For the record I do not agree with Mr. Glaude and remember him constantly attacking Hillary Clinton in 16.
MSNBC's Eddie Glaude Shades Biden After Widely-Lauded Speech:
MSNBC’s Eddie Glaude Shades Biden After Widely-Lauded Speech: His Words Need to ‘Rise to the Level’ of Our Problems
By Ken Meyer
MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. said Joe Biden did not go far enough in addressing America’s problems driven to the forefront after George Floyd’s fatal police arrest.
The ex-veep and gave a speech on the country’s social unrest Tuesday, and it drew early positive reviews among political observers because of how Biden contrasted himself from President Donald Trump by stressing the need for racial justice. When Glaude offered his reaction to the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidate’s remarks, he acknowledged Biden’s expression of empathy, but then said he “struggled” with the question of “whether or not the scale of [Biden’s] response matches the scale of the problem.”
“I think it’s absolutely a good beginning to begin to talk about chokeholds, but I think he needs to be talking about qualified immunity. I think he needs to be talking about demilitarization and decriminalization. That’s a good beginning,” Glaude said. “But I think he needs to offer a set of remedies that actually rise to the level of the problems we face.”

Who should I trust more about Biden's fitness to be the nominee and President?
Some woke white dude living in Williamsburg in an apartment paid for by his parents or Jim Clyburn who has fought for civil rights and served the people for over 50 years? Just curious.

I did but he promptly blocked me. He's been pushing Tara Reade and other debunked stories about Joe Biden for a while. Now he's wishing Biden dead. Please go respond to him and report him.
Twitter users please respond to this person

Do the events of the last week force Biden to pick an African American woman as VP?
I'm thinking that he might have to now. Thoughts?

Mark Zuckerberg is a greedy unprincipled slimeball
Everyone on Facebook should post this on their pages. Let's see if they really don't believe in censorship.

I am reminded of this Churchill quote this morning. When Hitler invaded Russia, he offered Britain's full support to Stalin. After a colleague reminded him that he had always been an enemy of communism, Churchill responded with the above quote.
The reason that I bring this up is that in several threads some are objecting to many of us here at DU celebrating the efforts of some on the right and some on the left who are now supporting Biden. Somehow the people behind the Lincoln Project or former Bernie Bros. should still be shunned and attacked because of past sins.
Sorry but that just seems very short sighted to me. We need all the allies that we can get right now.

I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."I am reminded of this Churchill quote this morning.

Joe Biden Not-So-Subtly Shoots Down Klobuchar Running Mate Buzz, Strongly Hints at Black VP
Joe Biden Not-So-Subtly Shoots Down Klobuchar Running Mate Buzz, Strongly Hints at Black VP
By Tommy Christopher
Former Vice President and current presumptive Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden distanced himself from renewed speculation about Sen. Amy Klobuchar as a possible running mate, and strongly hinted his eventual selection could be a black woman.
On Thursday, CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe lit a fire under Klobuchar’s buzz with the scoop that she’s been asked to undergo vetting for the VP slot, which caused quite a stir. Radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Biden about the report toward the end of a radio interview Friday morning.
“A lot of people on social media, they weren’t too happy about that, and it’s because they want your running mate to be a black woman,” Charlamagne said, and referenced a recent Washington Post op-ed “by some of the leading black women voices in this country” making the case for why Biden should pick a black woman as his running mate.
