Oh my god.This is mortifying (on Biden’s behalf for that gratuitous use of “ain’t”) and revolting (on my own behalf) for that condescending racial essentialism. I say this as someone who would vote for my son’s diaper over Trump. https://twitter.com/AmericaRising/status/1263803921136603136
To be clear, I will vote and canvass for Biden if I can. But this is still embarrassing. Barack Obama himself never said something like, “If you can’t figure out who to vote for between me and Hilary, you ain’t black!”
I also just want to point out that the more I think about it, @cthagod was being a real professional taking seriously a presidential candidate and the candidate’s response at the end was to start jive-talking him. That’s wild to me.
