That’s more racist than any public statement from Trump. When are people going to wake up to the Dems identity politics? I hope this is the flashpoint moment.Joe Biden: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
That’s funny. This is the same guy that said “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,”That’s more racist than any public statement from Trump. When are people going to wake up to the Dems identity politics? I hope this is the flashpoint moment.
wowJoe Biden: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
No way this is real...Joe Biden: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
I think refusing to rent apartments to African Americans is probably more racist than that comment but that’s just me.That’s more racist than any public statement from Trump. When are people going to wake up to the Dems identity politics? I hope this is the flashpoint moment.
Nice try. 1970’s?I think refusing to rent apartments to African Americans is probably more racist than that comment but that’s just me.
Few things...Biden's comment is dumb, really awful...but hardly actual racism.Nice try. 1970’s?
Amazing how you can still carry Biden’s bag with after an overtly racist comment, a credible sexual assault claim from his time as a Senator, and obvious mental decline.Few things...Biden's comment is dumb, really awful...but hardly actual racism.
Acting as if Trump's racial issues are just the 70s? Also pretty bad.
Well...not much of what you claim is actually true here. Im also no fan of Biden...just pointing out the flaws in your post.Amazing how you can still carry Biden’s bag with after an overtly racist comment, a credible sexual assault claim from his time as a Senator, and obvious mental decline.
WI: Biden 48% (+10) Trump 38%As part of its research into the 2020 Presidential Election, Redfield & Wilton Strategies conducted polls of registered voters in six key states: Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. All six of these states were won by Donald Trump in 2016. With the exception of Arizona and North Carolina, these states were also won by Barack Obama in 2012. It is highly likely that the result of the 2020 election will be determined by these so-called swing states.
Is that after his comment?
May 20th. Trump calling Obama "incompetent" when asked about his commencement speech - which IIRC was the leading ratings-getter for the period? - is gonna stick a lot harder than Biden appearing on The Breakfast Club, which just appearing on it is a net positive.Is that after his comment?
The Democrats stopped delivering results for the black community a long time ago IMHO. Trump did deliver jobs and some reforms. In terms of jobs, illegal immigration reduces wages and employment which disproportionately impacts the black community.timschochet said:Biden’s latest comment is rather similar to many of Trump’s comments in 2016 (and since): he’s saying what a whole lot of his base really think: a black person should be a Democrat, and if you’re black but not a Democrat you’re not really part of the black community.
Most people don’t want to say this out loud but there’s no denying that it’s a strong belief among both African-Americans and Democrats and it has forged blacks into by far the most powerful minority group in the country because they vote as a unified bloc. Those who are shocked or outraged by such talk are likely to already be in the conservative or pro-Trump column. I don’t think this will hurt Biden at all.
Do you actually believe that comment is going to cost him support there?Is that after his comment?
Are you going to cite the Minority Unemployment rate and give Trump credit? Ignoring the trend of that from well before he took office?The Democrats stopped delivering results for the black community a long time ago IMHO. Trump did deliver jobs and some reforms. In terms of jobs, illegal immigration reduces wages and employment which disproportionately impacts the black community.
I think the African American voting block is not going to race to the polls to vote for Biden. As he makes more racist and stupid comments he will lose more support. They’ll just stay home or join Blexit.Do you actually believe that comment is going to cost him support there?
Not going to debate this with you as it’s not relevant to the thread. What IS relevant is this: the vast majority of blacks, based on strong and consistent polling over the years, disagree with you.The Democrats stopped delivering results for the black community a long time ago IMHO. Trump did deliver jobs and some reforms. In terms of jobs, illegal immigration reduces wages and employment which disproportionately impacts the black community.
I also guarantee that if Biden wins the election, on January 21, 2020, Sam and his brethren will flip script on just about every claim they presently give Trump credit for.Are you going to cite the Minority Unemployment rate and give Trump credit?

I think many black voters are shaking their head in agreement with BidenI think the African American voting block is not going to race to the polls to vote for Biden. As he makes more racist and stupid comments he will lose more support. They’ll just stay home or join Blexit.
I strongly disagree with you...and the Blexit thing was always far overstated by your little buddy. They know the alternative...they are smart enough to know his responsibility for the unemployment rate was pretty much nothing. That block seem to like Joe and are the reason he is the nominee.I think the African American voting block is not going to race to the polls to vote for Biden. As he makes more racist and stupid comments he will lose more support. They’ll just stay home or join Blexit.
Do you truly believe this? Because every poll very consistently suggests the exact opposite of what you wrote. And don’t forget that it’s black voters who basically decided that Joe Biden would be the nominee. He’s their hand picked candidate.I think the African American voting block is not going to race to the polls to vote for Biden. As he makes more racist and stupid comments he will lose more support.

I'd be really curious how many urban campaigns Trumpists have seen as a local.I think many black voters are shaking their head in agreement with Biden
wealthy Democrats decided on Biden .... they're the ones that poured money into his campaignAnd don’t forget that it’s black voters who basically decided that Joe Biden would be the nominee. He’s their hand picked candidate.
And demanded they kneecap everyone else.wealthy Democrats decided on Biden .... they're the ones that poured money into his campaign
Look at the exit polling in the South...there is a reason its not Bernie or Mayor Pete right now.wealthy Democrats decided on Biden .... they're the ones that poured money into his campaign

Have many defended the comment?Dems defending race shaming. Every day is an adventure here.
Is there anything Biden could say at this time that is actually shocking? He’s Cotton Hill at this point.I just watched most of the interview. The host doesn’t even bat an eye when he says it.
He could have tested positively tested towards negative after injecting bleach.Is there anything Biden could say at this time that is actually shocking? He’s Cotton Hill at this point.
It doesn’t need its own thread. It would soon be filled with but Trump but Trump but TrumpHow does that interview not have its own thread? Min 5 threads would have been started by now if Trump did this.
Correct, the black vote for Democrats is assumed and taken for granted by the party. Today though, the assumption was verbalized and flaunted. We'll see if flat out being told their vote is assumed will turn off black voters. It probably won't, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea for Joe Biden to recklessly boast about it.Not going to debate this with you as it’s not relevant to the thread. What IS relevant is this: the vast majority of blacks, based on strong and consistent polling over the years, disagree with you.
I wouldn’t say defend. I would say downplay and dismiss. It’s tiring really. Anytime a Democrat is criticized, even rightfully so, it turns into Trump did this and this.Have many defended the comment?
I think the talk is more now how much it will really affect him.
Few things...how is it racist...dumb, callous even maybe, but racist?This forum is ridiculous. Biden says something that is clearly racist and it gets down played and we are told in fact, it is not racist. And then we go on and on about trump trump trump.
