Trump and his allies are trying to capitalize off "You Ain't Black." |
Let me be clear, this is a distraction and an op from the Donald J. Trump campaign. They know that this COVID-19 pandemic is an absolute chaotic disaster. In order to take our eyes off the real issues, Trump and his allies are distracting us with a bunch of meaningless words.
This is what the Republican Party, Fox News, talk radio, leftist agitators and the far-white are going to be spending a portions of the election year doing. They are going to play on the culture wars once again to muddy up the Democratic nominee to paint him as a remotely weak contender.
So instead of working to earn Black votes, the Republicans and leftists are going to dictate what's racist and what's not. It's often white people who were most offended by the remarks.
Trump managed to pull in 10% of the Black vote. His campaign is trying to use a "culture war" tactic to distract Americans from his disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Yes, Charlamagne Tha God, Terrence K. Williams, Darrell Scott, Charles Payne, Harris Faulkner, (Jeffery) Shaun King, Tariq Nasheed, Diamond & Silk and Benjamin Dixon are injecting that disinfectant into their skins. They seething the toxic brew of bullshit.
I was not offended by "You Ain't Black Enough!"
I would be offended if the current president was caught on audiotape calling a former Black contestant Omarosa Manigault-Newman a NIGGER and he paid his producers to bury it before the election in 2016.
Wondering why ain't no one leaking that shit out?
I mean Trump calling Blacks, NIGGERS ain't really going to make me mad. It would make me mad that he's deliberately hiding his past remarks to stifle his mere 10% of the Black vote.
Trump is just gonna make me more likely to oppose Republicans.
Far-right agitators Diamond & Silk and Terrence K. Williams touch an uncomfortable Donald Trump. |
Do you actually believe that Republicans deserve to regain control of Washington, given the messes we're in?
The Republicans and Trump campaign waste no time trying to generate fundraising and opportunistic finger wagging.
These Black Americans have a strong message for you, @JoeBiden!— Students For Trump (@TrumpStudents) May 23, 2020
They will NOT be voting for you this November and you are NOT entitled to their vote! 👏pic.twitter.com/YDPWO7xejM
The remarks instantly ignited a backlash from critics, the Trump campaign calling them "racist and dehumanizing."
Look at this as an attempt at race-baiting.

I love how the racists are seizing on remark that's not even remotely racist. But like the "Lipstick on a Pig" remark by Barack Obama during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign, his former running mate must deal with a whole lot of distractions.
Are you offended by the "You Ain't Black" remarks from Joe Biden? (Note: there will be trolls on this poll picking the dumbest answers. Some of the trolls are not people of color responding to the answers).
I was not a fan of populists like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Bill De Blasio, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Andrew Yang.
Charlamagne Tha God is a celebrity agitator that is hated by some in the hip-hop community. They believe he's a fucking troll and bullshit starter. |
When Biden was slipping through the cracks, I feared that Warren or Sanders would emerge as the nominee and turn off the moderates, the conservative-leaning Democrats and Black voters.
Black voters didn't like the populism of Sanders and Warren. We don't give a fuck about billionaires!
Yeah, we want billionaires to pay more in taxes. But we don't give a fuck about billionaires funding campaigns of candidates or self-funding like Bloomberg and Tom Steyer. As long as they were willing to take on Donald J. Trump, I was fine with it.
Biden emerged as the winner of the largest crowd of candidates. He was not your first, second or third choice. Matter of fact, he was an underdog. He still is.
He's not hitting back against the smears and the bullshit that Hillary Clinton relentlessly fought against.
Biden better start punching hard or face defeat.
Anyway, Biden went to The Breakfast Club, a hip-hop/celebrity program. He talked to that celebrity agitator Charlemagne Tha God to discuss his political policies. Of course, he went into these leftist talking points about Biden's role in the 1994 Crime Bill, marijuana legalization and why he needs to prove to Blacks he's worthy of the vote.
Partial transcript.
"You've got more questions?" Biden replied. "Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
Charlamagne responded by saying “it has nothing to do with Trump,” but that rather “I want something for my community.”
"Take a look at my record man," Biden responded. "I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record."
Charlamagne opened by telling Biden, "I've been critical of you."
"I know you have," Biden shot back. "You don't know me."
Another thing, where does Fox News get these tokens?
Some retired football player named Jack Brewer goes to Fox & Friends to complain about Biden's remarks.
Not once any of those far-white agitators mentioned Trump's remarks about Baltimore.
Not one comment about how he said that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) go back to where they came from.
Not one mention of his outscript remarks about the African Union, Haiti and Honduras being shithole countries. Not one mention of Trump saying Mexicans are rapists bring crime and drugs into the country. Not one mention of Trump saying that NFL players like Colin Kaepernick being "sons of bitches" for kneeling to the American flag and national anthem.
Not one mention about how Trump promised to control the gun issue in Chicago. Obviously now that Lori Lightfoot's in charge, he places the problems on her doorstep. After all she's not his type of woman.
Not one mention about how Trump reacted to five innocent men who were wrongly convicted of rape in Central Park. That was in Trump former hometown of New York City. No mentions at all from Fox News.
Trump had time to retweet this white extremist's remarks.
After Joe’s racist comments yesterday, do you think that helps or hurts Shamu’s chances of getting the VP slot? They have to shore up the base and I don’t think Pocahontas can do it. Is Willie’s Ho back in contention? #maga #tcot #kag pic.twitter.com/WS6rYfz1Rn— John K Stahl (@JohnKStahlUSA) May 23, 2020
When I see 1 of those polls that has Malarkey the Racist up 6-8 points everywhere, I’m thinking they must have called the same 1,000 people from 2016 that said HRC the Skank was up 6-8 %. #maga #tcot #kag pic.twitter.com/NHoUAsCTud— John K Stahl (@JohnKStahlUSA) May 23, 2020
I guess that Brewer guy didn't get the message about how Trump embraced a white extremists.
I guess in his mind, Biden is "the mask off."
"America can see the real Joe Biden, hopefully all of my African-American brothers and sisters," Brewer told Fox & Friends Weekend.
At least white folks want to be down with the struggle. |
"I shouldn't have been so cavalier," Biden said in a Friday afternoon phone call with the U.S. Black Chambers, addressing the controversy within seconds of the session starting.
Just in case you're wondering, Charlamagne Tha God was talking about raping a woman. Look at the video below the interview. Also the Jack Brewer interview.
Make sure you get your ticket on the coon train, Mr. Brewer.
Anyway, let's not waste too much time on this. I mean the Tara Reade scandal is dying down. She ended up causing more problems for herself than for Biden. Now the far-right and leftists are trying another ridiculous tactic. The leftists and far-right have seized upon a 30 second clip of Biden making a mockingly joke about Black people and now the social media is lit over the comment.
The extremes are going to take every single word and put it out of context. They will use this as a distraction to keep people diverted from the real issues that we're facing.
Biden did apologize shortly after. At least he admits to that.
Barack Obama said it best in the 2008 campaign.
He said that four years we go through this. And you know who loses this, it's you!
"Enough, I don't care what you say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift boat politics. Enough is enough!"
