(3,635 posts)Biden goes on this guy's show, which was an opportunity to shore up his support with younger people and younger PoC specifically, and then get's defensive and says something cringeworthy like 'you ain't black if..' etc.
Then he recently made the 'first racist president' comment. I understand what he was trying to say (that Trump is the first overtly racist president in modern times) but let's get real America was built on racism.
Biden needs to listen more and talk less.
Kamala, Corey and Castro made legitimate critiques of Biden and the Dem's past coziness with Dixiecrats - and alot of white liberals got the vapors - but the fact is it was good for Biden as he got to address that stuff before the GE when Trump/GOP would've tried to use it to depress AA turnout.
