This is one we’re gonna hear about for a while:
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday emphatically defended his ties to the African-American community — telling a popular black radio personality that he “ain’t black” if he was still weighing whether to support Biden or President Donald Trump in November’s general election.
The remarks from the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee came during an at-times contentious interview on “The Breakfast Club” that aired Friday morning, during which co-host Charlamagne tha God challenged Biden over his decades-long record on racial issues and current contemplation of a black, female running mate.
The exchange came after an off-camera Biden aide is heard warning that time was running out, prompting the host to joke, “You can’t do that to black media!” As you can see, MAGA World is already leaping on the comment.

So interesting how @twitter is censoring the racist clip of @JoeBiden telling black Americans that they “ain’t black” if they don’t vote for him.
They’re trying to protect Joe! They don’t want the American people to know about his disgusting & dehumanizing racist mentality. pic.twitter.com/H5Ch9xEKob

—@JoeBiden 5/21/20, to host @cthagod“…there is no one way to be black. Take it from somebody who has seen both sides of debate about whether I’m black enough.”
