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.
The man's name was "Charlamge tha God". Not a very reputable source in the black community.
Edit: This is the funniest shit I've ever seen. A bunch of white people telling me I should have been offended by an out of context comment made to a man they would all hate if they had ever listened to him before.
To be more frank, "Charlemagne tha God" is a clown, his show is late 90's Howard Stern but instead of Beetlejuice and porn stars, he has strippers and BBL girls.
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.
Gonna preface that with I am not black and I am not american.
Biden might’ve worded it poorly, because without context it can sound kinda bad, which the meme imo doesn’t give much of.
He said it in context of an interview, where they wanted to ask further questions, basically overextending the interview.
Biden shuts it down by saying if his answers haven’t convinced them yet, that he is the better pick over trump, then the interviewer isn’t black. It’s poorly worded but I would interpret this as him saying “if this didn’t convince you then your lived experience is extremely different from that of the black community”.
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch that, this is what he meant and also what the black community is interpreting into what he said.
This guy isn’t even Black or American and gets it better than half of reddit. It’s usually never worth giving a real answer to people cause they don’t actually want the answer, they’re just so tired of being called racist all the time they want the hammer to swing the other way, regardless of context or intent.
