Near the very end of a recent radio interview, Joe Biden daffily said to interviewer Charlamagne tha God:* "Well, I tell you what: if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
Tim Pool finds the gaffe-tastic situation hilarious:
Styx actually sympathizes with Biden and agrees that Biden was probably joking. That said, Biden's dumb comment and the furor around it expose all sorts of hypocrisy:
Many on the left seem not to recognize just how arrogant the left, as a whole, can be toward black people. There's a racist assumption on the left that blacks will automatically, reliably vote Democrat, and when a black person declares him- or herself a conservative or a Republican, then out come the racial slurs—the very same slurs that liberals claim to deplore. As I've written before, the right definitely has a bigotry problem and needs to clean house, but the same is just as true for the left. I'd understand any black person who says "Fuck you both" and walks away from both the left and the right.
*Charlamagne [sic] tha God is the same interviewer who gained notoriety for grilling Elizabeth Warren about her attempts at passing herself off as Native American. Charlemagne accused Warren of being another Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who identifies as black. Warren, who isn't adept at discussion or debate, was left temporarily speechless.
