BET co-founder blasts Biden over comments on black voters: 'Arrogant and out-of-touch attitude'

Religio-Political Talk

"I never discuss anything except politics and religion. There is nothing else to discuss." ~ G.K. Chesterton


. . . "Biden has benefited by his hiding-in-the-basement strategy, which allows his handlers to minimize his gaffes. But even in that controlled environment, Biden gonna Biden, a preview of the general election.
[….]
"A good example of what the general election holds in store for when Biden no longer can hide was revealed during a Biden appearance on The Breakfast Club, hosted by ‘Charlamagne Tha God’:
BIDEN: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.
CTG:“It don’t have nothing to do with Trump, it has to do with the fact — I want something for my community.”….


"Vice President Biden’s statement today represents the arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not Black unless they vote for him," Johnson told Fox News. "This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though, we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets."

Dem Strategist Steps in It Big Time, Tries to Play a ‘Gotcha’ on Whether ‘You Ain’t Black’ ‘Models’ Are Trump Supporters

RedState


"Democrats never know when to quit.
"They keep trying to defend Joe Biden’s indefensible “You ain’t black” comment or spin it to be something less offensive that it is.
"Of course the problem is they’re trying to make it go away but it’s not something that people are going to forget.
"So what have Democrats and their willing agents in liberal media been trying concentrate on instead? How dare President Donald Trump point out Biden’s racist remarks or tell others about it!
"Republicans pounce!
"Democratic strategist Joel Payne tried that tactic on CBS, according to Townhall:
“Within hours they had these t-shirts, ‘you ain’t black,’ that were on sale at the president’s online store,” a CBS host asked Democratic strategist Joel Payne, as pictures of two black models wearing the Trump campaign’s t-shirts appeared on the screen. “The campaign has confirmed a million-dollar ad blitz against the former vice president. Ads have already begun circulating online within hours. How does the Biden camp combat these kind of aggressive moves particularly online by the Trump campaign?”
The Democratic strategist answered by questioning whether the two “models” wearing the campaign’s t-shirts would actually vote for President Trump.
“It’s so interesting, the two models you showed showing those shirts, I wonder if they would actually vote for Donald Trump. That might be a good question for an industrious journalist to dig into,” said Payne.
"Never ask a question to which you don’t know the answer." . . .

Biden segregates voters into "black" and "ain't black"

“Ain’t black” is Biden’s “deplorables” moment. Yet his supporters seem oblivious to the lethal blow it has delivered to his prospects, just as Hillary Clinton didn’t comprehend the catastrophe of her “basket of deplorables” insult to half of America in 2016.  Miranda Devine
A ‘deplorables’ moment for Joe Biden shows why he won’t win the black vote . . . "It was a statement so staggeringly, primitively racist, that it landed like a gut punch to many black Americans, of all political persuasions, who took to the airwaves to denounce it over the weekend.
“ 'It played into the long-standing notion that the black vote is uncritical and guaranteed,” said left-wing writer Roxane Gay.
"Former NFL player Jack Brewer declared “the mask is off.”
“ 'Pure unadulterated hubris, the taking for granted of the black vote,” said ex-Bernie Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner, one of many who took issue with Biden’s patronizing use of the ungrammatical “ain’t.”
"Attempts by the Biden campaign to claim the comment was made “in jest” were futile, even as Democratic-friendly media such as CNN ignored the story." . . .

Gropey Joe Thinks He’s an Expert On What Minorities Should Think  . . . "But the Democrats have always had a special relationship with black Americans – “special” in the sense that it was especially horrible and abusive. Leaving aside the whole Democrat-initiated Civil War over Democrat slavery, the Democrat-founded KKK, and Democrat-imposed Jim Crow tyranny (a history they are still trying to rewrite today), Democrats still think that they owned a monopoly on black American votes." . . .


Pastor Scott at WH roundtable: ‘I’ve lived under 12 administrations, Trump has been the most pro-black president in my lifetime’
The pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, told Trump that “we have your back…because we know you have our back as well.”
Biden Apologizes for Saying Black Voters ‘Ain’t Black’ if They’re Considering Trump
. . . "The remark sparked immediate pushback on social media, with liberal activists and conservatives alike jumping on Mr. Biden, 77, for acting as the arbiter of blackness. His words also exposed wounds among Democrats that date to 2016, when many leaders felt the party took black voters for granted." . . .

Babylon Bee had their own version of this Bidenlogic:

Biden: 'If You Don't Let Me Sniff Your Hair, You Ain't A Woman'

Witnesses then walked in on Biden conversing with a Cabbage Patch doll who he mistook for a female interviewer. After hearing the news, feminists around the country responded by lining up outside Biden's house to get a complimentary hair sniff, thereby affirming their statuses as real women. 

Queen Elizabeth Snubbed Barack And Michelle Obama – Humiliated Them In Front Of The World

The American Mirror  "New reports have revealed that Queen Elizabeth brutally snubbed Barack and Michelle Obama during their time in the White House in a humiliating way for the former president and first lady.
"The U.K. Express reported that when Prince William married Kate Middleton back in 2011, over 1,900 people were invited to attend, including celebrities like Elton John, David Cameron, and David Beckham. The Queen personally invited forty heads of state to the wedding with gold-embossed invitations, but two people who did not receive this invite were Barack and Michelle.
"To make up for this snub from the Queen, the British government set up a state visit for the Obamas the month after the wedding, marking the first time such a visit from an American president would take place since 2002. It is believed that the added security cost of protecting Barack is partly what led to the Queen leaving them off the guest list, but nobody knows her reasoning for sure.
"Leaders from Australia, Canada and New Zealand were all invited, as were the kings and queens of European nations like Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Greece. Millions of people from all over the globe then tuned in to watch the wedding on television, making it the event of the year in the eyes of many.
"For Barack and Michelle, the snub must have been devastating, as it is known that they very much valued meeting the Queen and the royal family. In her memoir “Becoming,” Michelle recounted how she broke protocol during her first meeting with the Queen by touching her back." . . .

This, of course, was not the end of Michelle’s incendiary comments, though. She went on to insult the Queen, saying that her food wasn’t as good as what Michele was used to eating at the White House.

Biden Reelected Trump Last Friday

President Trump’s pre-pandemic job creation initiatives and criminal justice reform have done more for blacks in three years than Joe Biden accomplished in half a century backstroking around the swamp.


The American Spectator

The former VP’s patronizing remark was no jest and it was fatal to his campaign.
     "Usually, it’s necessary to wait until after a presidential election is over before it becomes possible to identify the point at which the dynamics of the contest began to favor the eventual winner. Occasionally, however, the turning point is blindingly obvious. President Reagan’s 1984 reelection, for example, was all but assured when Walter Mondale included a promise to raise taxes in his speech accepting the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Likewise, former Vice President Joe Biden almost certainly handed the 2020 election to President Trump last Friday when he told an African-American interviewer, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
     "That blunder not only unmasked Biden’s condescending attitude toward a bloc of voters without whose support he cannot hope to win, it revealed that his campaign is worried about poll numbers they’re seeing for those very voters. A new Quinnipiac poll shows that 81 percent of African-Americans support Biden. If that seems high, remember that Clinton won 88 percent of the black vote in 2016 and lost the election. African-American turnout was also down in 2016. In other words, Biden must turn out more black voters than did Hillary and win a larger percentage of their votes. Biden can’t win with 81 percent of a tepid African-American turnout and his campaign knows it.
.     "This is why the candidate condescended to be interviewed by Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.” Biden’s campaign recently rebooted his outreach to the black community and the interview was part of that effort. Charlamagne has real influence in the African American community. “The Breakfast Club” is among the most-listened-to morning radio shows in America, reaching millions of listeners every week, and Charlamagne boasts 2.1 million Twitter followers. Biden’s remark, for a lot of his listeners, reinforced the view that the Democratic Party takes the black vote for granted. Sunday morning, Charlamagne was asked on MSNBC if he believed that this was the Democratic attitude:

Democrats Will Sacrifice America to Win a Presidency

 Democrat overseers will make us pay to be free.  They do not understand suffering, and they like control.  They know not the absolute terror of being afraid you cannot pay your bills or feed your children. All Democrats are like Barack Obama, whose hardest day was when there was not a Marine available to hold his umbrella. . . .They do not care what happens to us; they care only about being in power.
William L. Gensert  "The Dems will not allow any semblance of normalcy to return until Trump and recalcitrant Republicans in the Senate agree to bail out Democrat-run states facing fiscal insolvency.  Democrat socialist policies have left states like California and Illinois with unsustainable pension obligations and exponentially growing deficits too dear for a shrinking tax base to sustain.
"Buying votes ain't cheap.
"Yet why would citizens, prudently residing in red states, acquiesce to paying for votes Democrats have bought in the past and wish to purchase in the future?
"They would not unless forced to.
"Democrat governors, in particular Newsom (Calif.), Pritzker (Ill.), Murphy (N.J.), and Cuomo (N.Y.), are like terrorists, unwilling to release their states from lockdown unless they get their ransom.
"The heck with the little people, the deplorables who refuse to see.  They need to be shown the error of their ways.  Should they perish in the process, they brought it upon themselves with their constant pleas of "I beg of you, let me work" and "I need to feed my family."
"Pelosi, with her three-trillion-dollar dream bill, demands just shy of a trillion dollars for state and local governments — you know, as a gift to balance their books.  This is the crux of her ask: bail out liberal mistakes and bad policy, or they and their minions in the media will counsel the wisdom of remaining closed indefinitely while blaming Trump for the all the misery." . . .

All Democrats are like Barack Obama, whose hardest day was when there was not a Marine available to hold his umbrella.

America at the Crossroad on Memorial Day 2020

It is this distinctive trait among all global communities which has motivated countless American men and women over the years to not only willingly take up arms to defend a land they cherish but to expend blood and treasure so they and others can live in peace and freedom.
Rich Terrell
American Thinker "The past three months have been a period of extreme trial and tribulation for the people of United States.  They are struggling to regain a sense of optimism and confidence in the face of what now appears to have been an unnecessary Wuhan Virus pandemic lockdown and the resultant dictatorial and unconstitutional behavior of many state and local politicians.   
     "Further, the citizenry is becoming increasingly aware of the Democrat party hierarchy’s illegal and unconstitutional utilization of the power of government to spy on and potentially depose a duly elected President.   Despite this exposure, this same cabal has unabashedly and deliberately exploited and prolonged the coronavirus crisis in an attempt to fundamentally transform the nation, defeat President Trump in November, and establish a permanent ruling class oligarchy.  
     "Nonetheless, far too many Americans are still obsequiously deferential to those whose only interest is themselves, their ideology, and their thirst for power.  Much of the populace, by dint of a woeful education, have accepted the falsehood that their country is one of an ignoble nature and history and that “American Exceptionalism” is a myth as this nation has plundered the planet and exploited mankind. 
     "As a consequence, the propaganda arm of the ruling class, the mainstream media, and their unceasing fear mongering about the coronavirus as well as their unrestrained defense of the Obama cabal’s attempted unconstitutional overthrow of the Trump Presidency, has fallen on fertile ground among much of the citizenry." . . .  More...
