Joe Biden opines once again on black people – and then tries to say the opposite — 14 Comments

  1. Biden is absolutely correct when he says, “don’t believe everything Joe says”. Biden of today is indistinguishable from the Biden of previous years. He has always been prone to gaffes.

  2. Andy:

    Yes, he’s always been prone to “gaffes.” But what’s happening now is far different from his old gaffes. Although errors and stupid statements are part of it both then and now, his entire demeanor and ability to articulate thoughts has declined.

  3. Biden tends to see people in categories. Remember what he said about Obama and Indian Americans. He has been so isolated in his Acela bubble, he has never really had personal interactions with average people.

  4. The people he said all look alike are East Asians — or rather, he said that Americans in general can’t tell one from another.

  5. Dwaz:

    I agree that Biden did not write the tweet.

    Even in his best days, long ago, it’s not something I think he would have written. In particular, the used of the word “monolith” is the tell. It’s the word of a more literary person.

  6. neo: Heh!

    I’d like a cartoon of Biden tentatively touching the Monolith in “2001.”

  7. That video of Biden in 2008 vs. Biden 2020 is devastating. In 2008, he was wrong on everything, in my opinion, but he was mentally there. Now, he’s gone.

  8. If he actually meant the black community was diverse, then what would be the point of his statement? He was making a distinction between the two groups. If it wasn’t that blacks lack diversity, then what was it?

    FYI: In terms of political diversity, up until about thirty years ago, he was probably mostly right and that Democrats reliably could count on their votes. Today, I think more and more black people are escaping that old paradigm and becoming more independent in their political thinking.

    For me, what this shows is not so much that Biden is racist (though I suspect he is), but how out of touch Biden is with the electorate.

  9. “clarify” now means to walk something back when it turns out it wasn’t well-received.
    Someone get Joe a dictionary, assuming he can still read.
