Biden says 'you ain't black' if torn between him and Trump, in dustup with Charlamagne tha God | Fox News
Joe Biden faced a swift backlash on Friday for suggesting during a contentious radio interview with host Charlamagne tha God that those having a hard time "figuring out" whether to support him or President Trump "ain't black."
The dustup occurred 17 minutes into the former vice president's interview on “The Breakfast Club” – a nationally broadcast morning talk show popular with black listeners – when a Biden aide tried to end the interview, prompting the host to charge, “You can’t do that to black media.”
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee stressed that his wife had an upcoming engagement, and suggested he would have to go whether dealing with "white media" or "black media."
I don't like these blanket generalizations regarding any specific group of people. I'm very slow to call out racism because it's way overused but this does sound like a form of prejudice.
