Joe Biden’s disastrous interview with black radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Friday encapsulates everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party and its presidential hopeful.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, you ain’t black,” the former vice president blurted out at the end of the interview.
It was a statement so staggeringly, primitively racist, that it landed like a gut punch to many black Americans, of all political persuasions, who took to the airwaves to denounce it over the weekend.
“It played into the long-standing notion that the black vote is uncritical and guaranteed,” said left-wing writer Roxane Gay.
Former NFL player Jack Brewer declared “the mask is off.”
“Pure unadulterated hubris, the taking for granted of the black vote,” said ex-Bernie Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner, one of many who took issue with Biden’s patronizing use of the ungrammatical “ain’t.”
Attempts by the Biden campaign to claim the comment was made “in jest” were futile, even as Democratic-friendly media such as CNN ignored the story.
Biden’s attempt at damage control also fell flat. Perhaps he was “too cavalier,” he mused, and shouldn’t have been a “wise guy.”
Neither of those descriptions is accurate. Biden clearly was annoyed by abrasive questions from Charlamagne, whose breakfast show attracts more than 4 million young black listeners.

Hey, I'm so white that the sun hurts my skin, but this racist plantation talk from Biden pisses me off.
ReplyDelete(Or, for any grammarians reading this, off it does piss me.)
Better to be pissed off, than to be the one on which someone pisses.
DeleteHe is a vessel that is why Obamagate chose him. Now Soros has both hooks in. Like to see him in front of a massive rowdy crowd. It will be so funny
ReplyDeleteBeing a dumb ass white guy, I can’t believe the blacks can be so gullible. Most have let the crats hold them back while telling them they are helping them. Not all now, many do think for themselves. The crats think of one thing and that would be themselves. Look at the greed, it’s right before you.
ReplyDeleteCornrow Joe!
ReplyDeleteLet's face it, Biden blurted out the remark so casually and naturally he sounded every bit the plantation owner.
