WASHINGTON — Joe Biden's controversial remarks about race this week risk alienating young Black voters who despise President Donald Trump but are not inspired by his Democratic rival.
“Trump is terrible, and he's a racist, and we have to get racists out of the White House. But then Biden keeps saying racist things,” said Mariah Parker, a 28-year-old county commissioner in Athens, Georgia. “It doesn’t make me feel much better that we actually will have an improvement for the Black community with one president over the other.”
Part of the challenge for Biden, said activist Kristin Fulwylie Thomas, is the perception among young Black voters that he’s too moderate to deliver on issues that are important to them. The 31-year-old managing director of Equal Ground, an Orlando-based group working to boost turnout among Black voters across Florida, said she hears this concern from voters across the state.
Jones said the issue with young Black voters is “not necessarily skepticism about whether or not he’s able to do the job."The Biden campaign says they’re working hard to reach out to young Black voters, and point to events hosted by their young voter outreach coalition, League 46, as well as outreach geared specifically towards historically Black colleges and universities and Black sororities.
Kenyatta, who has endorsed Biden, said he’s spoken to the former vice president about issues affecting young people and that “his ability to listen and understand that, and then put forward policy that addresses those concerns is going to be pivotal to us.” But on a number of key issues being pushed by some young Black activists — like defunding or dismantling police forces, Medicare for All, and legalizing marijuana — Biden has thus far declined to embrace the most progressive policies.
Everybody needs to get out and vote it's the only way we're going to defeat him
Biden and the Democraps are the true racist. I pray and hope the black community realizes they're being played by the left. Everyday.
Blacks : Do not benefit of stimulus. A reminder: You know Veterans: You know People receive SSI/ Disability .
My friends beg to differ from your click bait headline Yahoo
Blacks feel own party not tackling issues for blacks. Trump stimulus bill helped blacks, some , do not acknowledge.
No one has done more to alienate Black voters than Donald Trump. No one!

Biden tries to clarify remarks suggesting lack of diversity in the Black communityJoe Biden: 'I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith — not by identity, not on issues, not at all.' You were right for once Joe. Blacks are the only race that requires quotas in jobs, housing and education to stay “equal”. Once again ,others must treat them like toddlers. Pacify and give them toys without requiring contribution. We know what he meant. realDonaldTrump and his goons didn’t. Well, he is a career politician. He will say anything for a vote. Still can’t believe this guy is the best candidate the dems can throw out. Will not get my vote. There are options...
