Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attempted to walk back but refused to apologize for his comments that alleged the black community isn’t as culturally diverse as other minority groups.
Earlier today, 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.

Reminder: Biden is a 77-year-old white male.
The U.S. Sun further reports:
Rather than apologizing in that and two other tweets, Biden touted his work and experience with black people.
The was no mention of his work in the Senate with segregationist senators.
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.

Moments after Biden’s initial remarks, Trump quickly slammed the comments as a “great insult” to the black community.
“I just watched a clip and Joe Biden, this morning, totally disparaged and insulted the black community,” he said during a Fox News interview at the White House.
Recent polls show a tightening in the race for the White House. What do you think is the bigger liability for Joe: his gaffes or far-left policies? As always, share your thoughts with us below!

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
All great idea and sentiment, too bad your not the one writing it!?!?
You are a puppet to the insane left that you have been a part of for too long!!
Time to hang it up Joe…..you’re being used by the Leftist idiots you use to call friends and colleagues!!!
They should be ashamed and you should know better than to let that happen!
Weep for ANY future that has you or your puppet master trying to lead it !!!
You said it & very well!!!!
Good Help divide the Dems more, lose votes, lose more power
Since 1965
Biden knows no matter what he says most Blacks will BLINDLY support the Democraps come November.
Don’t forget there is a huge group “Blacks For Trump” and it is growing day by day. I don’t think most Blacks will BLINDLY support the Democraps in November. Many, many of the regional “leaders” of Blacks for Trump have YouTube channels with large followings.
But if you don’t vote for Joe, you ain’t black. How’s that for a monolithic statement. Well, I’m white and I’m not voting for Joe, so I guess Joe’s right.
If I were Trump I would run every thing he has ever said in the adds along with him philibustering with his friend from the KKK Robert Byrd (and Al Gore’s dad) the civil rights act and the voting act. I would run that stuff as much as I could, every gaff and idiotic thing he has done.
Biden isn’t the problem. The Progressive news media and entertainment industry in general is what drives the Progressive movement. Biden has always only been a front man for whatever hateful organization is buying him. Today, it is the Socialists paying.
Yes it is Biden and yes it is the media. BUT the bigger problem is the parents who allow their children to be educated in a system where they are prey to peer pressure thinking encouraged by their liberal educators, where they don’t learn to think for themselves, they don’t learn respect for others (so thoughts, beliefs and ideas of others are totally out of bounds), they don’t learn foundation skills (math, science, reading, writing–even multiplication tables and alphabet. A successful weekend for children is one with soccer games, basketball games, maybe baseball games and video games all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
Joe Biden, very obviously, is in advanced stages of dementia. What is wrong w/ those pushing him to run when he can’t even take care of himself???
His handlers have no intention of letting him be POTUS. They’re just trying to get him elected to the position, then they’ll take over. No telling what they’ve paid Jill and the Cocaine Kid for the privilege of finishing old Joe off.
Joe Biden, if elected may even resign before Inauguration Day and his mystery VP will be President from the start!
The reason WhyJoe Biden is against the Second Amendment is that he shoots and then clarifies!!
Biden is the definition of a racist, he is even picking a black female as his VP, who chooses their running mate by race? It’s OK though he is choosing a black woman I guess because he thinks that black folks will just have to vote for him because of that one reason since they don’t have any diversity of thought! Biden is truly to worst candidate they could have taken 3 years to come up with to take on Trump, a feeble-minded old white male, you know the kind the left disparages daily except for Joe Biden of course.
Biden can’t apologize.
Would you sincerely apologize to a dog?
Perhaps, your dog… it’s not a perfect example, but consider:
This is a life long politican. The voters are statistics not people…
He’ll look someone in the eye, smear what they want to hear and move on…
He a Democrat. Had the grand wiz of the kkk as his “mentor”.
Who do you think he respects? Us, collectively? Blacks?… why would he?
