So Joe Biden was on The Breakfast club: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." [UP: Apologizes]

LOL I'm talking about policy not likability, see this is my problem with you culture warriors. The policy really doesn't mean much to you, its more about what is in the hearts and minds of people that you think enacts change. No its always policy, whites have been just as racist as they were in the 60s but policy has made it so its not acceptable to do what they used to do. They didn't have a change of heart en masse like you may think. So you may be an old person but a naive old person
sometimes, shutting up and Reading the room is the best course of action.
im not calling you names because you're defending him, alone. That's not it. I'm calling you names because you don't understand why the rest of us don't wanna hear you say shit to defend him. Copping pleas for this geriatric white man who if he saw you on the street wouldn't know you from LenardThaGod his damn self. It's embarrassing. And that's why you in the house.
"Please vote for my master, he only calls you a coon not like the other master who uses his whip" its embarrassing
Its a mix and I don't think people by large have had changes of heart. We're as racially divided as ever. Policy changes without changes of heart gets you America today post civil rights act. You can't legislate racism out of existance.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt given the context, I really hope he just meant to say that as in access to literature, because of not holy shit
Of course not, Joe is the most electable(or something), shifted the primaries by a tactical maneuver of the establishment, It's not like there is a way we could challenge this at the convention(there is). Guys, we just need to support him because my pundit brain keeps telling me all the same wrong shit election after election and how could it ever be wrong? Except every time it is
I don't know which option is more depressing; he either said this off the cuff or this was a planned/vetted moment from his team.
yeah that whole section is a mess. Idk how people can declare the "rest of the interview" to be a success.
The ironic part about this statement is that my generation of "house negros" have shed more blood and got more progress than your generation of Twitter crying field babies could dream about but cool whatever.
Seriously invoking Malcom X to defend Biden? You realize Malcom X would've fucking hated this man, right?
Like given that the majority of prisoners are likely illiterate I can see myself getting to a frustrated-enough point in an argument that I would eventually be shouting shit like "BECAUSE. THEY. CAN'T. READ." but by God is it unsettling to see him opening his discussion in such an un-nuanced way, especially under the pretense that he's talking to the communities that the prison populations are taken from!
Blame most Americans for either voting for Biden as the nominee or being too lazy to not show up to vote for Bernie. The DNC didn't pick Biden.
I was curious what was said so I searched for replies @ that user + "slave" and there's literally only one person between her initial tweets on the topic and her accusation that leftists were calling her a slave.
Wonder how he spoke when Obama was in the same room but the two of them were behind closed doors.
Well he is a major reason why so many people (particularly black people) are in prison in this country so his abject disdain for the rights of the incarcerated is unsurprising.
Who is going to challenge him? Everyone has dropped out of the race and endorsed him.
Apparently he's actually arguing for making the justice system rehabilitation-based instead of retribution-based, it's just - in clear Joe fashion - he decides to express it in the worst way imaginable.
It's worse than that. Most Democrats engage, election after election, in this contorted pundit brain bull shit that prioritizes appealing to this imaginary caricature of the average voter, and then when they all collectively buy into their bullshit just enough in a primary, they use that as proof of concept.
Then the General happens and suddenly none of them can grasp why it is Kerry/Clinton/Biden are such terrible fucking nominees.
They lack the charisma and/or a sect of core voter support to weather attacks, and the opposition is able to capitalize on their weakness and lack of charisma to depress the one sect of voters that matter, which is their base enthusiasm and moderates.
So then all the Republicans have to do is show up and get their base fired up.
Look, you do realize you do not have to defend this comment, right? Like you can be fine voting for Biden despite this comment, it can not matter that much to you, but you do not HAVE TO try and defend the indefensible.
This guy is going to fuck it up. "Oh no one will ever vote for Bernie!"... yeah Bernie's not looking so bad right now huh? Just wait till the real electioneering starts and they start flinging real shit at Biden. He's fucked. He won't be up to it. This is just the beginning. Prepare for Emperor Trump.
I'm not sure he actually believes in that but if he does and he actually takes steps to make our system rehabilitative then good. I hope to see it, not counting on it though.
This. Malcolm X and the Black Panther's initial views on segregation were rooted and based on lived experiences of black people and their interactions with a largely-hostile white populace, not on the value system that led to the systems of oppression that created both those experiences and the hostile white populace, or even the explicitly xenophobic views that seem to be increasingly common from the #FBA crowd. Very much night and day.
No amount of handlers would be able to fix something that's been consistently broken as Joe Biden has been for the past 30 years.
It's foolish to expect them to either.
We had a fucking primary. I caucused for Bernie and he won in my state.
Bernie dropped out and endorsed Biden in April.
More people needed to vote for Bernie when it mattered. Right now, he's out of the race and focusing on other things.
That bottom (first, I suppose, by Twitter timeline rules) tweet is amazing. Yes people are complaining about both things because both things are racist.
They are not equally racist but they are both racist.
So you think that multiple losses in voting rights recently, severe blows to affirmative action, the drug war, giving cops more power, and gerrymandering had less to do with Trump being elected then white people being racist post Obama. Seriously you don't think outlawing the klan and other white supremacists groups from intimidating and beating up people at the voting booths had a ton to do with how people voted and what the state of the country was.
I would have voted for Obama a third-time, if I could, diggity dawg!
Like please shut your old white ass up.

I don't know what Malcolm would've thought about Biden. But I only brought up someone black who thought well of segregation because uniformed people here present it as a white supremacist only position.
Whats understood doesn't have to be explained
But again I know yall have twitter activism today so let me pipe down
I agree Bernie would have been a better candidate, but you're kidding yourself if you think this will do anything to Biden.
The guy is up on Trump in most polls, and i'm talking about battleground polls unlike Hillary. He got the black vote even after kamala killed him on the busing stuff. Yes I know polls don't matter because of 2016 to everyone, but polls is what we have until November.
Twitter/Era is not the electorate. Bernie would have been the candidate if that was case.

oh you was a panther? And you defending joe Biden telling us we aint black if we don't vote for him?
Huey Newton rolling over in his fucking grave. Somehow I didn't think you could become more embarrassing but delishis, this is even worse of a look for you!
Brought to you by the man who has other classics like "poor kids are just as smart as white kids"
This guy tries so hard to hide his racism but is so bad at it that it keeps slipping
