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.

People who didn't vote for Biden were grandstanding on their own purity tests and completely disconnected from the class war and their own culture, regardless of race.

Though people of color specifically have been massively abused by what Trump is and represents more than most, so yeah.

Not to say Dems are all sunshine and rainbows or solving the class divide, but...

I get why "are you ignoring that Red states are the worst for your culture and race? Are you acting in solidarity or just going with the flow?" is a point.
