Black Community Rages At Biden Racist Comments…


President Joe Biden enraged the black community with his recent racist comments saying blacks don’t know how to use a computer or get online. The meme world exploded with satire regurgitating the President’s comments.

Your link begins with the premise “ Biden, the illegitimate president” and chooses to take Biden’s words out of context.

Consider an alternative source that includes the actual transcript.

https://remezcla.com/culture/preside...-use-internet/

Biden was responding to a question about why black and Hispanic people are not being vaccinated at a rate consistent with their risks.

He responded that not everybody in the Hispanic and black community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/ or inner city know how to get online to get in line for an appointment at Walgreens .....

Biden subsequently clarified he was referring to the older population, like himself.

So the leader of the free world is incapable of using the internet or getting in line at Walgreens?

And another example of how 'taken out of context' is an okay excuse for one side of the political aisle, but not the other.

In the case of this particular statement, if he was talking about older people, as is suggested above, then why bring race into it? Are old white people more able to use the internet? "Out of context" has absolutely no bearing here.

Sorry peeps, there's no way around this one, and there's no 'taken out of context'. It was an idiotic, racist thing to say.

My thing is this. Yalls blacks folks voted for Joe biden because trump is a racist. Yalls blacks elected and voted for another racist president instead. You get what you vote for.

It's so bad for the black community. That black pastors will have to start doing vaccines.

In fairness, they voted for someone with more of an actual documented history of racism than Trump. Ironic, isn’t it?
