Former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic nominee for President, recently appeared on a Black media talk show and suggested that Black voters that don’t know the difference between Biden and incumbent President Donald Trump “ain’t Black”!
I blame the people of African descent that support and work for Biden for not preparing him on how to best communicate with the Black media and to Black voters.
At the time of this writing, Joe Biden had already spoken to Barack Obama, Jim Clyburn, Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris and a horde of other Black elected officials and so-called Black political operatives about how to behave on the campaign trail.
Joe Biden’s campaign, in one respect, is akin to Martin Luther King, good but dead, if his spending is based on race instead of spending money with Blacks that can truly deliver Black votes.
What Joe Biden said on Black media was a blip, but it was no different than the way many Americans talk about Blacks when they are behind closed doors.
