"You ain't black if you don't vote for me" - Biden
"You have poor kids and you have white kids" - Biden
I don't know the context of the statement you mentioned, but I doubt it points to him being a white supremacist.
Even what Biden says doesn't make someone a white supremacist (though his voting comment was bad), some things are just a slip of the tongue.
- whimsicalism 5y agoI wasn't discussing Biden, I'm sure he's said plenty of racist stuff (although the second one was clear a slip of the tongue). "Only black people could live like that" when describing Chicago does not seem like a slip of the tongue, and seems more blatantly racist than either of the two things you've mentioned. “He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasn’t a ‘shithole'", etc. etc.
- hunterb123 5y agoThat's hearsay from Michael Cohen, Trump's disgruntled, disgraced ex-lawyer. Trump has disputed the claim so we have no idea who's telling the truth. We should assume Trump innocent until Cohen proves it. But we have Biden on tape and audio saying people aren't black if they don't vote for him. One is a rumor, one is a fact. That's my point.
- whimsicalism 5y agoWell he hasn't disputed the claim under oath :)
- hunterb123 5y agoThat's not the standard, it's still hearsay that you are passing off as fact. Would you want to go up to Congress every time you were accused of something, especially when that Congress has gone after you in every way possibly trying to destroy you? A baseless accusation from a disgraced lawyer is not proof someone is a racist. Please try harder. The fact that this was your reasoning and all you could scrape up is a great insight.
