I feel like your pushing for people to click the link, this is becoming more common here. Are these right wing sites struggling so much that they have to run fake post to advertise their site?
I tend to avoid links posted by some of these Trump cultists unless I recognize them as legitimate sites.
biden is responding to a question about southern senators becoming "warmer to the problems of the negro in america". his response is actually in defense of republican politicians in the south.
Biden also defended Nixon around this time too. He had an incredible talent for being on the wrong side of history.
What did the African American community call themselves in 1973. It would help to at least have a frame of reference here. I know what it was, and I also know the term "African American" was not popular until late 80's at the earliest.
I don't think Biden will win the nomination, not sure why efforts like these are necessary. Reason why? Black people will vote for the candidate that they believe can beat Trump, Biden slides and they will move to the next one. The Black vote seems to be more practical than anything else at this time.
Or they'll vote for Trump-
Quote:
President Donald Trump’s approval rating among likely black voters registered at 36 percent this week, which is a 17-point increase from the time last year, when it was only 19 percent.
According to exit polling conducted by NBC News, Trump received just 8 percent of the African American vote in the 2016, so there is definitely a lot of room for improvement.
By contrast, the highest percentage of the African-American vote garnered by a Republican presidential candidate in recent decades is 12 percent by former Sen. Bob Dole in 1996.
So, a choice between a guy who used the word "negro" back when this term was still widely used versus someone who refused to rent to black folks until he settled after a lawsuit? Gee, whiz, I'm not sure...
Joe Biden's comment involved Blacks. I figured that particular part was picked because it involves Blacks. And the threads I dug up, I'm learning more and more.

Except that the latter didn't happen, and you didn't listen to Biden's actual speech.
