They didn't feel compelled to go vote for Trump either.

Again, I'm not denying Biden's racism. I'm simply asserting that Trump is worse.

@freemo @JuliusGoat Biden also got solid majorities of the Latino and Asian votes.

I focused on those who voted because we have no data on those who didn't.

>>he sees them as pawns that he can exploit to make himself paint the "im not racist" picture while staying just as racist as always... and you fell for it.

So are you saying that 90% of Black voters "fell for it"?

@freemo @JuliusGoat

>> Whonsaid anything about "In their timr in the white house"

In another branch of this thread, you said "he still keeps ... making low key racist comments...

Dude hasnt changed a bit and is clesrly just playing the game."

I'm saying that Biden HAS changed, but Trump hasn't.

Is Biden devoid of racism now? No, none of us are, and it's not an all-or-nothing thing. Even if you're right and Biden is just following the political wind, Trump doesn't even do that much; he is openly more racist than the electorate.

I'll say again: 90% of Black voters chose Biden over Trump. They know.

@freemo @JuliusGoat In their time in the White House, the idea that Biden is more racist than Trump is absurd.

One metric: who did they actually put into positions of power? Biden put in a cabinet that looks like America. Trump chose almost entirely white men (who make up only around 35% of the US population).

I believe Biden chose career professionals while Trump chose cronies for their personal loyalty to him. Perhaps you disagree. I'm sure we could argue endlessly about which picks were "pandering to minority voters". The point is that Biden opened doors while Trump closed them.

You like to advocate for letting populations judge for themselves who is supporting them, and of course I agree. There's a reason 90% of Black voters chose Biden over Trump.

@freemo @JuliusGoat Really? You can't think of anything racist Trump did?

@futurebird I've got a veritable filing cabinet full of punchlines that are waiting for such perfect opportunities.

@saluk @htdrake Maybe neither. You'd be making use of each other's camps and dueling each other for city spots more often.
