Another perspective from an African American Biden voter:

[qwlauren35]

67. Um...

Your point and the point of the poster have nothing to do with each other.

Biden licked the shoes of a black man for 8 years.
Biden kissed the butt of a black man for 8 years.
Biden played second to a black man for 8 years.

Has nothing to do with policies.

Biden never did anything to undermine Obama, never did anything to belittle Obama, never did anything to take down Obama, never did anything to elevate himself above Obama.

Biden never forgot his place. He was SECOND. Even during his debate when asked if he wanted the presidency because something happened to Obama, he said "I hope that day never comes." He was not eagerly waiting for someone to assassinate the President so that he would get his shot.


Me personally, I respect that.

Now, Bernie had the opportunity to get behind Hillary and back her up. He didn't do it. He's not a team player. And some people are never going to forget that.

I don't think there are words to express the significance of having Biden play second to Obama has in the Black Community. EVEN IF you don't vote for him, even if you don't like his policy decisions, even if you think he's too moderate (Obama was moderate), you can't sneeze at what he did for 8 years. It's actually never been done before.

I hear people talking about a bromance. No. He was SECOND.

A white man who can let a black man lead, and then graciously follow is worthy of respect.
