It’s so amusing to watch this clown day to day. How long before no one is willing to admit that they support Weekend at Bernie’s man? He’s making his supporters look more foolish each and every day. Someone please give him the order to “get back into the basement and try not to soil yourself while you babble and drool”.
Don’t worry folks, it’s only a little over one year until the impeachment fun begins.

Biden had been called out on making racist statements in the past, was used against him in one of the presidential primaries. It’s just not a age gaffe
Ugly Kid Joe delivered the eulogy for segregationalist and KKK member Robert Byrd.
Plenty of real problems with this administration. No need to make stuff up out of whole cloth.
There's the whole double-standard thing. We know that if Trump had said the exact same thing, the shrieking from the media and Biden's supporters would reach the skies.
I haven't watched the video, but what does black have anything to do with Satchel Page's achievements? I'm so sick and tired of race being brought up in literally everything.
If you're a great person, you're a great person, black, white, purple, Asian, blue, red, whatever. Leave race out of it.
You can't pander if you don't bring up color, sexual orientation or some other identity.
Without pandering and calling everyone racists, Democrats wouldn't have anything at all.
And people want to, terrorize and put down which is given. Which anyone not old, including an old legacy name of organizations, would be doing by choosing to use Negro in this day. They are activing trying to pick a fight and then say 'what did I do", while knowing exactly what they did. Which is why the thread was spawned when an old man reverted. Is the OP is trying to say that President Biden was picking a fight and/or he no longer has complete command? That Negro, when chosen to be used has became a minor slur in American English probably is born in the days when Negro was substituted for the "N word" for safe broadcast TV and radio performances.
When Archie Bunker used "colored" no insult was intended even if the Meathead shook his head by the use of e term the was closer in time to its actual use than Negro is in America today to its being dropped for common usage and supplanted by first Black and then African American by the mid 1970s.
"Afro-American" for about eight seconds between black and African-American.
I personally usually use "black" myself.
But a story: At my high school graduation ceremony, I was given a scholarship from what was known to be a very conservative (white) men's lodge in that Oklahoma town. The old guy at the podium--probably as old then as Biden is now--started his speech saying, "This is the first time we've given this scholarship to a colored boy...."
There was a collective gasp across the audience. But it didn't bother me. First, a lot of black people his age still used "colored." Second, they were giving me money, so I didn't figure he'd come there to insult me.
Edit: He actually said "colored boy"

Good for you Ralph! We all know that the truth is that not all people of any race are any one specific thing.

I have a lot of respect for people who give others the benefit of the doubt. Class act (pardon the pun).
