Sometimes people act as if race relations are governed by some weird set of rules.

Conservatives want to be able to make legalistic arguments -- sure, our guy said x, but their guy said y, and if you think x is bad, you have to condemn y. https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1263880313316552704
Rather than accepting that people are making jugments, often quite complex, about who is friendly and who isn't.
That tweet just struck me as one of those, "By the rules of racism, you must condem Biden!" moments.
And... I think I made a bit of an ass of myself in this thread. I think that there's a consensus that Biden stepped in it.

I dunno. Please vote for Joe, despite everything. He's way better than the alternative.
