let's see how that resonates

The OP seems to assume that the majority of African Americans Support that position, and not so subtly implies that those who do not subscribe to that may have racial issues, specifically inferring that in Biden.

Is Joe Biden's record perfect? No, but I will tell you this, Biden IS NOT A RACIST. and any implication that he is, is bullshit







If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
