Slow learner, apparently.

Biden being Barack’s VP was pretty simple; he needed a somewhat affable, old white dude to sway reluctant white Democrats to vote for him. I mean, that was it, more or less.

Thank you so much for this!

Bingo, white folks don’t like it when your mean to old white folks. IT’s why Trump can be the grossest meanest person in a debate and no one cares, but if anyone talk bad to the man’s face they take a hit.

Maybe, but if his falling on the sword is what it takes to reveal Biden as the fraud he is, then so be it.

The other stuff is bad because it’s super fucking racist, but the record player part is just another Wacky Biden Gaffe -- much more comfortable ground for an overwhelmingly white political media.

By fucked up you must mean “didn’t consider white people’s fragile feelings” because that’s the only way him questioning Biden on that stage is a fuck up. Someone needs to and pretending that Biden is coherent is a goddamn problem.

Not sure if it’s my wife being Hispanic and seeing how white people including loved ones react to her or just general observations over the shitshow of a past 4 years, but I definitely saw the rampant tone-policing going on when it came to Castro rightfully calling out Biden. I think it’s something I never saw growing…

Dancing dentures. Damn!

I’m white AF but I know exactly what you’re talking about, having worked quite a bit with Divine Nine orgs in my career. I see Bidens everywhere in the college admin. setting and hope never to be one myself.

The record player thing seemed like a huge I’m really out of touch gaffe to me. I mean, the only people with record players (besides obsessive audiophiles) are white hipsters with pristine Miles Davis and Coltrane records they refuse to play because they don’t want to wear them out and ruin the value. 

The same ones paying you to lick the ass crack of Bernie “DeadBeat Dad No Job Until Forty” Sanders.

Come on... Somebody at the Root HAS TO discuss that assine answer that Biden gave about his old stance on reparations for slavery. That was some of the worst anti black shit I’ve ever heard on television. He literally said that black people don’t know how to raise their children. Why is everyone so focused on the…

But Phillips isn’t the only person writing articles glossing over the fact that Biden is only on stage because a black man picked him to join his crew.

I knew that the usual suspects in the Times, WaPo etc. would be accusing castro of being a meanie but goddammit they outdid themselves with the shovelful of bullshit they’ve printed. Do they think Trump is going to take it easy on him?

So, he just NOW figured it out?...

Damn it. Thank you. Castro seemed a little pissed. And he probably IS pissed that he continues to be expected to treat another white guy talking out of his ass with reverence. And if Biden can’t formulate a response to some legitimate criticism, clarify his policy, and stop interrupting everyone, thats on him.

Don’t you just hate it when you’ve sold your soul and didn’t get your check? 

It’s almost like anyone but apparently him could have seen this all coming. Weird.
