This is correct text:
Radio host Charlamagne tha God on Wednesday called out Joe Biden for his “racist” legislative record in the Senate, just weeks after the presumptive Democratic nominee made waves on his show by saying “you ain’t black” if you are figuring out whether to vote for him or President Trump.
Charlamagne on CNN explained that Biden needed to do more than provide lip service to racial issues.
“To me it’s like this: If Barack Obama was JFK, then Joe Biden needs to be Lyndon B. Johnson. You know, he has the opportunity to be as progressive as Lyndon B. Johnson. Lyndon B. Johnson may have been labeled a racist but his record doesn’t reflect that. LBJ’s record showed that he had, like, the most effective progressive record on race and class of any Democratic president of the past 80 years,” Charlamagne said.
correct link
Uhhhhh....I wonder if Charlamagne (if that’s his REAL name) is familiar with LBJ’s comment about ummmmm...errrrr....”African-Americans” voting democRAT for the next hundred years.
Ted Kennedy’s record didn’t reflect the fact that he could swim.
But Juan Williams assures me Black voters are coming for Trump in November.
99.999999999999% of the time, a dumbass name = a complete dumbass.
This is one of those times.
Perhaps he’s evolved in the 40+ years serving the public. More nuanced now that he’s been schooled by obxxx.
On FOX today Juan Williams said he wanted everyone to be treated equally. I assume he is now against affirmative action?
Then why did LBJ vote against Civil Rights in 1957 if he was so progressive on the issue, IIRC?
Just goes to show you - you can be a closet racist and its ok with them as long as you vote things the way they want to be voted. Who cares what your hidden agenda is. Moronic.
Well, hell's bells, that's a fine how do you do.
What record does have President Trump have that would reflect him as a racist?
“Lyndon B. Johnson may have been labeled a racist but his record doesn’t reflect that.”
Can we perform that litmus test on President Trump?
"The God" doesn't know much about history and LBJ.
Heard this man on Rush’s show the other day. Bleating about ‘white supremacy’ and ‘systemic racism’.
I have nothing to converse with him about. And I don’t owe him and his a *damn* thing!
He wasn’t president, so not yet in his interest.
With chains and crowbars, no doubt.
>>Just goes to show you - you can be a(n) “institutionally protected rapist” and its ok with them as long as you vote things the way they want to be voted (on abortion).
Altered but the rule holds
I just reviewed that remark on Snopes and it seems that he didn’t say that. It first surfaced in a 1995 book. BUT, Snopes goes on and on and on with LBJ’s many racist remarks about black people and then goes to great pains to prove he wasn’t a racist. It’s funny contortions that they twist themselves into.
It will be time soon for continual and rolling peaceful protests against the media and supporting our law enforcement, government, and Trump.
