While President Trump may be a disaster for the black community and people of color, Joe Biden needs to do better for one of his most loyal voting demographics, especially after his remarks in a recent radio appearance, David A. Love writes for CNNOpinion

Welcome to 2020, the year that provides yet another opportunity for America to examine and address the issue of race, and the ways in which politicians treat black voters. The recent police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis is evidence that racism is still pervasive and remains unaddressed.

David A. LoveBiden made the comment on"The Breakfast Club," toward the end of a cordial but direct interview with host Charlamagne tha God, who invited Biden back to the show, noting he had many more questions to pose before November's elections."It don't have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact, I want something for my community," Charlamagne responded."Take a look at my record, man!" Biden replied.

Opinion Not true. Why doesn't twitter fact check this. Trump has done many things like cut regulations to bring in job creating businesses. He started a prison program to reduce recidivism. He started programs where private investors help the black communities grow. Obama did little.

Opinion If he's such a disaster, Biden shouldn't even waste his time and energy campaigning for the black votes. After all, they are all his. You write this because you're feeling a little nervous. Right?

Opinion Why exactly is Trump a disaster to the black community? Specifically please.

Opinion CNN sure loves Biden's crime bill.

Opinion Blah blah blah trashnews

Opinion What Obama-Biden did to Black Communities? Nothing

Opinion Biden has been in office for 40 years and hasn’t done a single thing but become a meme.

Opinion Trump is insane and a danger (and I have been a medical professional). Joe Biden is not insane & spent 8 years as vice president. Trump should be in a straight jacket right now. BTW: now he is freaking out about shutting twitter down, IG, FB...well, what would he do all day ?

Opinion Check your facts CNN. Trump has the lowest minority unemployment of any recent Republican. Trump also has the highest minority support of any recent Republican. And the most minorities off welfare. Not exactly a disaster by any definition.

Opinion Another brilliant opinion piece. Trump has actually DONE more for the black community than any president in my 43 years on this earth. He CERTAINLY did more than Obama did.
