Republican Sen. Tim Scott has lots to say about Biden’s ‘you ain’t black’ comment, but Atlantic writer Jemele Hill sez he’s right, while Biden apologises
[BIZPACREVIEW] U.S. Senator Tim Scott joined a chorus of voices condemning presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids....
for "arrogant" comments he made during a radio interview.

The Republican senator from South Carolina slammed the former vice president on the "condescending" declaration he made in an interview with Charlamagne tha God, co-host of "The Breakfast Club" radio show. Scott spoke on Fox Business Network’s "Varney & Co." on Friday about Biden’s latest controversial statement.

Biden came under heavy fire Friday for saying members of the black community who have a "problem figuring out" whether to vote for him or President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
in November "ain’t black." The Democrat faced immediate backlash as his surrogates and members of his campaign scrambled to put out the fire.

Joe Biden told black radio show host Charlamagne tha God that he "ain't black" if he's still mulling over whether to vote for him or Trump.

"Wow," Scott said in reaction.

"That is the most condescending, arrogant comment I’ve heard for a very long time. And that’s saying something," the politician told Fox Business host Stuart Varney, pointing out Biden’s history.

"The man who sponsored and led the charge on the 1990’s crime bill that locked up more African-American males than any other piece of legislation," he said.

"And President Trump comes along, and through his criminal justice reform, corrects the absolute mistakes made by Joe Biden, for him to make such an arrogant, ridiculous comment," he added.

"If you think about the numbers, 1.3 million African-Americans voted for Trump. He’s saying to 1.3 million African-Americans that you’re not black?" Scott asked. "Who in the heck does he think he is? That is the most arrogant, outrageous comment that I’ve heard in a very long time and I take offense to that."

In a tweet about Biden’s interview, Scott said it was "par for the course for Democrats to take the black community for granted."



Jemele Hill: What Joe Biden Said About Black Voters 'Was Accurate'
[BREITBART] Former ESPN sports commentator and current Atlantic writer Jemele Hill, jumped to Twitter Friday to defend Democrat presidential candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
’s contention that if you’re confused about who to vote for, "you ain’t black."

Hill was incensed over the shock many whites experienced when they heard Biden say that black people are not black unless they intend to vote for him in November. The former vice president made the comments on Friday on the Breakfast Club radio broadcast cohosted by rapper Charlamagne tha God.

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black," Biden told Charlamagne after the radio host said, "It’s a long way until November; we’ve got more questions."

After the Internet erupted with condemnation for Biden’s comments, Hill jumped into the controversy to defend Biden.

Initially, Hill insisted that white people have no place to condemn Biden’s comments.

"Me watching white folks act outraged on behalf of black folks because Biden said, ’if you vote for Trump, you ain’t black’ ... as if these same white folks are in any position to speak about black identity or the black experience," she wrote.

Joe Biden Regrets 'You Ain't Black' Comment: 'I Shouldn't Have Been Such a Wise Guy'
[BREITBART] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

expressed regret Friday for decreeing that African-Americans aren’t really black if they have trouble deciding to support him over President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, saying he’s "never" taken the black community’s vote for granted and "shouldn’t have been such a wise guy."

"I should not have been so cavalier. I’ve never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted," Biden said during a call with black business leaders, according to CBS News news hound Ed O’Keefe.

"I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy," he added."I shouldn’t have been so cavalier. No one should have to vote for any party based on their race, their religion, their background."

Earlier Friday, Biden declared Friday that if black Americans cannot decide whether to back him over President Trump, "then you ain’t black."

Biden made the ridiculous unsolicited racially-charged comment as he wrapped his virtual interview with The Breakfast Club.

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black," Biden said to Charlamagne, not in response to a question, but after the radio host’s remark: "It’s a long way until November, we’ve got more questions."

#1 It's often said that some blacks hate other blacks in a way that whites just can't understand. Hill brings that out in the open.

#6 So by her reasoning, if you ain’t white you can’t talk about the white experience. Try working on that you pathetic race hustler.
