Biden was joking around. 

I get the joke. 

So do the vast majority of black people that would vote for a cabbage rather than 45.

It was not a racist comment.

In fact playing around like that will tend to gin up  the black vote for Biden. 

Here's the problem - We want a president who can think on his feet. I don't care WHAT the context was, those words should NEVER have been uttered. Anyone supposedly experienced and savvy enough would have known this. Biden is a sleepy, creepy one percenter who is WAY past his expiration date. BTW, you DO realize Biden is courting Jamie Dimon (CEO of JPMorgan Chase) and Michael Bloomberg (billionaire loser) for positions in his cabinet? How's THAT for progressive?

Had Trump said the opposite this thread, IMO, would be full of outraged anti Trumpers telling us how racist he is. So far nothing on those lines. Perhaps it depends on which way one votes as to how racist anything is.

 

You don't get to call the shots. We are the new left, we alone decide what is racist or not. Further more we decide what is xenophobic, homophobic or anti-granular sentiments towards vegans.

 

You will learn we will tell you where to swim, what beach to go on, if you can run a business, so don't get too concerned with individual choice. 

 

I am beginning to lean towards NY and CA would just go their own way because there is no way in hell anybody here will join. We have just witnessed peak NYC and CA. To top it off we have this idiot who doesn't understand China is NOT our FRIEND.

This is simply no big deal. 

45 does much worse several times a day. 

Biden only has to be not 45.

45 in his campaign often said to his black people what do you have to lose by trying him out. 

We know the answer now.

Their lives.

Any black person that would even consider voting for 45 now may well be black but that's about all the positives you can say about them.

That statement became less true the moment Machine Gun Joe said it. He only lost votes, if you think that statement gained him votes you are crazy. He isn't woke enough.

I assume you're not talking about trump, who until very recently was a 'friend' of China.

 

Some recent and not so recent Biden comments concerning China...

 

on February 25, former Vice President Joe Biden showed his assertiveness toward Xi Jinping, the head of state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Biden blasted Xi as a “thug” who “has a million Uighurs in ‘reconstruction camps,’ meaning concentration camps.” He also spoke critically of Xi’s handling of protests in Hong Kong, saying, “This is a guy who is — doesn’t have a democratic, with a small D, bone in his body".

All Biden has to do to win in November is KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT! I guess he's not capable of even that little thing. SMH!

Really? Maybe you meant all he had to do was keep his mouth shut from at least a year ago or longer, because it's far too late to keep it shut now because the damage from only one session is enough to destroy his chances. All the Democrats know it too, but they won't admit it... yet.

I don't think too many Black folks will vote for Trump, though there will be some. The damage Biden made for himself is that he gave more than he can afford to lose a reason to stay home on election day.  He's suppressing his own voting bloc.

 

Seen on Twitter:  "every three weeks Biden exits the basement, tells people not to vote for him, and disappears again".

Impolitic at best, but sadly true. It reeks of the Stockholm Syndrome for any minority to vote for Trump.

Well , they will have a chance to vote for a cabbage if he makes it until November

Or worse, said to a White person, that they "ain't White" if they're not voting for him.

At the risk of repeating myself, Trump's racist remarks have been so overwhelming that the general populace has become numb to them. And this is a dangerous thing!

Well, whomever the DNC assigns him as his VP needs to be able to, not only take over on Inauguration day, but also give the Inaugural speech as well

[Curt1591]

Maybe they should simply post a photo of Joe during these chats due to" technical difficulties". Then, get a Biden impersonator to field the questions.

It's a bit of an insult to Reagan to put these two together in the same photo. Reagan was an extraordinary orator. Biden can't speak, period. Reagan knew how to tell a joke. Biden just puts his foot in his mouth every time he makes an attempt at humor.

Or like when I say I am gay and people here say something like I sound like a guy who claims to have gays for friends. Once you can not bow down to these people they will attack you no matter who you are. I have never seen an angrier bunch.

Both were senile but only one will ever be studied by scholars or remembered. Pardon the pun.

[johnnybangkok]

Just look at all of the Trump fans absolutely creaming their pants at Bidens slightly racist gaff. We've had nearly 4 years of Trump's racism, bigotry, mysogyny, homophobia and religious prejudice on an almost daily basis but yeah, Biden's a racist for an off the cuff, ill advised remark.

The hypocracy knows no bounds.

I watched a Biden interview last night on the Colbert "A Late Show." Even giving him some credit due to his stuttering, you could see him lagging towards the end of a 20 minute stint of having to pay attention. The DNC just isn't getting it. Say what you will about Bernie, he would have gotten the Independents (the largest of ALL voting groups!) out to vote. At this point it doesn't matter who Biden picks for VP (is Hillary dead yet?), he's going down like the Hindenburg.

[lannarebirth]

I listened to the interview. The thing that struck me was that Biden thought Charlamagne should be grateful that he had voted to extend the Voting Rights Act by 25 years.  I was wondering why it had an expiration date in the first place.

Plus the fact that he apologize while Trump never ever did and most times double down and throw insults and intimidate those who pointed that out to him.
