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

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.

"what you all know, but most people don’t know"

I think this part of the statement is even more racist.

"You all?"

To the Black Journalists Association.

How patronizing.

Pretty damn close to saying "You people"

That didn't work out so well for Ross Perot when he tried to pander to the NAACP convention in 1992.

He got booed.

Yeah, but that’s what he said.

Exactly. That's exactly what he said because that's what in his heart and mind. Just like "You ain't black"

It wasn’t a politically correct thing to say, but, he’s right about the Latino community being (much) more diverse.

Latino or Hispanic, is not about a single race, and Latino/Hispanic can be all races: white, black, Asian, whatever.

And, Latino/Hispanic can be of any cultural background. One can say that, Latinos/Hispanics, have every race and every religion and every ethnicity and every culture covered.

So he was saying that the Latin community is disjointed, unfocused, and easily distracted? That can’t be good.

what’s awesome about this is that if Dementia Joe had kept is mouth shut instead of trying to “clarify”, the fake stream enemedia could have successfully ignored the original racist statement ...

How is that different from so-called Black people?

They can be of every cultural background, too. Most Black Americans are mixed-race in one way or another; and have backgrounds in all religions, and even carry on the customs of many different ‘ethnicities’, including a lot of European ones.

What he said was a slam against Black Americans and their *thought*. He was making the typical liberal assumption that all Black people are of one mind about everything; in other words - he was TAKING THEM FOR GRANTED.

LOLOLOL, did he clarify “If you vote for Trump, ya ain’t black” or Obama is “clean and articulate”?

Time for Plugs’s campaign to play “Hide the Geezer” again!

He used the word monolith? Millions of whining actvist social justice warrior millennials will have to Google that to see what it means.

To be honest, I feel sorry for anyone his age trying to navigate today’s hypersensitive politically correct-speak. My mother was a kind woman yet she let slip “racist“ comments on a regular basis - times were different. Everyone said “retarded”. Everyone called Germans “krauts”.

Now you aren’t supposed to say “Eskimo” or “oriental”.

Add to that his dementia and of course he’s going to screw it up.

I worry more about the math errors. 150 million gun deaths and such. And not knowing where he is. And losing his train of thought.

But the real issue is that he’s running as a Democrat (Marxist).
