*"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.

When you watch it Biden stumbles as if he can’t remember Trump’s name. That might be the scariest part.
Waiting for the reporter who asked Romney about his gaffes to comment on this...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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? -

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
