uncomfortable experience with Biden.<\/p>\n

In his two-minute non-apology video, Biden exemplified a shallow understanding of his behavior in context to his place of privileged power: \u201cIn my career, I\u2019ve always tried to make a human connection\u2014that\u2019s my responsibility, I think. I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, \u2018You can do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In highlighting his behavior towards both men and women, Biden exonerates himself from any public belief of gendered harassment. Biden presses forward to cite his history as a champion of women\u2019s rights, as though it would absolve him of responsibility for the privilege which comes with power, and its inherent ability to silence.<\/p>\n

In the video Biden vows to practice intentionality going forward, but he fails to directly apologize to those he made uncomfortable. This is especially problematic because of Biden\u2019s past history of non-apologies.<\/p>\n

Explaining his opposition to desegregation, Biden once told a Newark, Delaware newspaper: \u201cI do not buy the concept, popular in the \u201860s, which said, \u2018We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead: In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back. I don\u2019t buy that.\u201d<\/p>\n

This sentiment played out in the former Senator\u2019s voting record, his drafting of the infamous 1994 crime bill, a driving factor behind mass incarceration, and his vote for the Anti-Drug-Abuse Act of 1986, being a few examples among many.<\/p>\n

Later, at the National Action Network\u2019s Martin luther King Jr. breakfast, Biden attempted reconciliation:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I\u2019ve been in this fight for a long time\u2014I haven\u2019t always been right. I know we haven\u2019t always gotten things right, but I\u2019ve always tried.\u201d<\/p>\n

The acknowledgement of wrongdoing, but failure to directly apologize is classic Biden. He did the same thing with Anita Hill, and his role in failing her, and the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this day, I regret that I could not come up with a way to get her the kind of hearing she deserved, given the courage she showed by reaching out to us,\u201d Biden said, again acknowledging wrongdoing but failing to apologize directly to Hill (and wholly recognize the negative implications of his actions).<\/p>\n

Indeed Biden has spearheaded vital projects, examples found in the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, the 2014 \u201cIt’s On Us\u201d Initiative, and 2016 National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, but come the 2020 election instances of goodness must be thought of critically in context to instances of failure. In the roiling politics of today, a household name is not enough. And in a field of qualified candidates, all histories must be considered to ensure the election of a candidate who is for the American people, not a single ethnic group, or single gender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
