Joe 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.'

"Throughout my career I've witnessed the diversity of thought, background, and sentiment within the African American community. It's this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place," he continued."My commitment to you is this: I will always listen, I will never stop fighting for the African American community and I will never stop fighting for a more equitable future.

"What you all know that most people don't know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community, with incredibly different attitudes about different things," Biden said."You go to Florida, you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you're in Arizona. So it's a very different, a very diverse community.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Keep brainwashing the weak minded

Lol - just like if you vote for trump then you ain’t black.

a life of clarifications.

Are you a junkie?

Now if this was trump, you guys would be all over him like flies on shit.

I can’t believe you are making this a headline and not the totally unintelligible comments he makes on a regular basis. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

Lol. Uh huh.

How many times is he going to apologize for his gaffes? And why didn’t you show it in your nightly news broadcast?

We understand Joe. No insult intended. No offense taken by my household.

Hmmmm. Y’all forget this

There you go, trump would just double down.

Handlers step in

Sure Pedo Joe

So no matter what Biden says your all for him. Hypocrites

Hey man, I didn’t say what y’all heard

He should start with grab them by the p...y since they all think that is ok.

Why are you clarifying to people obviously stirring the pot.

Biden won't even be the DNC pick. They are just using him for tump to spend money on adds. They will put someone else in that the GOP will have to spend time digging up dirt on. Also anyone will look like a good candidate compared to biden.

The first of many “oops I didn’t mean...” as his handlers put him in front of microphones. This guy isn’t it people.

Lol, no wonder dems are suddenly back peddilng on a debate. Old Joe can't open his mouth without trying to stick his own foot in it.

Just STFU Joe and let trump dig his own grave. We don’t like you either, but we have to choose the lesser of the two evils.

Joe needs no clarification.. He makes no sense, regardless. Anyone supporting him is guilty of elderly abuse. He should be enjoying the final days he has with what little sense he has left, not being used as a puppet. Joe is not fit for presidency.

Biden can’t keep making comments that blacks are all the same! Think alike etx. and then keep apologizing.... how many times do we let him apologize for that? It’s obviously what he thinks and it keeps slipping out!Sad.

Makes blunder after blunder. Hey Dems find a candidate we can vote for.

So let him clarify! At least he does that! He doesn’t just spew sewerage out of his mouth and walk away! Like orange man does everytime he opens his mouth!

Getting a pass again by MSM. Um, how many passes does he get before you realize what he is saying is what he believes until someone gets a hold of him and says “you can’t say that. When need to clean this up. Say this.” It’s not believable anymore. It’s happened too many times.

2 idiots running for President. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤮🤢

I don't care what Biden says or do. Trump has and will do worst. Biden2020 HE HAS MY VOTE and my family vote. My daughter is 18 and this is her first time voting for biden.

That's exactly what he said and what he meant, tho. We all have ears.

50% of white people vote for trump: Black people: 'What's wrong with white people?' 90% of black people vote Democratic: Black people: 'How dare you call us a monolithic voting block!'

Your employer is waiting for you, Joe.

“You ain’t black enough”

Ooooooh! Dr. Jill puts out magnificent 'clarifications'!

Yeah, good luck with that. I think we all know how you really feel about the average black person.

Biden said what he thinks of Blacks. He has been consistent over the years. The last type of President that we need at this time. truth

Not sure these are gaffes. To the extent that any of Joe’s statements are intentional, he has displayed a consistent message on what he thinks of black people (“you ain’t black” = same point). He thinks they are homogenous lemmings who will vote for him no matter what.

I’m going to “clarify” by telling you the words I said didn’t mean what nearly everyone thinks they mean. Also I’m not actually going to say what I did mean. Ok, thanks for the clarification Joe.

Sad part is that ol' racist Joe is right. The Dem party owns 95% of the black vote. Without fail or recompense black Democrats march their asses to the polls like blind mice every 4 yrs to vote for the party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow & will attack any black person who dissents

Suggest you say 'communities' from now on then.

We know who Biden is and has always been. We know he is not racist and is a religious decent caring man. We know who Trump is, a self interested monster who could care less who among use dies. He is a deviant in every aspect of life. Vote Blue to save us all.

Joe's an old school Jim Crow Democrat. He opposed segregation: 'I don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle'. He wrote the 94' Crime bill putting thousands of black men in prison. 'You ain't black'. All Liberal Democrats think like Joe. He's just not as good at hiding it.

Too late. DementiaJoe

'Joe Biden is as dumb as a box of rocks.' .... I made some comments about the intelligence of rocks that I want to clarify. Rocks are just as smart as white kids. In no way did I mean to suggest that rocks are as stupid as poor kids. JoeBiden

2020 election, people choosing between liar and cLarifIEr.

JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Mr. Vice President...you don’t have to apologize for anything. The fact that you did has won the hearts of voters! I hope you’re spending time at home packing for your big move to the WH.

Yes you did mean and, It was very mean!

JoeBidenIsRacist

Too late bud. Trump2020Landslide

oh brother

Dance monkey dance! 😂🤣

Well, then what did you mean Joe ? What you said was very self explanatory.

In no way did I mean exactly what I said, twice!

'''💙🇺🇸👥👥👥👥👥👥👥👥🇺🇸💙''' '''💙👥🇺🇸 PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN 🇺🇸👥💙'''

Sorry Joe, but by today’s rules you are held accountable for every word you have ever spoken and you are responsible for everyone’s own interpretation of your words. Gotta play by the rules!!!

You better clarify this BidenInsultBot !

Lol “you ain’t black” -Biden

This guy is empty suit. What a train wreck.

Trump has never said ANYTHING this racist. Unbelievable.

He didn't tweet this apology!

Democrats: Trump can't walk back his racist comments! We're better than this and BLM! Believe women! Also Democrats: Well see, what he had meant was.... and there ain't no proof.

This is why you need a black woman as VP along with most of the cabinet.

When he talks, he buries himself

Who really wants this guy to be next president?

Democrats get so angry when Trump tries to walk back a racist rant. Where the rage at Blue Maga?

Remember Biden on camera and off teleprompter is real. Biden on social media are his handlers. Don't be fooled.

The nees shows an apology but never showed the original statement. Strange

JoeBiden has a long track record of making racially insensitive remarks. His unwavering & delusional belief that African-Americans will blindly support him, despite his inability to ever deliver anything of substance to the community, is further proof of his cognitive decline.

What’s important is what is in your heart. Thank you for the humility to clarify what you said.

I’m ok

Good politicians have an internal filter that regulates what they really think before they speak. Joe’s cognitive decline has corroded that filter.

An election featuring two geriatric fucks who are completely out of touch. Jesus. These next four years are gonna be awful no matter what.

Too late bud your kkk mask fell out of your pocket back there.

Crazy how everyone is giving him the benefit of the doubt, sticking up for him, pretty much okaying it. Wow. The hypocrisy. Look up the crime bill of 1994 and the secure fence act of 2006. Then let’s see where you stand.

NBC carrying water for Biden. Could mainstream media be more obvious in their bias? Mainstream media is the enemy of the people.

How about just stop taking and pick your VP already

I’d vote Biden over trump no matter what. This low bar for trump racism, mysoginist, and xenophobia is such a farce.

You don’t need to clarify anything. We know that you are a white privledged bigot. But you should enjoy your rulership, we got next.

So, here we go again, huh?

Was there a follow-up question? Because that doesn't clarify why the words he used meant exactly the opposite.

Blacks are a monoliths If you dont vote for me you ain't Black? Voted against integration of Public Schools, Increased incarceration rates affecting Blacks; Buddies with Robert Byrd, a Grand Dragon of the KKK. Bet any inexperienced Prosecuter could convict Joe Biden of Racism

NBC , your the worst ever

The Joe Biden apologists have entered the chat.

Oof 😉

Black Americans are walking away from the Democrat party in droves. They have done nothing for you!

Biden simply admitted how the Democrats feel about the African American community. Oops.

Biden says he didn’t mean the words he said- that black people all think alike and can’t think for themselves. Folks, THAT is blatant racism. That statement matches his other statements that show how consistently he’s thought so little of black people. WalkAway

What kind of democrats would we be if we didn't nominate someone who would say something dumb enough that it could endanger our chances of staving off fascism? It's our thing.

Your past is catching up with you, Joe Biden. 'We've got 'em under control' you and Clinton said to the nation in these photos. Applauding now for your creation of a carceral state and breaking up black families, one monolithic group, in your opinion?

Try and clean it up NoJoe2020. Its not going to work. We all know your racist history and what a racist you and your party are.

Amazing .. the corrupt media cleaning up Joe's mess, once again! Biden is a RACIST. If Trump made any comments close to this .... he'd be called a racist.

Group thinking and identity politics is not your friend. Think for yourself

NBC News: Of course Biden is wildly racist. But, look: his racist handlers can write a really nice denial. And, as one of Biden's racist media fixers, we can uncritically vommit it out to his racist supporters.

Biden is a beneficiary of corona mess, Trump would have beaten him by 20 points if the virus didn't show up.

Unnecessary 'apology' and it wasn't even that. In any event I'm still voting for Biden.

You clarified your self enough, smart black people know that you just used their color to win votes same as the race thing but in fact you don't give a 💩 about none of us.

But it’s literally exactly what you said...

Another racist statement that will be overlooked by the liberals.

I'm ready to vote, even right now

Double standards

The truth is, Biden's handlers issued the statement. JoeBiden does not even know where he is from day to day, let alone what he is saying. Period. Maybe will eventually report that sad truth. Period.

I made 'some' comments about black people. You essentially called them all the same - as in they look like. Why blacks still support DNC at all is beyond me. They are using you for votes knowing whites are split 50 / 50 and you are essentially the tie breaker. Be better.

“Out of context” “Didn’t mean it” these comments are hilarious. “Poor kids are just as talented and bright as white kids.” Joe Biden. You people are the reason KAG will win in a complete landslide. Thank God PedoJoe is your candidate.

He really just needs to shut up. Trump is already in the 🚽. The more Biden talks. The more critics.

JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Anyone who’s listened to Joe Biden after leaving his basement and speaking, knows Joe didn’t write this Tweet, in Joe’s favorite phrase ‘c’mon man’. Joe loves his toes, he keeps putting them in his mouth. BidenMustDebate Don’tVoteUntilJoeDebates

Lol he speaks from the heart and he could call them the N word and theyd still vote for him

Biden let the cat out of the bag on what Democrats really think about the Black community, “They are all the same maybe with a few exceptions but no diversity, no ability to think for themselves, they are nothing without the Democrat Party” If that’s not racism what is it ?

So Joe Biden, a defender of civil rights, running against an avowed racist, get's hammered by the press for being in-artful. Yeah, we have a he/she said problem in the press. Trump is a racist, keep your eye on the ball.

You are not Trump. Turn your anger against beating him. Not yourself

Wait, is this EHITE PRIVILEGE media isn’t talking about? Make sure the iron collars are lined with soft materials to reduce chafing on the negroes! Have to sell them down the river later when they’ve given free votes to Democrats. Again.SBA loans, black owned gas stations&DQ’s...

It's absolutely what he meant and anyone who remembers his 'you ain't black' comment knows that. But I guess we have to support the lesser rapist.

A feeble man’s words are that man’s truth…just like a drunk or a child.

We all know that, look at Diamond and Silk, Clarence Thomas and Kanye West🤮 Self serving narcissistic token enablers.

In his mind, everyone is corn pop and should be categorized 🙄. Also, Burismaisnotgoingaway

K_JeanPierre SymoneDSanders get him 2 pick staceyabrams or KeishaBottoms now!

We should not be talking about Blacks. We should not be talking about Latinos or any other racial group: it's racist. We should be talking about AMERICANS.

His comment has been taken out of context. What's dismissed is the '...with notable exceptions..' part. His reference to the Latino Community is primarily about National Origins. That 'diversity' is not quite as prevalent in the Black communities. Overblown topic.

He does a press conference and puts his foot in his mouth.

Said his handlers after putting him back in the basement...

All fine and dandy to say Yada Yada Yada, i didn't mean it... but what did it mean because it came out sounding the way you chose to let it sound?

I’m still voting for you ☺️

If Trump would have said that...YOUR HEADLINE WOULD BE WHITE SUPREMACIST AND RACIST. YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE HYPOCRITES.

In no way did I mean what I actually said, I was just pandering for votes and accidentally told the truth... I’ll tell you whatever you want to hear for your vote, please tell me what to say, and vote for Joe! 🤣

Yeah...don't believe what I CLEARLY said....believe what my staffers tweet for me.

Joe should have just said it was Locker Room talk and 63 Million Americans (And countless Russians) would have voted for him. ( wink, wink)🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING BAD IN WHAT HE SAID PERIOD

Now you know why the Communist Democrat Party-CDP doesn’t want Biden to debate Trump

Most of us know what he meant, but the disparity in coverage is striking. Example: The very fine people comment Trump made. The media is at the heart of racial divide in this country and NBC’s coverage of Biden’s clarification is the perfect example.

Headline Correction: BIDEN CLARIFIES EARLIER COMMENTS 🛑

Who is the real racist ? Biden or Trump, I say Biden’s own words speak for themselves !

He didn’t apologize. Didn’t come from his mouth. That’s a campaign statement

Now he's trying to say that people are too stupid to understand the words that came out of his mouth. He said what he said.

Joe I in no way believe you hate black people any more than I believe that Trump hates black people. What worries me more about you is the fact you don’t know what you are saying most of the time. Some said Trump would get us into a war with his Twitter. I fear your remarks.

Once a bigot always a bigot. Sincerely, Black Female Delawarean.🤷🏾‍♀️

No way he personally used the word 'monolith'.

He is a racist.

The corrupt media will help him

I want to see you say that because as long as I read it I know you didnt write it. Going to get worse for you from here. pedofile

Just stop Joe! You meant EXACTLY what you said. You & Trump simply can’t get past the plantation mentality: making rude, mean, senseless declarations that hurt & devastates people & cultures. You & your son are loose canons. Learn some respect for diversity & women.

Still with you JoeBiden 🌊 humble apologetic sincere everyvotecounts

You’ve got my vote Joe, but please keep your mouth shut.

Media gives this 🤡 free pass after free pass. The main stream media is so biased. If realDonaldTrump did anything close to this they would roast him. What a joke!

JoeBiden why are you even responding to dumb ass realDonaldTrump That's exactly what he wants you to do. Anyone as dumb as he is and has said so many divisive things about EVERY race, I wouldn't dignify him with any response.

JoeBiden stop explaining and apologizing, when Republicans have you on defense they win!!! OFFENSE

Joe, please maybe run your comments by some of your staff before speaking. We know you didn't mean that the way it sounded. But, uh - SOUND BITES - people tend to go by what they hear.

Biden....our next man should vacate WH.

If he had said this about the Jewish communities I would have been extremely offended. I don’t know how you walk this comment back.

Here’s what terribly biased journalists you are. You report Biden “clarifies” but you don’t ask him (or report) what he “did” mean. How can you look yourselves in the mirror and declare yourselves journalists You cover half the story. Know what that’s called? Biased journalism.

This is how he views the African American community. Remember 'U ain't black'? When will my people WAKE UP!!!

Love Biden... he is so upfront and human.

Two old dudes, these are our choices!😳 we’re screwed!

Let me clarify. A Clarification isn't a APOLOGY.

Notice that this is not an apology. He is “clarifying” what he said. Big difference to me.

NPR said it they had a whole segment

Biden didn't write this tweet.

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...

Let’s assess. You gave ZERO coverage to the gaffe itself, but you’re jumping out of your own assholes to cover the “clarification.” Gee, wonder who you favor in the upcoming election? Yet again carrying the water - and circling the wagons - for the Dems. FTW.

Who manages this scammer.

No apology. Just another CYA as msm covers for him. Where is the msm montage of all his racist 'gaffes'🤔
