Joe Biden has a long history of racist comments and he's said some incredibly dumb things over the years. I could go through a long list, from his comment in the 1970s about not wanting his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle" to the "you ain't black" if you don't know to vote for him more recently.
But he did an interview with a black radio host out of Milwaukee, Michelle Bryant, about a week ago and the audio of one of his comments on the show has now come out. It was truly bad, both with confusion and not being able to get a straight thought out as well as showing what a skewed perception he has of black families.
"For example, how many Black communities are in a situation where they come from a circumstance where they're in difficult, where they have difficulty? Where the families are in real trouble? Where you have people who...even those families that are really poor don't have any books in the house. Kids don't hear a lot of conversation."
What the heck? Poor black families don't have books in the house? And kids don't hear a lot of conversation? What does he think goes on in a black home? Does he think they don't talk or it's silent?
This isn't the first time he's had this weird racist perception of black families and poor families.
We heard from him how "poor kids" were just as bright and talented as "white kids." Apparently "poor kids" aren't "white kids," according to Joe Biden.
Perhaps the prior comment that he's made that is the most similar to this new one was the "record player" comment. He's asked about the legacy of slavery during a Democratic primary debate. His response was that parents didn't know how to raise their kids so social workers needed to go into homes, parents needed to play the radio or the record player. He even starts to say "phonograph" — that's how old he is.
His brain was already melted back then and that was in 2019. It's now five years later and it's only gotten worse.
And Biden wonders why he's losing the black vote and more are supportive of former President Donald Trump?
He should take a look at some of these crazy things he says. Not to mention the crazy policies he supports that hurt Americans, including black families.
But he won't.
