the only people who care about Biden's comment to Charlemagne are white people who dislike Biden
it's amazing it's being talked about while America is burning
first off, while i am ethnically caucasian i am not 'white'. again, even though ethnically i am derived from a people coming from the range of the caucasus, knowing me most/all americans would likely consider me a brown minority. now that that's out of the way, i have black friends and colleagues who were pissed at what he said
i feel it's very relevant to the current events going on, as it was yet another example of a rich white privileged politician minimizing the black voice and black identity to whatever he/she wanted it to be. part of the current issues at hand includes the unfortunate fact that blacks voices are not valued, so him deciding to speak on this in light of all of that was very rich immo
with regards to the other posts, i honestly wouldn't have cared and wouldn't have been critical had biden decided not to say anything. similarly, i haven't gotten all up in arms about what trump has been saying as it's been status quo with his usual schtick of sowing discord amongst the people.
i stick by my original comment RE 'talk is cheap', and would rather see actual action/policy change rather than the fluff we're always given.
what was more beneficial for the black community, this current situation, and our country as a whole - the speech biden gave today or his 94 crime bill?
