After coming under fire for ill-received comments about Black voters during his recent interview with ‘The Breakfast Club’ (click here to watch), Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is offering a retraction and apology.
More inside:
As previously reported, the former Vice President took to ‘The Breakfast Club’ Friday (May 22) to chat with resident host Charlamagne Tha God. Near the inerview’s end, Biden said African American voters who are even considering voting for Trump ‘ain’t Black.’
Shortly after, fury erupted among viewers – many slamming the 77-year-old for yet another controversial statement regarding race. Even Charlamagne joined the chorus and stated:
“He really was one of the people on the front lines when it came to the war on drugs, and mass incarceration. If he wants to be president, he needs to fix that,” the radio host told CNN Friday evening. “My overall takeaway from the conversation is that I heard him talk about things he did for black people back in the day but what have you done for me lately is my motto. I see black communities catching hell no matter who is in the White House.”
*****
Biden quickly tried to clean up the mess by lending an apology.
“I should not have been so cavalier. I’ve never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted,” he said. “I shouldn’t have been so cavalier. … No one should have to vote for any party based on their race, their religion, their background.”
Charlamagne’s response to Biden’s backtrack? ”
“The Best Apology Is A Black Agenda,” he replied as seen in the video below.
Wtf he needs not to apologize, huh? Trump has never been for blacks, Hispanic, Asians, etc. So, why would you vote for Trump? I understand the message Biden was trying to get across to the black voters and every other Minority. He doesn’t owe me an apology at all!
Black people who voted for Trump are uncle Toms anyway. Trump hasn’t done anything for those stupid blackface foo at all but stole from the taxpaying people which is they dumb ass
You’re an idiot. Trump cut taxes on the working class. The Democratic party has done nothing but enslave the poor and poc on government services under the guise of helping. Trump is a s***** president. But so were the last few.
Lana fan – you’re dumb AF
No, you’re dumb af and don’t understand politics. Or human rights
@Lanafan1 there’s nothing you can tell me trump has done for American people in whole. His scandals always out trump the next scandal. The economy f*** up because of this n****. white Americans, racist white Americans are truly the new n*****. Their greed and indifference with themselves will be the destruction of this world.
The economy is f***** up because of government’s meddling in the market place. You have no idea what you’re talking about
@lanafan1 did we really need a wall built on the border? That enough said.. I’m not about dispute about how America can not afford that wall. A wall that they can still cross. I really think your working for Foxnews
This is how I know you’re stupid af. Because I never mentioned supporting the wall or fox news. 😂
Free immigration without borders or a wall is good for the economy. As I said before, you don’t understand politics. Stop talking.
@Lanafan1 my point he been a f*** up ever since he got into the White House. There’s nothing good he has done. Your stupid ass sit here and defend him. He has done nothing good for the economy, but steal, lie, and separate America more. What has he done Lanafan1 Fox News reporter, huh?? He didn’t lower s*** in taxes by the way fuckface
My point is, the country has been f***** up. Stop acting as if this is all Trump’s fault. You’re clearly illiterate, because I didn’t defend him. 😂 And he did actually lower taxes. Not by much. But he did. Also, STFU about Fox News. No one watches that s***. Get an education and stop accusing people who disagree with you of watching that poison.
@Lanafan1 and half of the working class is a single mother who still needs to depend on government assistance which he trying to cut. Which he will not ok hero act package. There people out there who can’t feed, pay rent, bills, but he said it DOA. At least the democratic put together a package to help the working class who are suffering at this time. F*** you & trump!!
Half of the working class are single mothers? That’s in correct. And even if that were true, why would you want them dependant on government services, instead of finding a career that supports their lifestyles? Why would you want other people being taxed to support the lifestyles of others? That’s completely stupid.
Thee Democratic party put together a package that will weaken the American dollar. You do know that all the money that was spent will be added to taxes later, correct? So, congratulations you all just signed our children and their children up to pay back debt they didn’t ask for.
Strengthen the economy so that people aren’t dependant on the government.
All Biden really meant was Trump doesn’t care about black people. Maybe Biden should’ve been more careful with his words, but Trump is the epitome of having a loose tongue, so I think we can cut Biden a break. On the other hand, Charlamagne is correct that it would be helpful to see a clear plan from Biden to support his claim of caring more for black people than Trump does.
It’s not about trump
Stop the whataboutism
U may have that disease called trump deranged syndrome
biden spoke like a white s**** master.
Dictating who is black and who is not.
Speaking of which, what are YOU? You seem inherently racist towards everyone from the comments you leave on this blog.
200% of white politicians are racists!!!!!
The coons are out in full force in the comment section.
biden is cancelled
We are not voting for biden this election
Here comes the
Trump is going to win if u dont vote
Bìtch that’s not our problem
The democratic party should have presented a credible candidate instead of biden.
Apparently they didnt learn their lesson last election,.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
At this point it’s bigger than Biden. We can’t have Trump fill the Supreme Court with his judges. RGB is on her last leg. Trump just can’t take another judge man.
@J Please be quiet
How he said it was wrong, but let’s be really, was he really wrong about what he said?
Yes, he was lol. Y’all really wanna be slaves!
Y’all will vote for anything with a “D” next to their name. Especially when it comes to Trump. 😂 Despite the Democratic party using POC as a bargaining chip, but never making good on their promises. Y’all vote for them. But forget that they basically started the KKK. Don’t believe me? Google it!
Black people have a very toxic relationship with the Democratic party
The democratic party is that abusive boyfriend that keeps beating u, cheating on u , stealing ur money, giving u STDS, but u keep going back to him, why?
Is cause u have been brainwashed to always support the Democratic party .
The media has thought u Democratic party =good, Republican party =bad
Which is bullshìt.
We need to stop the relationship with this abusive party
They only know black people when its election time.
You better f****** preach!
Joe Biden isn’t sorry, he made the mistake of saying exactly what white liberal politicians have been saying for years. For decades they have promised to uplift the black community while simultaneously creating policies that hurts black America. Joe doesn’t get a pass and it is time for the Democrats to experience a wake up call. Diddy said it best, the black vote isn’t free this year. I’m voting Trump in November to send a strong message to the Democrat party, You don’t own our vote! #Trump2020
We cannot let Trump appoint any more judges y’all. It’s bigger than Biden at this point. We are trying to protect women’s reproductive rights and keep minorities safer. Trump has done the opposite. I can’t live in this f***** up country any more if he wins again. Y’all really want four more years of this?????
Maybe the democratic party should have thought of that before they made joe biden the presidential candidate.
“. I can’t live in this f***** up country any more if he wins again”
Gurl u and countless celebrities said this 4 years ago but yall are still here in America.
Biden is awful
He doesnt even remember his own name.
He probably doesnt know which office he is running for.
He is going to say more offensive racist things before November
Remember when he said poor kids are just as talented as white kids?
And all those creepy videos of him sniffing and touching women
Here comes the but trump has done worse.
This ain’t about trump
The Democratic party always acts like the care about gay people and women, and black people,
If they really cared about women , they wouldn’t have made creepy joe the presidential candidate.
Trump hasn’t done a damn thing against American minorities. The judges he appointed are there to keep the Constitution from being bastardized
It baffles me so much how this man was torn to shreds during the democratic debates but still ended up the presidential nominee.
Something is not right somewhere
This shìt is fixed
They played us.
