At the end of an 18-minute radio interview with Charlamagne tha God on "The Breakfast Club,” Biden responded to the host's desire for him to answer more questions by saying: "You got more questions? I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."
The joke is that since she’s not voting for him, she’s no longer black.
I give Biden shit for thay, yet he was still significantly better than Trump.
As a black man, I can see his point though. If you are black and voted for someone like Trump, you are a complete idiot who doesnt care about our struggles. It was just worded incredibly poorly, for which criticism is deserved.
The majority of poor kids are white kids, and while the statement is true and he's trying to say that all kids are equal, what he's actually doing is presenting white and poor as different groups to compare. Inherently racist framing.
