      Then why wouldn’t you read the article or even just Google it if the article didn’t explain it well enough for you?

      He has one of the largest “radio” morning shows in the country, and lots of his listeners are you g and Black, a demographic Biden has had trouble with ever since he sided with Republicans against school busing.

      Unfortunately Biden gets offended anytime a Black person doesn’t kiss his ring for having a D by his name.

      Like, have you honestly never heard Bidens quote from this show? It was right after he refused to explain why he deserves votes from the Black community

      "You’ve got more questions, but I tell you … if you’ve got a problem whether or not you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,” Biden said tersely

      Then he quit the interview, because he didn’t want interviewed, he wanted everyone to tell him how thankful the Black community was for Biden not being trump.

      It was (and still is) a pretty big news story…

        Because it’s not worth clicking on an article to find out someones opinion when I have no idea who they are.

        Might as well say Morgan Wallen has mean things to say about Biden, and that’s a problem. No idea who that is either.

        The information worth knowing is from a different article right below this one:

        https://lemmy.world/post/10230185

        “A fraying coalition: Black, Hispanic, young voters abandon Biden as election year begins”

        Way bigger news than what some guy on iHeartRadio thinks.

          It’s almost like instead of being genuinely curious who he is, you’re just shitting on him…

          Which a lot of people unfortunately do, then they act surprised why Biden is doing so awful with the Black community even when he’s running against trump.

          Like, your attitude is exactly what Charlamagne is complaining about:

          Lots of Democrats don’t actually care what the Black community wants, and refuse to listen.

          They just feel entitled to every Black person’s vote simply because they’re a Democrat.

          This guy is a huge voice for a demographic that Biden is doing absolutely terrible with, but an entire wing of the democratic party refuse to actually listen to him

          It’s fucking sad to see voters do it, but it’s a national embarrassment the party leaders have been doing it for decades.

            Oh, I’m not curious at all. I need more than a bullshit self granted title to go on before I can be interested. Unfortunately, this post doesn’t give me much to work with.

        That controversial Biden quote is essentially correct though.

        If a black person votes for republicans they are actively voting not only against their own interests but also for blatant racist fascism. Doesn’t matter if they don’t like what the not racists have to offer otherwise.

        Because your mega fucked binary political system doesn’t allow for a third option they can only choose between the status quo with possibly minor improvements, or making it infinitely worse.

          That controversial Biden quote is essentially correct though

          The context was Biden was given an opportunity to tell Charlamagene’s audience about why they should vote for him.

          Biden is doing terrible with that demographic.

          And instead of taking that platform and doing the absolute bare minimum a candidate can be expected to do…

          Biden basically told them to fuck off and they don’t have a choice.

          That may be true

          But anyone stupid enough to say that should not be anywhere near a political campaign for animal catcher, let alone US President.

          Especially when the reason Biden was on the show in the first place, was to address the concern that neither party care about the Black community and Dems feel entitled to their vote.

          And Biden just went in there and confirmed their concerns and openly doubled down on it.

          People are mad at Charlagmene for mentioning a very real issue. But not at Biden for being the one currently causing the issue
