Biden: If you vote for Trump, you're not really black...

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"

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Redefining What It Means to Be Black in America

November 13, 20072:28 PM ET

JUAN WILLIAMS> A Single Race?

Another revelatory finding in the Pew poll is that 37 percent of African Americans now agree that it is no longer appropriate to think of black people as a single race. A little more than half of the black people polled — 53 percent — agreed that it is right to view blacks as a single race. And the people most likely to say blacks are no longer a single race are young black people, ages 18-29.

Forty-four percent of those young black people say there is no one black race anymore, as compared to 35 percent of the 30- to 49-year-old black population, and 34 percent of the black people over age 65.

The split in the black race comes down to a matter of values, according to the poll. In response to the question, "Have the values of middle-class and poor blacks become more similar or more different?" 61 percent of black Americans said "more different." White Americans agreed, with 54 percent saying there is a growing values gap between the black middle class and the black poor; 45 percent of Hispanics agreed, too.
