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

Did Nancy give the ‘tear down this wall speech’?

No, he read it, remember, he was an actor by profession

You actually think a substantial number of black Americans are going to vote for Trump?

I don’t know, but what do they have to lose?

It’s pretty clear Biden takes their vote for granted.

BET Founder Robert Johnson: Joe Biden ‘Should Spend the Rest of His Campaign Apologizing to Every Black Person He Meets’

BET co-founder Robert Johnson has condemned Joe Biden for claiming that black people aren’t really black if they don’t vote for him.

“VP Biden’s statement today represents the arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not Black unless they vote for him,” Johnson said in a statement obtained by Fox News’s Bret Baier.

“This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though, we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets.”

It’s pretty clear Biden takes their vote for granted.

As well as every other Democrat candidate. Sadly though, they are generally right.

Would be Biden be the first literal puppet president?

I don't know. Bush II seemed to take a lot of bad advice.

Of course he read the speech.

You really think there were people behind Reagan instructing him confront the Soviets? Reagan had a vision.

Biden wants to check the box and he’d be more than happy to step aside once elected. So we’d have unelected officials basically running the show. Some representative republic. And some people are ok with this.

Post came on this morning, and I watched the interview, given the total context, it wasn't as horrific as "anatta" presented it as at that time.

And perhaps they are pissed, but if they vote in November, which the appeal of the Obamas will be effective, do you actually think they are going to use this moment to pull the lever for Trump?

People will vote however they want to vote. And isn’t your comment “perhaps they are pissed” but will fall in line and vote how they are supposed to the same mindset? Biden’s comment isn’t going to make people vote for Trump. It could make some people more reluctant to vote for him but time will determine that.

But it’s the mindset of what he said. Does any other race get questioned like this? Do whites, Hispanics or Asians get accused of not being their race based on how they vote? That’s the basis of Biden’s comment.

He did, but it was advice.

And say what you will about him, Bush did an excellent job of leading the country after the 9-11. Until he started following bad advice.

Bush was close. Iraq wasn't really his war - he was manipulated by PNAC & Cheney.

I'm cool w/ Biden being a figurehead. I'd rather have a gov't of a group of competent people over 1 incompetent person who thinks he alone can fix it.

"Competent" people completely fucked up Libya beyond all repair setting off all that refugee crisis in Europe, which fucked up Germany permanently (with lots of help from Merkel).

911 was incredibly bad luck for Bush, like the WuFlu is for Trump. Bush was on the right track with privatization of social security which got completely derailed.

Well, Democrats have spent about two decades cultivating that sort of thing.

The whole idea behind identity politics—is politics gets tied to identity. Blacks ‘are supposed’ to be Democrats. For reasons that aren’t particularly clear lol. And they are becoming less clear.

Whites aren’t historically linked to either party but Democrats have ‘owned’ [is that the right word?] the black vote since LBJ. An old school Democrat like Biden is used to ‘saying the right things’ to blacks and bingo—got the black vote.

If a significant number of blacks ever start to see through that Democrats will be in deep doo-doo.

I AGREE ...

If you’re BLACK and you’re having trouble figuring out who’s The Life-Long RACIST and BIGOT ... then you Ain’t BLACK

[Bourbon]

Yea ... take this to your RED States

The Democrats are for the Blacks much like the Republicans are for the rich. So yeah, if you're black but not rich and you're voting for Republicans, then you're pretty cucked.
