It is a non-issue, but Breitbart suggested Biden said something outrageous and racist, and all the right-wingers here jumped to support the argument, but even they are realizing there is nothing racist in the comment. Its a good example of how the media controls people thoughts.

Pure BS. Immigrants from Africa who have become US citizens are African-Americans.

I still today have come into contact with well meaning white conservatives who want to call me "brother" and give me the "soul brother handshake." I'm like dude, where have you been for the last 45 years?

Exactly. It’s beyond offensive to assume a group of people think alike based on their skin color.

When are black people going to finally wake up and stop supporting these Democratic scum?

Are they running for POTUS? No. Focus on Biden's long-documented and continuing racism. He's the Dem candidate.

Just don't ever call a Nigerian in America an African American. Even if he is a citizen.

Is he/she not from Africa? It's the same with Asian-Americans. They're from a very wide range of Asian countries from India to Japan, etc.

Are you going to answer my question?

You pulled the race card (and did it again), and I asked you to explain yourself. Are you willing to do that?
