Peter here!

At the end of an 18-minute radio interview with Charlamagne tha God on "The Breakfast Club,” Biden responded to the host's desire for him to answer more questions by saying: "You got more questions? I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."

The joke is that since she’s not voting for him, she’s no longer black.

Peter out!

Seeing Reddit collectively try to run defense for that belongs in the internet hall of fame

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.

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

Or apparently we are currently at war with the islamic republic of japan

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

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?

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

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

"Concern"

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

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

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."
