More proof that DemocRats think that there is no diversity of thought within the black community. To DemocRats they all look alike anyway.

I didn’t see where he clarified what he DID MEAN....

Can anyone find the Montreal Cognitive Test online? I’ve looked and I’m unable to find it. It’s the one that was mentioned a few days ago.

“”It’s this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place.””

If he truly believes that, then what’s the pandering to the black community all about? Everything seems to be humming along just fine so what’s the problem, Joe? WHY the urge to further TRANSFORM the country started by that guy who sat in the WH for 8 years?

These two quotes from his run in 1987 are telling.

On September 22, Biden admitted (or at least didn’t dispute) he misstated facts about his scholarship, degrees, and academic honors. He also explained to The New York Times, “I exaggerate when I’m angry.”

On September 17 on copying RFK speech

“I’ve done some dumb things, and I’ll do dumb things again. I’ve done some dumb things as senator, and I’ve done some dumb things as a lawyer,” he confessed. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been dumb.”

“Joe Biden” didn’t address anything. Someone went on Twitter for him and tried to control the damage.

You're right. It really WAS racist. Biden showing his true colors...

White liberal 'elites' (who ran the Jim Crow South) went from "Blacks can do no right" to "Blacks can do no wrong"... without ever stopping to consider that both positions are insulting and stupid. Democrats and Biden were racists then - and Democrats and Biden are racists now...

This is a circus. It’s a national disgrace [yea, hang your head because I mean you Biden, you lying dick]. It’s a high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks, who in any way deign to think for themselves. And it is a message, that unless you kowtow to the old order, you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured … by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.

It was addressed by whomever runs Biden’s Twitter account, not by Joe.

Does anyone REALLY believe Biden does his own Tweets?

Here it is in PDF form. https://www.parkinsons.va.gov/resources/MOCA-Test-English.pdf

I found it also at an Aussie news site but as they go through the parts they actually get something wrong because bicycles & trains both have wheels, they're just of a different type. But why would I expect facts from the media? /s

He's comparing Cubans, Mexicans, etc. (all "Latinos" to him) while lumping slave descendants, Jamaicans, Haitians and so on into a monolithic Democrat-obedient "black community."

There's no avoiding the racist predicate in his statement.

Correct. It's not dementia. Put a helmet on him like the kids on the short bus.

“In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith—not by identity, not on issues, not at all,” Biden tweeted Thursday night.

"All I'm saying is if you don't vote for me, you' ain't black. That's all I'm saying. C'mon, man. If my good friends, Robert Byrd, J. William Fulbright and Orville Faubus were still alive, they'd tell ya. They held black people with the same esteem that I do."

Biden wasn’t talking about ‘genetics’.

He was very obviously talking about viewpoints, thought, and specifically spoke to ‘attitudes’.

And then he had to run it all back, and claim that we wasn’t suggesting that African American thought is ‘monolithic’.

Somebody needs to hook this pitiable man off the stage.
