I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like this goes beyond the usual political-ad cropping and context removing into straight-up illegality. Would the Biden campaign— or even the original photographers— have a case?

Exactly. Google says there are 630 US Billionaires. So if 13.4% of America is black, there should be 84 black billionaires if opportunity is equal.
50% of white folks??? Did this include those dumb black conservatives? I’m pretty sure they identify themselves as white.
The eternal optimist buried deep within me wants to tell you that there’s still plenty of time for white people to come to their senses, but don’t hold your breath.
Serena Williams, while not Oprah rich or anything but still rich was treated like crap by medical professionals when she had her child. She had some complications and they didn’t believe her, obviously she survived and everything but yes black women tend to be treated worse than white women, regardless of class.

I will be very interested to see just how concerted an effort whites are going to put into trying to destroy Op.
“Oprah is a billionaire, one of half a dozen African-American billionaires & 880,000-plus black millionaires in America.”
I feel like it’s worth pointing out that, according to a fast googling, there are 630 billionaires and 18.6 million millionaires in the US. African Americans make up ~ 13% of the US population…
He was clearly giving back a “do you beat your wife” absurdity, to make a point. A quick and sharp point, by the way.
“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,”
Last choice? C’mon now, I know it has been a few months since it all ended but did you forget that Michael Bloomberg was also sort of in the primary? And Klobuchar? And Mayo Pete? Biden wasn’t in my top ten but there were a lot worse on the ballot.
I mean, the wording is pretty clearly saying he thinks this is “when did you stop beating your wife” shit and is turning it on the asker, but I prefer to think he’s just been to parties with Barnett before and is actually asking.
The COVID pandemic is the best thing that could have happened to Biden politically. It highlighted Trump’s lack of crisis management skills, derailed the economic expansion and, most importantly, allowed Biden to avoid extensively and exhaustively traveling the country making unscripted appearances. There’s talk of…
It’s almost as if Capitalism’s replacement should not be a theory that’s almost 200 years old.
