When we are talking about the president, then blatant racist would be several orders of magnitude worse than soft racism. He's clearly using black as a substitute for poverty there, which is racist, but not something that even comes close to the blatant racism and racist policies that are actively pushed by Republicans.

So I just disagree, and I think the opinion is really dumb and mostly a result of your gobbling up right wing propaganda instead of actively thinking through your position.


given the drastically lower amount of wealth in the black community and the pervasive poverty i dont see why using the terms black in this context is seen as racist.

frankly i think its the result of gotcha narratives by conservatives mainly spearheaded by uncle tom type MAGA hat wearing black people. and it the end result of concession because liberals are more inclined to fear the racist label.

People try to cancel people for all sorts of stuff they did decades ago

indeed. that said the “black superpredators” crime bill was written by biden (just ask him!) 1994 - minority families are still feeling the effects of this draconian legislation (permanently separated families for example) today. then we have the never-ending notions held by biden and other lefties/RINOs that minorities are incapable of following laws and getting identification.

of course we had the “poor kids just as smart as white kids” howler last year, and the “if you’re black and don’t vote for me over trump then ‘you ain’t black’”racist comment he made on the breakfast club. now the most recent one “black people who run businesses cannot figure out how to hire lawyers and accountants”. which is a real doozy given that ridiculous overbearing regulations are the reason why companies require an army of lawyers and accountants to keep the FEDs out of their offices. regulations pushed onto us by lifelong swamp demons like biden

On the racist spectrum, it's like a 2/10. Not particularly racist, but still something that can be corrected.

It's definitely a gotcha by conservatives. They don't actually care about what he said, but they know leftists care, so they're trying and failing to weaponize that.

they applaud when Trump uses 1980s rhetoric, and write 10 page essays on why it's not racist. Then cry when Biden does the same but not nearly as bad, and decry that it is racist.

There's a special kind of genius that gets an A in math real math classes. If somebody got an A in a 5 hour calc with analytical geometry class then I want to pick your brain on everything because you're a damn genius.

Can you show what hes done to improve his beliefs and image? His policies seem to be even more blatantly racist than they were before.

"Black people have good ideas, they just dont know how to get an accountant or a lawyer"


Obama awarding him the presidential medal of freedom after 8 years of working with him is good enough in my book. Biden is not the best orator so he is prone to gaffes, but for every racist or race ambiguous remark in the past 5 years, you can find at least 5 when Trump is concerned. Biden has more than 3 years to push for anti-discriminatory bills, so you can put your rightwing faux outrage at bay for now.

i got a 34 in math on my ACT, then i tested so low on the compass test that i got placed into INTRO to college algebra. and because it did not even count for an actual 3 credit class i asked to be placed instead in Algebra 104, the lowest math course at my university that gave a credit.

how you may ask, HOW is that even possible to take every math course my highschool offered, including all of the computer science classes and physics, and test at the same level that hte average gas station worker tests at for college placement?

simple, my 7 key on my calculator didnt work. u werent allowed graphics calculators, and i borrowed an old Casio from some friend's junk drawer when we carpooled. my math teacher actually yelled at me for not asking to be placed higher than Alg 104, but i was a science major at the time and didnt give a fuck.

then in Algebra 104 first day the teacher announces anyone who wants to try and test out can take the 4 tests and accept (or decline and take the class) the average score for their final grade. so in 1 day i got 3 credits with a 98% in the class and fulfilled my undergrad math requirement.

i also took spanish 101 in my senior year to fulfill a humanitarian credit, and took 6 years of spanish in middle/highschool.
