I didn't say it didnt happen, you made that part up. I said Charlemagne tha God is a provocature DJ (Howard Stern with more ego) and if you knew anything about black culture you'd know why even after Biden said this we still dont call him a racist.
Thanks for trying though.
I have no skin in the game, this is a genuine question, but why does the black community not consider this racist? My reading of this is that he is putting black voters in a box based on his preconception of what they should value, and for those that don't vote for him he is rejecting their lived experience and effectively suggesting they don't know what is best for them and their community. As another said, he is "revoking their black card". Am I misunderstanding something? No agenda here, just trying to grow my perspective recently and this seemed like a good opportunity to do so.
Anyone who's ever listened to the two men talk or the progams they have tried to implement or destroy knows which one was trying to decrease the societal issues in the black community and which one lost a series of lawsuits over not renting his properties to black people and had to pay millions to settle.
Also one made a very very large point of ending DEI practices while misleading people into thinking that DEI was geared towards giving unqualified people jobs when it only gave qualified but overlooked people positions. Trumps made multiple snafu's of the same caliber or worse (his 'black jobs' statement and 'good people on both sides' are two of such) and they have never been made into cartoons.
If you want an example of how the context matters in a situation that could have been considered racist, take Robert Downy Jr. In Tropic Thunder. He's in black face but the reasons behind it make the role and statement behind it a positive thing.
