I am very tired of Joe Biden. My vote for him was already hanging by a thread before his disastrous interview with Charlamagne tha God on Friday. Interrupting the Breakfast Club host’s explanation that black people needed assurances that our communities will benefit from his presidency, Biden asserted: “If you’ve got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Again, I am very tired of Joe Biden. Not because I am a purist, or have inflexible ideological commitments of what it will take to remove Donald Trump from office. But rather because Biden’s condescension towards black communities is intolerable.
...“They know where my heart is,” Biden has said, of black voters.
But do we?
Senator Kamala Harris was severely scrutinized for her treatment of poor black women as a prosecutor – yet Biden’s criminal justice record makes Harris look like Thurgood Marshall. Biden authored and successfully passed the $30bn 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. Besides putting 100,000 additional police officers in the streets, the crime bill distributed funding for new prison construction, encouraged prosecutors to charge children as adults, and even added the death penalty for 28 new areas, including drug-related offenses. Pushing for further criminalization, then senator Biden argued that George HW Bush’s crime plan did not go far enough because it did not “include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs, not enough prosecutors to convict them, not enough judges to sentence them, and not enough prison cells to put them away for a long time”. An older black generation fought through Jim Crow only for Biden to help make sure that their children and grandchildren lived through a new Jim Crow.

Black America was destroyed by LBJ. Biden proved that LBJ’s version of the shining hill was pure shit. I think LBJ and JB are pure racist in their heart.
Apparently record low unemployment rates for blacks didn’t impress Durecka.
Not the sharpest field hand on the Dem plantation.
Well it has been 50 years. Wasn’t that LBJ’s prediction?
Al Sharpton wasn’t impressed either.
Al Sharpton on Joe Biden’s comments: “ludicrous,” “inappropriate”

200 years.
Joe Biden is full of White Malarkey and has NO Black Malarkey?
Malcolm X wasn’t murdered by George Wallace and the Ku Klux Klan.
He was gunned down (I saw the pics in Life Magazine in 1965) by his “brothers” in the Nation of Islam because he had renounced both violence against whites and hatred of Jews. For this he had to die. One of the assassins was today’s much beloved and beyond any criticism “Minister” Louis Farrakhan.
And we’re supposed to turn in our guns.
God, I hate the Grauniad. It was at THE BEHEST of many blacks during the crack cocaine era, that many of these policies were passed into law.
Kamala Harris can only ACT offended by Biden’s remarks.
She is NOT a Black AA. She is a mix of Jamaican-Indian.
BTW.... She is NOT eligible for P, VP or Speaker. When she was born, her parents were British and India citizens.
I’m tiring of hearing the news media spew the BS that she could be Biden’s VP pick.
Wait a minute. That black dude calls himself Charlemagne tha God?
Kamala looks black, so that makes her eligible. The Kenyan threw that requirement out the window.
