"you ain't black" if "you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump."

Joe Biden defended on Friday his ties to the African American community during an interview with Charlamagne tha God on the radio show "The Breakfast Club," saying that "you ain't black" if "you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or [President] Trump."

Why it matters: The show has become a popular venue for Democratic candidates to sell their message to black voters during this election cycle, given its young, diverse audience and wide syndication.

The former vice president's comments came just after Charlamagne challenged him on his record on racial issues — and pressed him on whether he would select a black woman as his running mate.

Biden senior adviser Synome Sanders later tweeted that his comments were made "in jest," adding that " he was making the distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up against Trump’s any day. Period."

The exchange:

Charlamagne: "They feel since black women are such a loyal voting bloc, and black people saved your political life in the primaries this year — they have things they want from you. And one of them is a black woman running mate. What do you say to them?"

Biden: "What I say to them is I’m not acknowledging anybody who is being considered, but I guarantee you: There are multiple black women being considered. Multiple."

Biden aide [interjecting]: "Thank you so much. That’s really our time. I apologize."


Charlamagne: "You can't do that to black media."
Biden: "I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock. [looks at watch] Ooh, uh oh, I'm in trouble."

Charlamagne: "Listen, you’ve got to come see us when you come to New York, V.P. Biden. It's a long way until November. We've got more questions."

Biden: "You’ve got more questions. Well, I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."

Charlamagne: "It don't have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact I want something for my community. I would love to see — "

Biden: "Take a look at my record, man. I extended the Voting Right Act 25 years. I have a record that is second-to-none. The NAACP has endorsed me every time I've run. I mean, come on. Take a look at the record."

Worth noting: As Charlamagne hinted during their exchange, Biden owes his status as the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential nominee to his primary win in South Carolina, which was largely driven by his wide support among black voters in the state and the support of its "kingmaker," Rep. Jim Clyburn.


Dumb as a stump or wot???

Take blacks for granted , so much so they don't even need to give them personal respect as thinking humans, or wot?

It just keeps getting worse

Same interview Biden Says “No” When Asked If His Plan Is Called “Lift Every Voice”

As you probably already guessed, that IS the name of his plan.


One appropriate comment - " What about white America Joe?? What’s the plan for them? "

Biden doesn't even know his own plan.

Same in Canada, there are no politicians/parties that I like. There are a handful of progressive billionaires that control our joke of a "democracy". Having said that, your president is the first US president in my lifetime who has the backs of working people.

In efforts to slither out of it, he digs the hole deeper

It just keeps getting stupider - It appears he actually believes his fantasies

The NAACP on Friday pushed back on a claim by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden that the civil rights organization had endorsed him “every time I’ve run” -- stating that the group never endorses any political candidate.

“Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a comment about the NAACP’s endorsement,” the statement by Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, said. “We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse candidates for political office at any level.”

“every time" I say" .. “every time"

Perhaps when he was running for office in South Africa when he was on the same ticket as Nelson Mandela. After South African police arrested him.

Joe Biden's phony comments remind me so much of Justin Trudeau.

This one will not be going away for Joe.

Interviewer, a black says Biden an 'intricate part' of system that 'needs to be dismantled':

'What have you done for me, lately?'

“I see black communities all across America catching hell regardless of who is in the White House,” the radio host told The Hill on Saturday. “Because we have a bunch of underlying conditions created by systemic racism that have never been fixed.”

“The whole system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt, and he’s been a very intricate part of that system," Charlamagne tha God -- whose name is Lenard Larry McKelvey -- said of Biden.


[He cannot slither out of it because he said EXACTLY what he felt - and EVERYONE not totally incapacitated with TDS knows it

Saying what he felt is an insult to all black's intelligence - in effect, that they must remain slaves to his party .. and he's not alone in his party - seems most all of them think that and "expect" blacks to vote for them]

Only a slimebag demicRAT could get away with these condescending remarks.

Biden Suggests Black Trump Supporters ‘Ain’t Black,’ Diddy Tells Biden ‘The Black Vote Ain’t Free’
https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/22/didd ... DX7bcJZcQq
Rapper and songwriter Sean Combs, aka “Diddy,” told former Vice President and current presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that “the black vote ain’t free” after Biden made some controversial comments during a Breakfast Club interview Friday.

A viral video shows Biden telling radio host Charlamagne Tha God that “if you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.” The host responded that “It don’t have nothing to do with Trump, it has to do with the fact — I want something for my community.”

The videos have sparked strong reactions, including one from popular American rapper Diddy, who told Biden in a tweet that “the black vote ain’t free.”

Shortly after the video surfaced, #YouAintBlack trended on Twitter as users criticized Biden’s remarks.

On Fox News, Senator Tim Scott said Biden’s comment was “the most arrogant, condescending comment I have heard in a very long time.”

From the Trump campaign.

"White liberal elitists have continuously dictated which black Americans are allowed to come to the table and have a voice. It is clear now more than ever, following these racist and dehumanizing remarks, that Joe Biden believes black men and women are incapable of being independent or freethinking. He truly believes that a 77-year-old white man should dictate how black people should behave. Biden has a history of racial condescension, and today he once again proved that a growing number of black Americans, and I’ve always known Joe Biden does not deserve our votes."

The Trump campaign is one hundred per cent correct.
