What’s this guy smokin???

His handlers/speechwriters are nuts. They never should have included the word 'negro' in his lines. Not 'great negro', not 'negro pitcher', not even the 'Negro Leagues'.

I know it's a secondary gaffe, but I like how he said Paige was in the Negro League, and then went to the pro League -- like the Negro League wasn't a professional league.

But again, he'll draw a total pass......

in the Negro leagues, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, in the MLB

Hey Lesko Brandon...that should be BLM

Like every thing else you pontificate on....

You got it backwards.

The only way to top that would be Bidet hailing 0bozo as the
“Clean, Articulate Magic Negro with the Big Stick.”

lmaooooo!!!!

Meant to NOT be Robert Byrd’s BFF too . . .

Make all the excuses you want for him but there are those of us old enough to remember this pantload from the 1970’s on. He just has no filter now due to the dementia. In the 70’s it was ok to call blacks all kinds of things. Brandon just forgets they’re a privileged and protected class now.

The idiot, Biden, to my knowledge never tells us WHAT ATTITUDE HE ADOPTED FROM SATCHEL PAIGE!

Paige had many great sayings about age.
He said. “when you are getting older, never look back because they might be gaining on you.” (paraphrased)

[ifinnegan]

Remember his comments on Obama?

Clean. Presumably in Joe’s eyes unlike others.

That is true. My mother at 94 would have abrupt outbursts of realness once in a while. One time my sister brought over her friend who happened to be a really hot lesbian. My mom looked at her and said. “So,my dear, you certainly don’t look like a Bull dyke.” “ when was the last time you f**£ed a man” -

We were horrified and you should have seen that woman’s face.

who put “negro” on a teleprompter for Joe Brandon? That person had to know that there was only one possible outcome for that. He was intently reading the teleprompter, so I don’t think Biden was going off-script. Deep State starting to look for ways to move Harris into office?

Sachel Paige was a great baseball player. That is what I saw when I watch him play. Biden sees a man of color with a leather glove on his hand, not a really good player. This shows how the democrats feel about race. They do not see a great player. They see a black man and try to show how feeling they are by calling him a great negro. To me, he was just a man.

“”You know, I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher in the negro league”

I agree, he should have called it the African American league.

In the 1960s "Negro" was the polite term--it's the term Martin Luther King, Jr., used in his speeches.

Malcolm X ridiculed the term and some time in the 1970s "Negro" fell out of favor...but I had assumed it was still OK to quote someone like MLK verbatim. But last night Leo Terrell was on TV and was adamant about the word Negro being offensive to him. So I guess any white person could get in trouble for quoting MLK's speeches.
