I firmly believe we witnessed a seismic shift in
the political landscape yesterday following the online interview between
Charlamagne Tha God and former Vice President Joe Biden on The Breakfast Club.
It was towards the end of the interview that Biden
said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump,
then you ain’t black.”
The backlash was
immediate.
Symone Sanders, Biden’s
campaign adviser, defended Biden stressing, “The comments made at the end of
The Breakfast Club interview were in jest, but let’s be clear about what the VP
was saying: he was making the
distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up
against Trump’s any day. Period.”
If you listen to the interview, you will hear a Biden
staffer interrupt the radio host attempting to cut short the interview saying,
“That’s really our time, I apologize.”
Charlamagne declared, “You can’t do that to black
media.” He then added, “Listen, you’ve
got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden. It’s a long way until
November. We’ve got more questions.”
That was the moment
Biden committed the unforgiveable sin. “You’ve got more questions?” Biden
replied. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether
you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
The firestorm raged for hours.
At 3:32 PM, CBS
reporter Ed O'Keefe tweeted that Biden had apologized on a call of black
business leaders with the US Black Chambers (USBC): "I should not have
been so cavalier. I've never, never, ever taken the African American community
for granted. I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy. No one should have to vote
for any party based on their race, their religion, their background."
Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan once said, “Blacks are like mannequins in the shopping mall of
democracy.”
You and I might not
agree with that statement, but when Joe Biden has a terminal case of absurd
verbal diarrhea, is it any wonder Calypso Louie has such a following.
The Breakfast Club put up a poll on Twitter and
the final results are devastating for Plantation Joe:

Imagine how confusing it must have been for Rachel Dolezal when deciding whether or not to condemn Joe today.— Carpe Donktum🔹 (@CarpeDonktum) May 23, 2020
