WHY?

Biden merely said out loud what Democrats TRULY BELIEVE.

ANY minority who doesn't blindly genuflect to the Democratic Party is met with racist vitriol that 4chan would envy. [1] https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1264290285837783040
We talk about redneck Red states all the time.

But what about urban centers w/ large, ailing Black populations?

Cincinnati, Chicago, Philly, Detroit, DC & Baltimore have been controlled by Democrats for decades; latter four cities boast numerous BLACK Democrat mayoralties.[2]
Many Democrats HATE religion (Islam gets a pass...).

That's an issue when MANY Blacks are devout Christians; as such they aren't as gung-ho about abortion or queer culture as the Democrats would prefer.

I'm a pro-choice atheist & deplore homophobia, but it is what it is. [3]
As for gun control, Democrats are OUTRAGED and AGHAST when gun violence befalls well-to-do, white suburban schools, but are SILENT on the gun violence decimating Black lives in inner cities like the ones mentioned above.

And they label you a racist if you bring it up. [4]
And why should a people who fought for emancipation & autonomy (& who spawned a defiant hip-hop culture that shook the world) blindly support Democrats who ONLY see them as victims who must rely on the very state that's oppressing them in the first place?

I'm NOT a victim.[5]
Growing numbers of Black Americans are thinking critically about the issues above & more. We may not embrace the GOP, but we'll no longer jump on the Democrat bandwagon as expected.

For daring to break protocol we're called "Uncle Toms".

Or put another way:

#YouAintBlack [6]
You'd think a party devastated by Trump's victory would welcome fresh ideas & perspectives from one of their most loyal voting bases.

But as Biden's comment reveals, Democrats demand absolute racial conformity & attack any who dissent.

Then they wonder why they lose. [End]
