Republican loudly booed as he predicts Trump will be convicted
Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said the GOP "cannot win as a country without integrity in the White House."
You're viewing part of a thread.
“the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” – Biden, referring to President Obama
“Poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids!”
“It’s awful hard, as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They’re worried that they will be vaccinated and deported.”
“Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”
“That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” – Biden asking a Black reporter if he’s a cocaine junkie after the reporter asked if he had taken a cognitive test
“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
Um... some of these make you sound like the racist one.
Like suggesting that saying to a black reporter if they're a junkie it's racist as if only black people use cocaine or are junkies. That's you assuming that, not Biden.
And you are the one making the assumption about Latinx people: https://www.aamc.org/news/we-need-get-more-latinx-people-vaccinated-heres-how
Also, every single one of those is out of context and none of them are sourced.

out of context
Ah yes, the old "out of context" argument. You know damn well if any Republican said any one of those things, people would be out with the pitchforks. But because it's a Democrat, you're OK with it and blow it off as "out of context." Even though the guy didn't want his kids growing up in a "racial jungle" (his words, not mine).
If you can't look at your own side critically, you are what is wrong with this country.
So you're claiming context has no relevance to things people say? Really?
Because, again, without context, you're the one coming off as a racist.
NONE OF THIS IS OK IN ANY CONTEXT.
Really? Because, again, I provided you with a link to a Latina doctor who says her patients are vaccine hesitant because they fear deportation. So the truth is not okay?
I still think it was an inappropriate thing to say, implying that Latin-Americans are all here illegally.
What about the rest of it? You think it's OK to tell voters of color that they ain't Black if they don't vote for him, make racist jokes about 7-11, and make comments about Obama like that? Oh right, in SOME context, you think it's OK, and that context is the letter D after his name.
Give me a break. You're licking his boots because he is a Democrat who ran against Trump. Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre are his tokens to show he's "not racist." I have zero hope for the Democrat party because they have no incentive whatsoever to do any better.
That's not what he implied, and there is a huge fear of citizens getting deported in that population.
And again, the rest of it was unsourced and without context. For all I know, you or someone you got half of that from made it up.
And also again, you are the one coming off as racist. You are the one suggesting that using cocaine and being a junkie is a 'black' thing. You are the one suggesting Latino citizens don't fear deportation. Which, by the way, is also coming from a right-wing perspective.
As far as "licking his boots," I have not said a single positive thing about Biden this entire time. I am simply countering your narrative, which is based on Republican lies.
A quick YouTube search reveals he did in fact say those things.

But it's OK because people think Trump said those things: https://youtu.be/4m4_KibqaRU https://youtu.be/gFVXtSdlPUw
I'm not saying Trump is not racist. I'm sure you remember when Trump was confronted multiple times and asked to outwardly denounce racism, and he hesitated or avoided doing so. Which is also concerning. Only a racist would dodge that question.
And everybody forgot that Biden said that the vaccines will keep you from getting covid too: https://youtu.be/VArXfQU--LA
I’m not saying Trump is not racist
If both of them are, and you are singling out Biden for it, you effectively are.
And, once again, you claiming that calling a black person a junkie is a racist thing is the racist thing. Because you are associating black people with being junkies, not Biden. No matter how many times you talk about him saying it, it doesn't change that.
You already know the majority of Lemmy users would agree with me that Trump is a racist. Because he fucking is. I thought I didn't need to state the obvious, but there you go.
I don't think accusing ANY reporter of being a crack addict is an appropriate thing for a politician to do under ANY circumstances. Feel free to disagree with me on that, but whatever. It's my opinion.
Your argument seems to boil down to "If you say anything bad about Biden, you're a Trump supporter falling for his propaganda!" My argument is that this binary view of politics is the real problem with this country.
I don't like Trump OR Biden. Why is this so fucking hard for you people to understand?
I want to see voting reform. Keep in mind that Trump won his first term due to a fatal flaw in our election system. And by the way, I voted for Hillary Clinton. But as it stands now, it seems like you people would be happy with Strom fucking Thurmond in office (one of Biden's buddies) if he was alive and a Democrat today.
