‘Gaffe Machine’ Joe Biden Once Again Insults Black Americans

Complaints about Joe Biden hiding from the press in his Delaware basement are validated virtually every time he conducts an interview without a teleprompter. Biden proved this point once again by insinuating African Americans are a monolithic group that lacks diverse views on political issues.

Axios: “During a series of interviews at a convention for Black and Hispanic journalists (NABJ/NAHJ), Biden said: ‘Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things.’”

Biden’s comments came just a few days after he lashed out at an African American journalist for asking if he had taken a cognitive test. He went on to ask the journalist if he was taking cocaine or a “junkie.”

“No, I haven’t taken a test,” Biden said. Why the hell would I take a test? C’mon, man. That’s like saying, ‘You — before you got on this program you took a test where you’re taking cocaine or not, what do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?'”

In May, Biden told a popular African American radio host that he “wasn’t black” if he had any trouble deciding who to support in November.

“Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Joe Biden’s slew of degrading comments toward the African American community put a spotlight on his campaign’s strategy of hiding the candidate in his basement and minimizing the number of unscripted statements he makes.
