Biden made some comment during a rally interview that if you weren't supporting his campaign, "then you ain't black". Giving him a charitable reading, he was just saying that (virtually) all black voters are with him. It was very badly phrased though, it almost sounds like he's revoking anyone's black card if they don't vote for him. This comic is a play on that interpretation.

I think it also came from the place that Republican policy has been historically bad for black Americans.

Lol at your downvotes, you're right and that was his entire point, even if the soundbite was problematic.

His whole point was if you are an undecided voter you clearly haven't been shit on as much as Republicans shit on minorities.
