Oh wait a minute, it is thanks to millions of white identity politics voters. Funny how identity politics often leads to people voting for evil creeps just because "he looks like i do and says he'll protect us from those horrible people from another race."
I'm not fond of the idea of voting by the color of one's skin (as you mentioned in a post above yours). To me, the color of one skin shouldn't even be a factor and I get that yes, we need to empower more Black women but regardless, Biden needs to pick the best person he thinks will help him: he wants a team player, and the likes of Harris aren't it. But in politics, particularly here in America, we do have people that do like to pull at the racial and cultural tensions, Trump being a prime example of that.
A vote for harris imo is identity politics at their worst. People are gonna ignore her past and pretend that voting for her will help minorities, almost like they don't realize that minorities aren't just asking to be abused by people who look like them.
I honestly think Biden doesn't understand black folks. He's an old white man, and while there is nothing inherently wrong about being an old white man, he comes from a different time. We all know history. How back in the day most Americans basically thought black people were dipshits and either took the position of "they're savage animals that need to be kept down" or "they need us to help them cause they're not smart enough to help themselves." Am I saying Biden may be racist? Yeah, I am, because he grew up in a time period when those beliefs were widely held and alot of older folks in America have those kinds of views. His age alone would not be a reason to accuse him of bigotry, but we all remember his comments about the difference between black and latino votes.
