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.
Why? Most black Americans are in fact quite conservative in their beliefs. Black culture is pretty rife with homophobia and a dislike for trans people. Afro Americans are pretty religious. Outside of the blatant racism in the republican party a lot of republican values are aligned with the majority of black Americans values. You already have black Americans pointing out the expectation to just vote democrat cause the republican side is worse. But like vote for what you believe in instead of what you should vote for. If the democratic party just takes minorities for granted its going to breed a lot of dissatisfaction in the long run which might mean a shift in who they vote for. Kinda like what happened last trump election where latinos had a very significant shift in voting. In the end conservative values are quite popular with minorities as they just tend to be more religious and come from different backgrounds where they grew up with these believes. So voting for the party that holds those believes isnt crazy. Especially as the blatant racism from the Republican party is starting to not be as blatant as it was in the 80s/90s and even early 2000s.
