It's a dumb, racist thing to say - but it's practically the logical conclusion of a lot of the rhetoric that's passed around on the left (even far-left). If Trump is Hitler/a white supremacist/etc., it'd be insane to even express hesitance about voting for Biden.
- aspenmayer 6y agoI disagree that this is a problem with the left. This is a problem with the Democratic Party.
- avmich 6y ago> It's a dumb, racist thing to say Really? His statement is logically (practically) equivalent to "all blacks have problem with Trump". How is that racist?
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoit's racial essentialism?
- bleah1000 6y agoThat statements assumes that all black people have a problem with Trump, which is definitely not true. So what about the black people that support Trump, are they stupid, are they bad people? It also implies all black people are the same, which is also patently false, and seems pretty racist. We don't generally like someone judging people based on an immutable characteristic like their skin color, and Biden is doing that. Now you could make the argument that is was supposed to be a joke, but then it comes off as offensive and maybe not that racist. Just the casual racism of an old person who grew up in a different era. It certainly doesn't provide much confidence in him as president though.
- avmich 6y agoJust don't read "all" as a logical operator. I believe the vast majority of blacks had their problems increased with Trump, so the Biden's "all" can be easily understood. In case somebody's words can be ambiguous we assume the variant which makes sense is valid, right?
