Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is getting a lot of deserved blowback for his racist comment during an interview with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.”
As my colleagues Bonchie and Sister Toldjah reported earlier, this was a pretty stunning comment, made even worse by seeing it in context.
Wow. Joe Biden actually remembered what he wanted to say… and it was pretty terrible. pic.twitter.com/3pb9Y8MVcf

He’s basically chastising Charlamagne for suggesting he needs to come back and talk to anyone on his show anymore. “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.”
Oh, my, telling a black man, telling black people they aren’t black if they don’t vote for him. Really, seriously, how dare he? But that says a lot for how he views black people.
But as bad as that was, that wasn’t all he said that showed he’s completely out of his mind.
As they discussed prison reform, Biden said there were a couple of things that everyone in jail has in common.
From Daily Caller:
“Only a couple things everybody has in common in jail,” Biden said. “One is they were the victims of abuse or their kids were, or their mother was. Number two: can’t read. Number three: they don’t have any job skills, they were in a position where they didn’t get a chance.”
Wait, what? Check out Charlamagne’s eyes as Joe spews this crazy, you can see him thinking: oh, my what the heck?
This is delusional. Yes, there are a lot of reasons people end up in jail, but to say that everyone in jail was a victim of abuse, can’t read and has no job skills is insane. He has no concept of reality if he truly thinks this.
Joe Biden says everyone in jail can’t read & doesn’t have job skills. Please be real @cthagod, you had to be cringing through this + Joe saying Black people aren’t Black if they don’t vote for him. Joe Biden who wrote the crime bill is the same Joe today! pic.twitter.com/4VRzIHQavp

And some were reading that Biden as saying blacks in jail can’t read, further compounding his prior comment.
Joe Biden, author of the crime bill
Joe Biden fought desegregation
Also Joe Biden: black people are jailed because they can't read and are unskilled. https://t.co/dahJyd78bt

Looks like Biden just decided today was the day to toss his campaign overboard and burn it all down.
