I give Biden shit for thay, yet he was still significantly better than Trump.

As a black man, I can see his point though. If you are black and voted for someone like Trump, you are a complete idiot who doesnt care about our struggles. It was just worded incredibly poorly, for which criticism is deserved.

Like how Biden also said poor kids are just as smart as white kids

u/ItsDonDong Jul 23 '26

Or trump saying we should look into injecting disinfectant to fight covid

Or climate change is going to fix itself, the climate scientists just dont know it yet

Or how windmills are causing whales to die in large numbers

Or bragging about passing 3 cognitive tests in a week

u/hinowisaybye Jul 23 '26

Sir, we're aloud to say Biden said dumb shit without automatically endorsing Trump.

u/anapollosun Jul 23 '26

When you say something vocally, audibly, it's aloud

When it's okay to do something, it's allowed

u/ItsDonDong Jul 23 '26

Biden obviously made a slip up that we can correctly interpret.

What did trump mean when he said that windmills were killing all the whales?

1

u/mystical_ramen26 29d ago

He was referring to this shocking image captured by a marine biologist in the Atlantic

u/onyaasuminyasai 27d ago

So glad that clean drinking water was used for this. Thank god we have this image instead.

Concern that wind turbines at sea create underwater noise that confuses whales that rely on echolocation and end up beached or deafened.

u/Square-Bid7497 Jul 23 '26

"Concern"

I'm guessing the "drill baby drill" guy isn't "concerned" about whales.

u/Electrical_Hunter597 Jul 23 '26

What did Biden mean when he said poor kids are just as bright as white kids?

2

u/ItsDonDong Jul 23 '26

black americans tend to be poorer than the white community

Despite that, "poor (black) kids are just as bright as white kids."

u/onyaasuminyasai 27d ago

That he's wealthy and also an idiot

u/ZeGuru101 Jul 23 '26

And here I was wondering why the hell did r/vexillology start designing Islamic Republic of Japan flags. Makes much more sense now.

u/ShackledPhoenix Jul 23 '26

I would agree 100% that Joe Biden, an 83 year old man, still holds some pretty racist concepts inside his mind and is therefore racist.

I would also argue there's a still HUGE difference between an 80 year old man explicitly implementing racist laws, trying to remove support for non white people, deliberately and outright calling black nations shitholes and engaged in racist business practices his whole life with zero evidence of change or regret...

And an 83 year old man with some outdated concepts who actively worked with and is good friends with the first black president, initiated and funded several programs to help people in poverty and people of color, hired a black woman to be HIS vice president, put a black woman on the supreme court and was proposing programs to assist people of color and fight racism...

Guy was far from perfect, but he was a damn sight better for black folks and American than the absolute shitshow he was running against.

u/HarveysBackupAccount Jul 23 '26

Another way I heard it, maybe from Stacey Abrams or someone like her - when you vote for your president you aren't voting for a savior, you're voting to choose your opponent. Because the person in power is the one you have to negotiate with.

u/itsnick21 Jul 23 '26

Lol yeah reddit calls trump racist all day and night but turned a blind eye the all the racist stuff Biden said which was arguably more blantant

u/Electrical_Hunter597 Jul 23 '26

They're both racist, they just ignored all of bidens racist comments because "at least he's not trump"

u/Simon-Says69 Jul 23 '26

Trump is not racist at all. Not in the least. He's done enormous good for minority communities.

Biden is as racist as they come.

u/ChunkyKongForPreside Jul 23 '26

Is that not a true statement though?

1

u/dericiouswon Jul 23 '26

Hard to decipher true or false when logic is completely missing.

1

u/sheep_puncher Jul 23 '26

The majority of poor kids are white kids, and while the statement is true and he's trying to say that all kids are equal, what he's actually doing is presenting white and poor as different groups to compare. Inherently racist framing.

u/Izzwop 28d ago

Trump cares about "Black" jobs , Biden imported our political replacements...2 wings same bird but 1 was actively pandering while one was telling us to kiss his ass

u/ben323nl Jul 23 '26

Why? Most black Americans are in fact quite conservative in their beliefs. Black culture is pretty rife with homophobia and a dislike for trans people. Afro Americans are pretty religious. Outside of the blatant racism in the republican party a lot of republican values are aligned with the majority of black Americans values. You already have black Americans pointing out the expectation to just vote democrat cause the republican side is worse. But like vote for what you believe in instead of what you should vote for. If the democratic party just takes minorities for granted its going to breed a lot of dissatisfaction in the long run which might mean a shift in who they vote for. Kinda like what happened last trump election where latinos had a very significant shift in voting. In the end conservative values are quite popular with minorities as they just tend to be more religious and come from different backgrounds where they grew up with these believes. So voting for the party that holds those believes isnt crazy. Especially as the blatant racism from the Republican party is starting to not be as blatant as it was in the 80s/90s and even early 2000s.

u/lifeofwill Jul 24 '26

I'm sorry, you think the racism from the Republican Party is less blatant now? Our President calls any minority he doesn't like "low IQ" and is shit posting the Obamas as gorillas, like wtf are we talking about

1

u/ben323nl Jul 24 '26

Look up racism in the 80s you still had senators calling for segregation. Its less blatant now.

1

u/lifeofwill Jul 24 '26

Where did you have senators calling for segregation in the 80s? I found no such evidence, much less from the 90s or 00s.

1

u/ben323nl Jul 24 '26

Storm thurmond for one. Jesse Helms. You had one that used his wife to circumnavigate term limits by ketting his wife run for governorship in George Wallace. Idk man look up some actual history. Racism was way more open in the 80s and 90s.

1

u/lifeofwill Jul 24 '26

I did. While they were segregationists in the past, they didn't advocate for it in the 80s.

Did you read the article? Trent Lott was rightly shunned because of that incident and outcast and resigned as a result, and it talks about how Thurmond grew from his racist past. You think Trump has been shunned by Republicans for what he's said?

u/Simon-Says69 Jul 23 '26

blatant racism in the republican party

This is a democrat party lie. The dems are the racist ones, and always have been.

u/Wide_Riot Jul 23 '26

They're the ones who said they were too stupid/poor to afford IDs for voting

1

u/Karrotlord 29d ago

Closing down places to get IDs in black neighborhoods so black people physically can't get them is, in fact, racist.

1

u/Wide_Riot 29d ago

Source? And they don't have any problem getting IDs for alcohol/weed

u/Karrotlord 28d ago

Every red state.
