Critics tear into Joe Biden for saying a stupid thing

[rayg]

Not too smart a thing to say, Lol

Critics tear into Joe Biden for saying people were able to stay at home during the COVID lockdown because 'some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf'

Joe Biden was in Tampa, Florida on September 15 speaking to veterans

Biden said that he realized he had the luxury of lockdown thanks to others
His lockdown was 'because some black woman was able to stack the grocery'
He added: 'Or a young Hispanic is out there as first responders, nurses, docs'

Biden's comments were picked up by a pro-Trump lobby on Monday and Donald Trump Jr then retweeted the clip, which went viral and sparked anger

If they spark anger on the right it's because he's speaking their ugly truth to the crowd.

[rayg]

He's speaking it, not the right.. it's direct from his own lips. Lol

I've noticed when Biden gives a speech, the dozen or less people there are at least 100 feet way from him. Biden's mask is huge and he pulls it up to just below his squinty piggy eyes. Also, Biden is playing black rap music before his speeches. The rap lyrics are all about hating cops, killing cops and hating all white people.

To Joe Biden the white people that work at grocery stores are just a bunch of pathetic people and dont meet his high standards.

Boy you guys missed the context.....figures you would.

He's saying that to a group of liberals, including black folks. It's a message of sympathy, and recognition, that in the early days of the pandemic, "essential workers" were the low-paid ones, many of them minorities. He's acknowledging it clearly to the audience that he sees what they already knew.

Good luck getting Trump to acknowledge that.

Like I said, the right is scared sh*tless by that kind of talk because it gets at a truth that they don't want openly discussed, and when Democrats show that they give a crap about working people, it's effective.

typical Biden cluelessness.

The stockers in grocery stores come from the community the store is located in. I live in an upper middle class community that is mostly white. In the local super markets most of the checkers, sackers and stockers (mostly high school and college kids) are white with a scattering of Blacks, Latinos and Asians. If I go to the Hong Kong Market on the Southwest side everybody working in that massive store is an East Asian. If I go to a Fiesta the vast majority of the employees are Latinos, and so on and so on.

If young Hispanics dominate the fire fighting, policing and medical professions that would seem to indicate they are doing pretty darn good.

The reason Biden says that crap is he doesn't go to grocery stores and, is pandering, doesn't actually know who works in those professions or both. It isn't just him, remember the videos of George H.W. Bush not being able to use a food scanner and Hillary Clinton not being able to use an ATM....there is a reason for that and the reason is they hire other people to do that stuff for them.

Many small businesses where I live, especially food service (independent restaurants and specialty food shops,) construction, landscaping and female beauty oriented shops are minority owned because not enough whites are interested in the amount of work it takes to run a small business. One of my wife's best friend is a Vietnamese who runs a nail spa in a small East Texas town. She makes a heck of a lot of money at it too. Her day starts at 8:00 A.M. and ends at 8:00 P. M. six days a week. She seldom takes a vacation. I'm sure the same goes for the Chicanos who run the very nice meat market in my community and the Indians who run the independent liquor store. The opportunity to own a successful business is one of the reasons these people live in this country and not somewhere else. It doesn't make them oppressed minorities.

The worst part of his statement isn't the cluelessness of it, its the message that if you aren't a White northern European you are being oppressed by White Northern Europeans who live off your sweat.

So who's gonna go back and watch the full clip for context?

Nobody, I bet.

But the VAST majority of those workers were WHITE! Why do low-paid minorities deserve special recognition over low-paid whites? The answer, as usual, is that "equality" to minorities ALWAYS means some kind of special treatment, consideration, advantage. TRUE equality is the last thing they want!

Isn't it the case that someone always think they are the only one that understands a quote or statement, and everyone else got it wrong?

Must be the liberal socialist democrat superiority complex.

Otherwise known as narcissism.

It is worth noting that when Biden was in Florida recently the Hispanics and Latinos booed and hissed him. More and more black voters are turning up their nose at Biden and his lies and his past record of spurning the black community.

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

That's a true racist speaking -- that remark came from the heart, from his inner person.

I think more people are coming to understand that the Democrat Party, which used to be the party of slavery, is now the party of exploitation.
