Biden on minority support: 'I was raised in the black church'

DES MOINES, Iowa — Joe Biden spoke of his connection to black voters at an NAACP event Sunday afternoon and claimed his “political identity” was molded by minorities in his home state of Delaware.

“I have a lot of black support because that’s where I come from. I was raised in the black church, politically, not a joke,” the former vice president said in Des Moines. “When I got into politics, I was the only white guy working on the east side, in the projects, because these were the guys I grew up with. These were the guys I worked with.”

Biden addressed a packed room of roughly 100 people, mostly white, at a minority outreach organization called Urban Dreams. Although he appeared roughly 30 minutes after his start, attendees continued trickling in before he addressed the crowd.

He spoke extensively on his consistent support from black Democrats, which a number of polls show back him by double-digits over his rivals. That consistent support, Biden said, was because of his decades-long relationship with black voters that started when he was a city council member in Wilmington, Delaware. During his time as a local politician, Biden said he would “go to a black church after regular mass every Sunday.”

No minorities at the “minority outreach” event? Maybe they couldn’t reach them? They were probably in the black church down the road.

That photo of Baldo Plugs Biden: He’s probably spent high six figures on hair plugs.......and he looks WORSE than someone undergoing chemo and radiation treatments.

Plugs looks/sounds seriously older than my mother with dementia, and my mom is almost 92 years old!!!

I hope this pandering is so embarrassingly transparent to black people now.

As in “how did we fall for this bull$4!t all these years...?”

Soon to hear Joe Biden singing in Black Churches everywhere:

“I was born and raised down in Alabama
On a farm way back up in the woods
I was so ragged the kids would call me patches
Papa used to kid me about it
Of course deep down inside
He was thinkin he had done all he could do
My papa was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his hand
See, education he never had
But he did wonders when the time got bad
A little money from the crops he raised
Barely paid the bills we made...”

Patches by Clarence Carter

That was cleaner than the original routine..

I started off at the bottom. I was born a poor black child. And all day long around the house, they’d sing the blues. Then I heard my first Mantovani record, and I knew that this is where it’s at for me. The kind of music I enjoy. These are my people. So I decided to become white. I had my ____ shortened. Then I got a job as a television weather man.
