Some people have a hard time wrapping their head around this concept, but here goes. Being black isn't always a function of skin color/genetics to some black people. A lot of it depends on whether or not you are on "their team." There are white people that many black people generally consider to be black.
translation: as long as you pretend to advocate on another groups behalf, you are allowed to say racist things bc you’re trying to help said group.

While true, I'd like to see the full context of that video. There's obviously more to it than 5 seconds. If that's really the context in which he said it, the host's reaction would've been included.

That quote would have been unbelievably stupid coming out of the mouth of a black politician.

Coming out of Biden’s mouth is insane.

I watched the video. Dont think Charlemagne caught what he said. Biden went off talking about his impeccable record for the black community

That's why I'm almost positive there's more context to it

Charlamagne has been retweeting several opinions on the interview.

I don't know. Charlemagne doesn't come off as the type of guy that would let something like that slide.

Here's the context of SloJoe's racist statement.

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

His statement speaks for itself here. It's condescending and racist at the very least. Let's see what kind of legs this gets.

I'm with you, I don't like a five-second loop...BUT.... context or no context, this may be one of Joe's worst gaffes ever.

Here's 30 seconds.

Geriatric white man tells black people how to know if they’re black.

Makes sense he would say that considering he also said he was going to beat Joe Biden.

Just looked up a 30 second clip of this and, yep, he said that in the exact context as presented in the OP

And judging from the Twitter comments, there are a lot of black people that are willing to accept that in order to get rid of Trump. Unbelievable.

Ironically, Biden is the one that is forcing all these lefties to really test their resolve in their "convictions".

That's the arrogance of the left when it comes to blacks. And you know what, he's right.
