    “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” – Biden, referring to President Obama

    “Poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids!”

    “It’s awful hard, as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They’re worried that they will be vaccinated and deported.”

    “Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

    “That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” – Biden asking a Black reporter if he’s a cocaine junkie after the reporter asked if he had taken a cognitive test

    “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

      Yeah I get it he’s old and says awkward things sometimes. Wow, you really got him. Guess all those black people who voted for him in the primaries because they thought he had their best interests at heart were just idiots, eh?

        Dude, none of this is acceptable in the 21st century.

        Yeah I get it he’s old and says awkward things sometimes.

        Just proving my point here, he’s that racist grandpa with dementia that everybody makes excuses for.

          I love how you think you know better than actual black Americans. Such arrogance. Such racism.

            You know damn well if anyone else said any one of these things publicly, they’d be (rightly) ripped apart. He wouldn’t be talking like that if it wasn’t in his heart.

              Black Americans seem to think he has their best interests at heart and he’s certainly led like that. You’re just another big ol fuckin racist who thinks that black Americans are infantile morons who can’t tell what those best interests are. They need your big, special white savior ass to come and lecture them about what and who they should vote for.

                  That’s literally what you did with a politician you didn’t like, bucko. You pretended he was a racist even though he was chosen by marginalized racial groups to represent them.
