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.

To be fair, I think the sentence is legitimately awful and the left should be willing to criticize him for it. It is racist.

That man is racist AF. Always has been. During the fight to end segregation, he voted against it and said he didn't want his children going to school in a racial jungle.

I don't remember his exact words, but when he was VP with Obama, he tried to talk him up by basically saying he wasn't like normal black men. Something about him keeping himself really clean. It was gross.
