      I'd allow this if Biden had access to a presidential time machine; however, in the good ol' present, calling a black man a negro just comes off as out-of-touch, this old dude has dementia, and seeing it live on TV is shockingly sad.

      Hot takes Biden reminds me of my own racist grandpa before Poppy was sent away upstate to live the rest of his days cheating at board games for money. Is it so wrong to want Biden to have the chance at that sort of happiness?

        ok i actually watched the video and jesus. he def knew he was gonna say negro league, but i saying “I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time" then wincing is awful LOL. def seems like he did not mean to say it when talking about a player (which was the point of my comment)

      this is actually just how the brain works

      come on are we really extrapolating how brains work in general off of Joe Biden now

      This is an awful take. We don’t need to do mental gymnastics to figure out Biden is racist.

        i mean my point was the term he used was the "PC" term at the time he was watching those baseball games, obviously not today, instead of the slur. idk maybe i didn't explain it right
