This is ridiculous. I love the opportunity to dunk on liberals and Biden as much as the next person, but I actually listened to that part of the clip yesterday and Biden had no racial connotation in what he said. He was just trying to relate to the area impacted by the storm in a time of crisis.

For bitching about liberal snowflakes so much, a lot of conservatives are equally as bad with the “gotcha” shite on Biden too.

You may be 100% correct, and it still doesn't touch the double standard.

What Trump said about bad people crossing the border to this day is held up as proof positive of him being a racist and it is just as clear in that quote that he was in no way saying all Mexican people are bad.

I agree that using common sense standards, it was probably nothing. Using the left's own standard for these things, Biden might as well have been wearing blackface. And I suspect you know this.

When Biden says these things everyone says, "Well, you know that's not really what he meant, he just misspoke." When a Republican says anything remotely approaching something like this there is literally rending of clothes and teeth gnashing.

Democrats get the benefit of the doubt and the benefit of their intentions vs their words. Republicans don't get any benefit and have intentions ascribed to them that aren't even reflected in what they actually said.

Not to mention, even if Biden was 100% sincere and the comment had no racial connotations for him, so what?

Just not being sensitive enough to anticipate who might be offended by your completely innocent speech is supposed to be white privilege, isn't it? And white privilege pretty much equals racism, doesn't it?

Again, by the left's own standards.

bullshite analysis - we are not the ones going around searching year-book autographs for some joke told as a teenager - all we are doing is tossing back the absolute hypocrisy of the DEMs into their faces once in a while.

Are you suggesting anyone is saying there was "racial animous" in that choice of words???

hell no - that is the POINT -

now, find ask what any DEM would say had this been uttered by Donald Trump to his good friend Al Sharpton back in the day. Even if they both laughed about it.

I guess you don't remember when the left lost their collective minds when Trump called people thugs.

So, you don't think hypocrisy should be called out and recognized?

If Trump even thought of using the word “boy” in reference to a black man…..

Standing in pretty rows and playing by the rules is what put this country in the zhitter.

Biden GETS NO QUARTER because DEMOCRATS give no quarter.

Sorry dude, there is no context where calling a grown black man a "boy" is acceptable.

You're one of those guys that was calling for Matt Gaetz to do the right thing and resign right?
Never use the tactics of the left because it's just not prim and proper right?
Yet here we are all prim and proper and being above board and watching our nation turn into a dystopian nightmare.

So Biden is not a good ally to POCs? Why doesn’t he ALWAYS consider his words thru a racial lens? Does he need to attend the HR training again?
