Joe Biden won another Democratic primary contest over the weekend. Many would not know that he picked up 12 delegates in Hawaii’s mail-in vote election because all news outlets were reporting Biden’s closing remarks in a taped radio interview with, “The Breakfast Club.”
As the presumptive Democratic nominee was being escorted off that call to another interview, @cthagod asked him to come back to talk because he had more questions.
That was when @JoeBiden blurted out, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black!”
Screeeeeech! Say what?
The VP apologized for his comment, calling his response “cavalier,” others calling him “dismissive & condescending.”

What Joe Biden was, was wrong. He may have said what he heard others say, but he didn’t hear or remember what followed: “But you can’t say that Mr. Vice President.” Add that to the list of “Things White Folks Can’t Say or Do.”
Telling Black folks they “Ain’t Black, if they don’t vote for you," has got to be on that list after Friday’s gaffe — especially with that tone and the use of the word “ain’t.”
But what are we going to do about it? Were folks so offended that they won’t vote November 3?

We may not like, maybe hate what he said or how he said it, but is this enough to not vote? If nothing else, this points to the next step. Even before he appoints a Black woman as his running mate, Joe Biden should begin his Apologetic AF (that’s apologetic & frank!) Tour..
...with an interview with every Black media outlet that will have him. Yes, my hand is up.
And as he is making that Apology Tour, he should be presenting his NEW and REVISED Black agenda AND taking suggestions.

At the last stop, announce his vice presidential pick, Senator Harris, Congresswoman Demings, Shoulda-Been Governor Abrams, Senior Advisor Simone Sanders....
By the way...that, “Things White Folks Can& #39;t Say or Do List,” number one, of course, is say or even sing the N-word.

Not sure in what particular order, but here are a couple of more: Do not ask to touch our hair. And don’t offer or bring potato salad to the barbecue. Suggestions? #WhatYouNeedToKnow
