A true picture of the man the Democrats call "front runner" is emerging from Joe Biden. It's not very flattering. This is a speech he gave in Ohio in 1973. In it among other things, he demeans a woman reporter by calling her "lovely" and then going on to say that both Democrats & Republican politicians are "Good for the Negro".

This while falsely claiming to have marched in the Civil Rights Movement.
"Former Vice President Joe Biden, the current 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner, made racially insensitive remarks and comments women might find offensive in a 1973 speech."

(and yeah, some of you Biden apologists will immediately dismiss this because it's coming from Bretbart but the audio of the speech is there for anyone willing to listen)

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.

Many blacks did call themselves Negroes in 1973 (hell, it was still an option on the last Census), even as the term African American or black was becoming more widely used. Still, this revelation won't be looked at that way in the eyes of the masses today, and I can't that I am sympathetic to Crazy Uncle Joe.

People used words 50 years ago that are no longer commonly used and some are even considered impolite now! News at 11pm!

But maybe you wanna confuse some white supremacist to vote for trump? Maybe
So you didn't actually listen to what he actually said.



BTW, this has nothing to do with Alex Jones, Fox, or Trump.

As much as I dislike Biden, even I can admit this is extremely weak sauce.

Any black person knows the term Negro was commonly used as a terms of endearment back in those days. Ever heard of the "United Negro College Fund?"

Have a transcript you can link?


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?

Gee, let's hope if Joe succeeds despite the deep-digging Trumplings are doing he doesn't hire a Secretary of State he later refers to as "dumb as a rock" as others have done.
