Joe Biden, Blacks and the Democrat party   E. Ablorh-Odjidja August 08, 2020   There is a contemptible reporting going on in the media.  But some among us just don’t care, for as long as it does not cast Democrats as racists.   So, the contempt continues.  This is what blind loyalty to one political party gets you.  And we are seeing it all in the personage of Joe Biden and his utterances.   Here was Joe Biden patronizing Blacks, or better yet, insulting the Black Geist by stating that our approach to and understanding of issues are less complex when compared to that of Hispanics.   In his own words, “By the way, what you all know but most people don’t know, unlike the African-American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”   The remark was made to a group of Black and Latino journalists.  For emphasis, he said “incredible different attitudes about different things..”   Be happy then.  According to Biden all Blacks think alike on all issues.   Also note that there has been silence since from the entire leadership of the Black community, from Al Sharpton to Jesse Jackson downward, which is mostly Democrat.  No comment about Biden’s despicable and racist remark.   No surprise here.  When you make your bed with Democrats you must sleep with them.   This silence may mean deep ignorance on Biden’s part.  But it is hard to explain this in the midst of the many disparaging things Biden has said of Blacks in the past.   On Obama, he said, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy…. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”   He said this during the 2008 presidential campaign to promote Obama.    He must have meant well, but I doubt.  He is old enough to know many “mainstream African-Americans" who were articulate and bright and clean, who came before Obama.    Martin Luther King, Fredrick Douglass, DuBois, Malcolm X, Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael), all out at the stroke “of the first mainstream African-American” and relegated to obscurity by Biden.   But we must believe Biden because he is a Democrat.   Biden told “Charlamagne tha God" on the latter’s radio show that “You ain’t black” if you wouldn’t vote for him.    And that, friends, was an expression of his true belief.   To which remark Tim Scott, Sen from South Carolina described as “arrogant and condescending comments.    And that the comment was not surprising, considering Biden’s record in "sponsoring a crime bill in the 1990s that jailed more African-American males than any other legislation."   Mind you, Tim Scott is the only Black Republican at the Senate.  The other two are Booker and Carmella Harris, Democrats and they were both silent on the issue.   The comparison to Hispanics was the latest pile on from Biden.   However, if Black leaders have chosen to be silent, the media, always never reluctant to defend Democrat positions on all issues, have not been stifled by the obvious insult embedded in Biden’s description of African Americans.   CNN, MSNBC and the likes of MSM, quickly jumped in to do the clean up for Biden's faux pas.   In short, they affirmed in unison, that Hispanics are more diverse because of their geographic origins.   Not surprising, any Google search to capture what Biden actually said brings up the skewed excuses from the same media sources for what they thought happened.   But, the knee-jerk attempt to defend Biden only exposed more of the contempt most from the liberal community have for Blacks.   In truth and like Biden, they see Blacks as more homogeneous and beholden to the Democrat party.    So geographic diversity in origins must explain the difference between Hispanic thought on matters relating to politics!   As the average American must know, African Americans are Blacks from many parts of the globe; originally from Africa, which is now made up of 54 countries at the last count.    Additionally, they also come from the Caribbean, South and Central America to add up the number.    And some, like most Hispanics, also come from Europe, speak diverse languages including Spanish, more so than Hispanics, yet are described as the group less diverse in political thoughts by Biden.   What a remarkable insult!   And remember, “they going to put you all back in chains,” Biden said at Danville, Virginia, during the 2012 presidential campaign.   Bold, arrogant, degrading view on Blacks but he was quickly forgiven.   For Joe Biden, the Black mindset is more uniform, less complex and easy to read.   Yet, there are superior minds within our Black community, far superior than mine, who will think nothing of Joe Biden’s racist remark.    For them, to be a true racist the same words spoken by Biden must come from a Republican before it could assume the coloration of racism.    Well, how about “shit-hole,” anyone?   Considering what Blacks have done for Democrats and lately Biden, we should all be offended by the ingratitude as well as the contempt shown in Joe’s remark.   “Rep. Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking African American in Congress and an influential figure in South Carolina politics, endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday.”    “Clyburn's endorsement comes ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, where Biden needs a win in order to keep his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination alive.”  Wrote CNN on February 26, 2020.     “Biden’s chances rose dramatically on February 29 in the South Carolina primary….The state’s large Black electorate flooded the polls to give Biden a dominating victory that set in motion his stunning rise in the Democratic race.   “No, it wasn’t white voters who saved Biden. It was Blacks!”  The Chicago Crusader had concluded in March 2020.   The observation of ingratitude is inescapable.  But nowhere to be seen in the media of today.    Rather, they insist that what Biden said about Blacks was either misunderstood or taken out of context.   Trust the biased media; watching the same thing happen, time and time again, and then telling us a different thing other than the reality of what happened.   But don’t blame the media.  As particular an odious a remark as this Biden's comment on the African-American Geist is, there would still be many Blacks who would continue to think that liberals and Democrats, which most in the media are, cannot be racist.   Just wait till you hear from the next Black person around you about Joe Biden.   E.
