Althouse: "No one should have to vote for any party based on their race or religion or background."

May 22, 2020

"No one should have to vote for any party based on their race or religion or background."

"I know that the comments have come on like I was taking the African American vote for granted … but nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve never done that, and I’ve earned it every time I’ve run. I was making the point that I have never taken a vote for granted."

Said Joe Biden, apologizing for what he now calls his "cavalier" statement, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."

I recommend watching the entire 19-minute interview that got Joe Biden in trouble, but I admit that I haven't watched beyond 6:33, because I got tired of listening to Joe Biden yelling, especially the part — I'll focus you right on it — where he says "Dead! Dead! Dead!":

Please give a coherent interpretation of what you said that is also in line with this statement.

The media would expect at least that much from Trump.

But tribalism isn't as easy for a politician to manage after the internet came into play. And African Americans who don't affiliate with the Democrat tribe also don't have to put up and shut up. And it's a beautiful thing.; 5/22/20, 5:20 PM

Yeah, very amateurishly dramatic. I took it in increments. Pandering and usual talking points about Trump acting too late. Biden referenced a column he wrote in Wapo. Would be amusing to ask hi what exactly he wrote in detail, 'cause no way did he create it.

The black joke thing was funny in that the young black interviewer did not smile or take a swing at the softball opportunity to diss Trump. Seemed unimpressed.

Would like to see interviewer with Trump.; 5/22/20, 5:35 PM

chuck said...: I tend to believe Adams over the right wing mob

The problem with the right wing mob is that their reaction appeals to folks like themselves. What would work better is if they could appeal to black people. Votes are votes, and if you don't get them and can't rely on recounts, you don't get to govern.; 5/22/20, 6:28 PM
Dan in Philly said...: It's such an odd statement; I really wonder if he had it scripted beforehand and just wanted to get it out, or if it just occurred to him at that moment.

Put me on team "someone scripted that for him and told him to make sure he got it out sometime during the interview." given that the interview was remote, I wouldn't be surprised if he had that and a number of other quips on a cue card someone was holding for him. I think he meant it to sound a lot cooler then it finally ended up sounding. Whoever fed him that line is likely looking for a job right now.; 5/22/20, 6:28 PM

John henry said...: Is he lying about Delaware black population in Delaware?

He says 8th biggest black population in the US.

I go to Wikipedia and look at black population by state and Delaware is about 30. I was interested to find that Puerto Rico has more than twice as many "African-Americans" as Delaware. I know lots of black Puerto Ricans. Married to one. Never heard of one calling themselves "African-American" or even black. They consider themselves "Puerto Rican"

If it is percent of population, then Delaware is #10.

Is he lying or confused?

And why does he cough into his fist? Even dinosaurs like me have been coughing into our elbows for 10-15 years.

Finally, he starts to riff in this cool Jack jargon at the end, trying to go full CornPop circa 1963.

Dust Bunny Queen said...: If it weren't for the fact that Biden is just such a dick, life long blowhard and that Joe as President would be a disaster for ALL OF US, I might feel sorry for him. He is. And I don't.

My father had dementia. It came on slowly at first and then suddenly cascaded. He knew that something was wrong. Losing words. Getting high centered on a train of thought. Forgetting mid sentence what we were talking about. Asking the same questions over and over and over and................

It was sad to see the disintegration of my father's formerly great intellect to that of a petulant child. We all did everything we could to protect him from himself and to keep his mind centered as best we could. The slow slide into darkness.

What the Democrats are doing to Joe Biden right now is elder abuse. There is no way on Earth that this man is capable of negotiating his way through a normal day. Being President would be a sham....and we all know it. This is only about grabbing power at all costs.

It is cruel and it should stop. where is his family in all of this. Don't they care?; 5/22/20, 7:04 PM

Had positive things he backed regarding black incarceration. He been there for fifty years and now has a "manifesto for blacks". I think Trump did some stuff too.

The same is true of "Gee, George wallace was a democrat" or "Democrat FDR put Japanese-Americans in Relocation camps" or "Democrat Woodrow wilson was a Racist". You ain't going to win any black votes with that nonsense.

The Democrat party of today has zero in common with the D Party of 1965. In 1965, most of the white Southerners supported Wallace and/or Segregation. Today the white Southerners support Trump. In 1965 New England was still full of Republicans, today its not. Bringing it up is just a waste of time.; 5/22/20, 9:10 PM

"campaigning in Alabama in April [1987], Biden talked of his sympathy for the South; bragged of an award he had received from George Wallace in 1973 and said ‘we [Delawareans] were on the South’s side in the Civil War.”

And I think wow, just wow! If a Republican presidential candidate had said that, then the media would have made sure that everybody, or almost everybody, knew about it. The whole country would have been talking about it.

Instead I'll bet most people in this coming election will never hear this.

As for the interview I listened to the whole thing. And I don't know whether Biden was telling a joke or not. He sort of sounded serious. As if he were offended at the idea of a black person not voting for him.

If it was preplanned, that is instead of something that popped out of his mouth, then I'm sure it was supposed to be a joke. But if that was the case, then he messed it up. And I think the guy talking to him was irritated there for a moment.

By the way, in the background who was trying to tell him to stop? Was that his wife?; 5/22/20, 9:11 PM

mandrewa said...: Here's my second reaction.

One of the things I like about Donald Trump is that you know what he thinks and you where he's coming from and you often know why. You can't take what he says literally quite often, but on the other hand a person can figure it out. There aren't many secrets with Trump.

There are for instance no terrible skeletons hiding in Donald Trump's closet.

Now compare Trump to Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden is a conman and he has been all his life. But his slickness is slipping and the truth, or a version of it, is coming out. And because of that he is achieving a kind of "honesty" that he never previously achieved. I have not spent that many minutes in my life watching Joe Biden, but I think every time before that I ever watched this guy, and I'm talking years ago, I had the thought: "This guy is lying and he thinks he is very clever."

But I didn't have that thought this time.; 5/22/20, 9:36 PM

Actually, it has quite a bit in common. In 1965 it was collectivist and statist (racism being a primitive form of collectivism and segregtation a racist form of statism); now, the collectivism has altered its shape, and the statism changed its alleged goals.

Use the word “respect” a lot, and demonstrate it in action, and it might be amazing just how much of the black vote he can peel away.

Wallace was a Democrat and for all that the two parties have changed and exchanged constituencies, the fact that he had a home in the party of FDR and Jimmy Carter isn't something that should be forgotten.; 5/22/20, 9:58 PM

My family had the same experience with my dad as he sank into dementia— the confusion, the frustration, the anger, the fear. It’s almost impossible for me to watch Biden for any length of time (though I made it to the 7:00 mark, more shouting and slurring). He has the same engaged/disengaged/ frightened look in his eye that my dad did about 2-3 years before Alzheimer’s took him. Why is this going on with a major party candidate?

Bob Loblaw said...: Bizarre, never seen any politician self-destruct so completely. It's just one unforced error after another.

Biden has always been a pompous gaffe machine. Now on top of that he's senile, so it's hard to guess what's going to come out of his mouth next.; 5/23/20, 3:39 AM
narciso said...: Um dnesh pointed out how jim crow was an inspiration for the nurenberg laws. This was state policy. He also pointed out how frankfurt school figure like marcuse were proteges of the likes of heidegger; 5/23/20, 4:31 AM
tim maguire said...: Joe Biden could say that he himself will put them back in chains and still win a majority of the black vote. That’s the mindblower—all his incompetence on racial issues only puts about 10% of the black vote in play.; 5/23/20, 6:05 AM
Kevin said...: Look, in the blue movie Trump personally killed 36,000 people on Park Avenue and Joe Biden only voted for the “good” parts of the crime bill.

You think people aren’t buying that?

Come on, man!; 5/23/20, 6:17 AM
Henri Bergson said...: The Democrat party's exploitation of Joe Biden, who is plainly cognitively impaired, now amounts to elder abuse.; 5/23/20, 7:24 AM
Howard said...: Exactly Achilles. Just because trolls refuse to wear masks, the hole economy stays closed. Same with the blog, moderation is required because of a few trolls who refuse to wear muzzles.; 5/23/20, 8:02 AM

The Democrat party of today has zero in common with the D Party of 1965.

Untrue. Dems then and now offer discrimination in exchange for votes. They just changed who they offer it to.; 5/23/20, 11:01 AM

Terry Ott said...: And then there was the Milwukee Journal/Sentinel commenting in 2005:

“In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.“; 5/24/20, 3:02 AM
Terry Ott said...: Tucker Carlson got a chuckle out of me when introducing Deroy Murdoch the (formerly black) Fox commentator. Murdoch, he said, had gone to bed the night before thinking he was a black man only to awake to learn that he was not, pursuant to Biden’s authority to determine a person’s race according to their political views. Very confusing to a guy like Murdoch I suppose.
