Joe Biden addresses African American ‘diversity’ gaffe
New York Post ^ | 8/6/2020 | Vincent Barone

Posted on 08/06/2020 7:06:32 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Thursday attempted to clarify comments he made earlier in the day suggesting that the African American population is not as “diverse” as the Latino community.

“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.

Biden’s a bigot, always has been and always will be. He would have made a real good whip “cracker” back in the days of slavery, in fact, he’s the exact type of person that stood in the way of freedom for slaves. It’s hilarious irony that they’ve chosen him to lead the democrat party. You couldn’t put this in a novel, nobody would ever believe it.

His handlers wrote a carefully crafted reply to the bumbling retraction of the embarrassing misstatement and clarification. Other than that it was all off the cuff.

Biden did pretty badly but it got much worse when he decided to sing Old Black Joe followed by Mammy. Networks cut the feed just then. Too bad. He has a passable baritone voice.

(just kidding-—it’s a joke).

All of you people are crazy thinking that Biden is a racist. Why, earlier he said that poor kids are just as smart as white kids. So there!

That was the best part. That and the tap dancing.

I wonder how many times they needed to explain what he did.

He also said “I’m so forward-looking to have an opportunity to sit with the president or stand with the president and the debates...”

I lifted that printed quote from a Newsmax article. See what they did here?

Notice how they "fixed" Biden's word-swap?

I think he meant to say he's "looking forward" to debating Trump. The MSM is cleaning this up to make it "forward hyphen looking," which is an awfully mangled grammar to use on such a simple statement.

the African American community is a monolith because if they wander from the liberal plantation, they will be heavily persecuted.

No. He needs to stay right where he is. God forbid he drops out and the Democrats might find somebody who actually knows what they’re doing.

I thought Diversity meant Fewer Whites.

Nope, can't unring that bell.

Actually, with Biden, he can't unring that carillon after it's played an entire song. His cacophony of racist remarks over the years (right up to today) should doom him.

Biden....“Throughout my career I’ve witnessed the diversity of thought, background, and sentiment within the African American community,...It’s this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place."......

I think the situation has been rapidly changing:

(I wonder if Biden has elaborated at all on what he meant by ‘notable exceptions’.)

Biden has said racist crap like this for years. The MSM now is just covering for him.
