"if you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, then you ain't black"

[Chesterton]

Or perhaps what they want to see is MORE emboldenned racists treating them like garbage because of the colour of their skin.

It's hard to say why blacks would vote for Biden over Trump.

How do you embolden people to treat people like garbage? That doesn't even make sense.

I was responding to the comment in the off-topic video @hislegacy shared.

You quoted me in post #37. Did you intend to reply to Hislegacy?

By "record-breaking", did you mean the 38.6 million people who've filed for unemployment in the last two months?

Or did you mean how minorities are over-represented among "essential workers"?
Minorities, more likely to have jobs that make them 'essential workers,' disproportionately affected by COVID-19

Who could possibly be disappointed with any of that?

A friend of mine was telling me there's been some virus going around.

Your talking points were absurd to begin with, but they're especially amusing now that they're a few months out of date.

Me: I like Michael Phelps. He's a great swimmer.
You: Oh, his swimming? You're going with those talking points?

Because you replied to my question I directed @hislegacy.

You'll understand if you just imagine Trump saying those things instead of Biden.

Did you intend to answer my question?

Does that automatically mean you're not black if you're not planning on voting for Biden?

If a majority of black people are planning on voting for Biden, then there are a minority of black people who are not planning on voting for Biden. This is not complicated.

Does that mean that if a black person doesn't vote for Biden, then he isn't really black? Or more specifically, "if you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me (Biden) or Trump, then you ain't black"?

Now, imagine if Trump were to say in a rally, "if you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Biden, then you ain't white". It would make news headlines as being a racist statement.

 

[hislegacy]

Do you think that’s what he meant in that out-of-context snippet you shared?

I was responding to the comment in the off-topic video @hislegacy shared in post 28.

The video is not out of context, but further proof of Joe Biden putting his foot, not just into his mouth, but all the way down his throat. It happens continuously. The DNC, their media and their loyal followers are working overtime trying to cover him.

Haha, we all know Trump only makes jokes, never racist statements.

All you need for the answer is to do what I said, and then use your own reasoning that you apply to Trump, and then you'll have your answer. I'm not going to do your thinking for you, but am trying to get you to do it yourself.

I take it you don't have an answer to the question I asked (and that you quoted).

We don’t have to imagine when we can just see for ourselves what Trump thinks of the choice black voters really have.

Now you're attempting to distract from what we're talking about. Yeah, making a whataboutism, which is a term your political side invented.
So how about getting back to explaining to us how you think it's ok for Biden to make racist stereotype comments against black people. Since you're of the same political bent as Biden, I'm confident you'll be able to explain it if you choose to do so as opposed to trying to divert attention away from the subject by using the "Yeah, but what about Trump?" method of distraction.

Why are you bringing Trump into the discussion?

Biden says he’s going go beat himself while talking about his record. He’s going to beat his own record is how I interpreted that. If you see anything wrong with that statement, please point it out to me. Anything Trump might or might not have said has no bearing on what is being discussed here.

Sir, you’re the one who first brought Trump into this thread.

You'll understand if you just imagine Trump saying those things instead of Biden.

I’m just replying to what you brought up.

 

[Aldebaran]

Sir, you’re the one who first brought Trump into this thread.

We're still waiting for an explanation as to why it's ok for Biden to make racist statements against black people.
I also have a feeling we're going to be waiting for a very, very long time. Probably until sometime after the November election.

You’re going to have to explain what specifically was racist about anything Biden said.

Looks like a non-issue to me.

 

[Aldebaran]

I brought up the question about why you don't have a problem with Biden's racist statements. Still waiting for a reply to it.

 

[essentialsaltes]

I take it you don't have an answer to the question I asked (and that you quoted).

A: No, it was a comedic exaggeration.
