No, I'm not talking about black people's position on busing, I'm talking about Biden's position on busing. Biden's position on busing did not exist in a vacuum, he had multiple pro-segregationist positions at the time and was friends with multiple white segregationist politicians at the time. UnapologeticallyBLK elaborated on Biden's past pro-segregationist positions in the past in a post above.
This morherfucker ain't doing nothing but playing the game. Blackin the shit up is what you do as a Democrat nowadays.
As far as what he said, the line quoted in the title, he ain't say shit that any twitter nigga, university nigga, bobble head cable news ass nigga, or wannabe above ass nigga wouldn't say. The problem is that he said it, which apparently gives license for the aforementioned niggas to be in their feels about the concept when they usually wouldn't.
Nevertheless, a nigga is still not voting for Biden

Correct. People expect Nazis to be racist. They don't expect allies to be racist.
This is more worthy of debate and discussion, to be honest, because of what it means to a lot of people. And to be even more honest, I'm a little surprised by how many posters are willing to let him slide on this, and even agree with him. It's getting to the point where, if Biden had said Trump's "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters", I'd expect the ERA and Twitter threads on it would be filled with people agreeing with him.
While I agree with you that this definitely demands attention (and Biden just need to stfu really), the feeling I'm getting from this thread is anything but what you said. It feels more like a continuation of the frustrations from the other Biden-related threads on here.
Like this example right here.
You want the honest answer?
It's because the way he says it connects with people. Not the content mind you, but the style.
It works.
Ask them if they'll still vote for Biden regardless. He can basically say or do anything, and people will not only still vote for him, but you'll have people come out of the woodwork to defend him and say he's right. That's the situation we're in. Biden is basically bulletproof, because the alternative is Trump.
Are you being serious in comparing Trump and Biden? This isn't hard, one of them claims to be the party of diversity, one of them has most of the black and other minority vote.
Screwing over Bernie Sanders in favor of this idiot was totally a fantastic idea! How the fuck does he have a base?
It feels belittling that you're boiling down the white presidential candidate defining blackness as voting for him over Trump as people just not liking him as the candidate.
I'm being nice by only saying it's belittling btw
What are you saying with this? That Biden should some how get backpats for owning up to lying or that his recent comments in the OP shouldn't be taken seriously?
I apologize then if I made you (and any others) feel that way in any capacity.
Nobody screwed over Bernie. He lost twice. Most Dems prefer someone else to him, and for good reason.
Nobody screwed over Bernie. He lost again. It's over, it's time to move forward and do your best to help the country move forward.
Who screwed over Bernie Sanders? The people who didn't vote for him?
To be fair: His statement perfectly sums up how establishment democrats regard the black vote...
Agreed 100%.
Agreed 100%.
I think this a very shitty thing for you to do here. Biden says something obviously racist so of course it'll generate a lot of discussion. It really says something about YOU that you don't think people have a right to feel some kinda way about this.
Lol. This is news to you? This is the same population that said the PSP Tv would revolutionize gaming.
Don't ever trust This entire message board on topics of gaming, politics, dating or social behavior. Absolutely clueless.
Speaking paternalistically towards minorities is a favorite of white liberals, so of course it would connect with his base
Not surprised about the call for Sanders/
FOH with this crap. No one screwed over Sanders. He lost fair and square, get the fuck over it.

Its amazing just how easy Trump has it now.
He just has to sit back and watch his enemies destroy themselves.

This site is just a microcosm though. All indicators point to Biden actually doing really well right now including among black folks.
What a disappointing remark. I'm not outraged, just annoyed that the man currently shouldering the collective hope to defeat Trump doesn't know his base well enough to recognize this wasn't a good thing to say.
Joe Biden Apologizes
The Biden train lost a wheel today. The Trump train has six cars on fire and the conductor has never read a manual.

“fwiw: Quinnipiac poll this week showed Biden’s support among black voters at 81% compared with 3% for Trump and 13% undecided. At similar point in 2016, same poll found only 2% of black respondents undecided, with 93% backing Clinton and 4% for Trump. https://t.co/Z8hk0wlNGX”

Except he has. The only thing you can say to his credit is that it just wasn't Joe doing it this whole time. One can also make the case that due to the severity of suffering another term of the Trump presidency that freudian slips like this need to go on the back burner regarding Trump.
Problem is democrats by and large won't address it down the road.
At least Biden tries to make good on his mistakes. Can you imagine Trump's response?
I wouldn't be so sure. I'm criticizing the shit outta Joe but you best believe I'll be there voting for him on Election Day. Fuck. That.
If he picks either one of those two as a direct result of this then this episode has resulted in something awesome.
I've been so used to Trump's BS I've forgotten what an apology looks like.
We still only have the two choices. One candidate is still at least trying to be held to some standard, even if doing a poor job.
I stand corrected. If this means that a black woman has a good chance of being his VP then I don't see anything wrong with that.Josh Jamerson on Twitter

Oh, I don't know.
