I don't get what people are so worked up about. Joe is known not to be a good speaker, and you can't tell the full context of this clip. It is likely he was referring to some specific black woman who was stocking groceries. He was probably trying to be complimentary but it came out wrong.

Because of this gaffe? It's hard to even get the full context of this. You know voting 3rd party in a close election is a waste right? You are better off making a choice for Trump or Biden. If you don't, you can't complain about whoever wins afterwards.

How is it a wasted vote? And yes you can still complain, if you believe the two major parties candidates both suck, or simply do not represent you. In 2012 I wrote in for President. Because neither Romney or Obama represented me. I didn't consider that a wasted vote and my conscience was clear knowing I didn't vote for someone with whom I didn't agree with.

Wondered if this clip was doctored when I first saw it, but its in a bunch of different places.

Joe Biden was able to stay home during the pandemic because a Black woman stocked the grocery shelf.

These people are so out of touch its funny.
"some black woman"?

She doesn't have a name? She doesn't have a job title? She's just "some black woman"?

WT actual F!

That is precisely the racist part. He assumes the stocker is Black.
