The dimocraps are running a fool but its Trump who's the racist....

That pic's from 2008:

NAACP was a fan of Byrd by then.

Oh man, the debates are going to be absolutely incredible!

No doubt. Trump is going to demolish Joe.

Turns out he said sorry. That's good. But, doesn't give you confidence that his marbles are all accounted for.

[xenon]

This is horrible, but wouldn't it be hilarious if someone released a bag of marbles from behind Joe on the debate stage - and Trump says, "Looks like you dropped something, Joe"

[Larry]

The NAACP is a racist organization as well, their job being to keep blacks on the Democrat plantation. They took Byrd into their good graces for political reasons, nothing more. The KKK is a Democrat invention as well.

*"Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden has said in an interview African Americans "ain't black" if they vote for President Donald Trump over him.

When Joe was younger, people used to talk like that.

And it was OK.

Maybe even kind of hip.

What's low marble about what he said? It's very common amongst white liberals to assume all black people are identical in their opinions and view of all things political. WTF has many such luminaries. I was once roundly castigated there for suggesting that Trump would have more black voters this election than last election.

When you watch it Biden stumbles as if he can’t remember Trump’s name. That might be the scariest part.

This whole thing about being an 'authentic' black is half the problem with them not rising like they could.

[Horace]

Tell it to the white liberals so self-satisfied in their compassionate care for people with dark skin that they can't see how enormously condescending and damaging to the human experience it all is.

The only hope here for Biden supporters is that this is all out of context and not an accurate portrayal.

I'm calling BS on this.
It's edited, at exactly the right spot to stitch together two segments.
Watch it again, and see what I mean?

[Horace]

It’s real, but he said be, not beat. Be makes perfect sense in the context.

CNN: What Biden said was outrageous. But, some say, so was the reaction

Critics pounced.
Tim Scott of South Carolina, the lone black Republican in the Senate, criticized Biden, saying 1.3 million black Americans voted for Trump in 2016.
"I'd say I'm surprised, but it's sadly par for the course for Democrats to take the black community for granted and brow beat those that don't agree," he said.
The Trump campaign called the remarks "racist and dehumanizing."
"He truly believes that he, a 77-year-old white man, should dictate how Black people should behave," said Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser with the campaign, in a statement.
But others who were angered by Biden's comments focused more on the tone of his comments.
"There is no place for a white man to define blackness in America," said Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter in Greater New York."
Asked if he disagreed with the content of Biden's comments, Newsome replied:
"The tonality of Mr. Biden's statement was condescending and insensitive. If he would have stated differently, we wouldn't be having this conversation."

By the end of the day, Biden seemed to have received the message loud and clear. He should not have been "so cavalier," a chastened Biden said

Alternate explanation for CNN:

[Horace]

I'm just curious to see that there is consensus that it was a bad thing to say. I mean, it gets said in polite progressive company constantly. I guess it's one of those things that's ok to say in private, but not in public.
