BET Founder: Biden Should Apologize to ‘Every Black Person’ He Meets

Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden made a huge racial gaffe in an era of racial gaffes.  It happened on a radio interview with host Charlamagne Tha God, when he claimed that black voters who are considering President Trump “ain’t black.”

Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television made fun of the man who served as Vice President to the nation’s first African American President Barack Obama:

“VP Biden’s statement today represents the, arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves that they are not Black unless they vote for him,” he said.  “This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though, we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets.”

Wow.  If Biden has lost the founder of BET, he might want to rethink his rhetoric.  One of the biggest lies that liberals have told American voters is that they’re the party for minorities.  Biden’s comments show this liberal entitlement has gotten worse.  Why should white liberals dictate how black people vote?  They definitely should not.  But there’s no one more racially obtuse than white, upper class liberals.  It seems racist to me to assume that African Americans must vote in a certain way, instead of evaluating the evidence and making up their own minds.

Cue Joe Biden’s apology, which came within hours of the gaffe.

“I should not have been so cavalier. I’ve never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted,” he told black business leaders.  “I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy … I shouldn’t have been so cavalier … No one should have to vote for any party based on their race, their religion, their background.”

True.  If the Democratic party acted like they had to actually earn the votes of black Americans, our politics would dramatically improve.
