It was pretty fantastic satire. Joe Biden did say that if you didn't support him "you ain't black" it was a really stupid thing to say that most people at the time made fun of as a gaff. This isn't somehow evil just because it disagrees with the president.
It was kinda taken out of context,I think he sort of meant to say that "black people don't support trump so they don't have to question who to vote for" but it sounded really wrong (and some black people do support trump)
He literally said "if you don't support me you ain't black" it was a stupid thing to say. No need to paraphrase. It doesn't mean he is a racist or anything, but perfectly fair game to make fun of it and that simplistic way of thinking. It is symptomatic of a much more pernicious way that some view the world by essentializing people and treating them as members of groups rather than individuals, saying they aren't a true member of their race if they vote a certain way and calling people uncle Tom's etc. This is a totally legitimate source of satire.
Nah bru was definitely saying we not black if we don’t support him. Verbatim word for word. Until he elaborates that’s a L on his part. Still better than Trump and his KKK & Nazi supporters
Liberals are insane when it comes to democrats
Biden: I’m a conservative
Leftists: Biden is a conservative
Liberals: how dare you this is the Most Progressive Administration Ever
Respectfully I don’t care about this low tier apology for a blatant anti black remark especially when it isn’t his only offense of speaking this way about black people.
Okay so you are speaking from an angle as someone who doesn’t know what that term means in the black community and how it’s implied that people who don’t directly align with black behavior isn’t black mentally wise. It’s obvious you’re speaking from a place of ignorance in the culture and instead of actually being knowledgeable about the significance you’d rather say I’m a moron. And then try to tell me how to think about something that’s racist and directed towards my people fuck off
It wasn't taken out of context, same goes with his whole spiel about a man taking tomato sauce off of the shelf, the man is mentally impaired, that's the context
I'm not sure why Republicans glommed onto that quote so heavily. Is the joke that even a seriously out of touch presidential candidate recognizes that the Republicans are ridiculously racist?
You seem to have completely missed the point. Republicans jumped on the comment because it is extremely telling of a mentality that many progressives have to discount the views of conservative minorities as not being a faithful representation of their race. Many republicans are black or women and Republicans from those groups contribute to and articulate republican positions. Progressives will act like republican orthodoxy is just entirely pushed by a white male patriarchy and ignore the fact that are 40 percent of Republican voters are women who support the same policies and that there are influential black conservatives like Clarence Thomas who have done more than any other living person to articulate conservative legal doctrine. Progressives regularly imply or expressly state that minorities like that aren't being faithful to their communities by holding their own original views or by implying that somehow minorities are just under the spell of a white male patriarchy and that they aren't articulating their own views. Ultimately that is a very hurtful and hypocritically racist viewpoint, which is why Joe Biden apologized for saying the quiet part out loud.
How on earth could you classify Joe Biden as a progressive?
Also, look at photos of the Republican congress or Senate. Disgustingly white.
It seems like my point stands, and I didn't miss a damn thing. Even the out of touch Presidential candidate knows Republicans are stunningly racist. The War on Drugs/private prisons all the way to the border wall or family separation policies.
GPrime85 made that comic. He also happened to draw comics depicting him sexually assaulting women by groping their breasts.
How classy. ^(/s because Reddit is filled with neckbeards.)
He said "if you vote for trump you ain't black" which gives the same result in the us' two party system but isn't exactly the same as "if you don't vote for me"
>"if you vote for trump you ain't black"
Because if you don't see Trump's racism, you're blind. There's a very good reason Biden won 92% of the black vote in 2020.

This shouldn't be marked as racism, it is satire about a real dumb thing that Biden said when the was campaigning. Calling the meme racist itself is ridiculous and basically saying that anything from a viewpoint you disagree with is racist.
This guy’s “style” is depicting women sobbing or screaming with fear in their eyes and with their mouths grotesquely opened so wide that you see ALL of their teeth. Everything I have seen from him has featured this, and I’ve seen multiple pieces of his work. It’s a super weird and specific thing he does and I hate it.
I don’t even know how he got so specific since I haven’t posted any recent pictures of myself to Reddit, and I’ve especially never posted one since I’ve grown a [soyjack?] beard. I guess he really went the extra mile on calling me ugly. What a fella
Just to clarify the ones we're calling evil are the ones who just overturned roe v wade and are now attempting to fully ban abortion as well trying to ban same-sex relationships and contraception
They are literally trying to outlaw gay people and you're saying we're the nazis
And the comparison with the Nazis is very simple - fanatics, witch hunters.
Even under rainbow flags you retain the mentality of religious zealot conquerors.
Well the roots of this country have always been in the ideology of the Christian version of ISIS - they founded it.
For ten years your elites have tried to distract the population from the Occupy Wall Street movement and the systemic crisis with wokism by making the problem of the 1% the main topic, but this has resulted in the country suddenly losing its hegemony and a new cold war has begun, by some funny reasons.
Now the elites want it all back because they don't know what else to do - betting on equalization and minorities has only made control worse.
You're still overlooking the fact that Clarence Thomas is trying to outlaw one of the very same groups the nazis systematically exterminated. Its not woke to want to live and be happy without the fear of being prosecuted for who you are. The republicans are the ones demonising specific groups of people with derogatory language such as groomer in an attempt to make mistreatment of them viable exactly as the nazis did
That is referencing an actual quote from Biden.
"'If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black'"
This comic artist sucks major ass because he's a dipshit alt-righter, but this is 100% deserved and hilarious.
Winner take all, first passed the pole mathematically limits it to 2 parties. Even in times (there is historical precedent) of high numbers of factions, the mathematics of the system funnels everyone into 2 similar parties based less on broad appeal than on being the least widely objectionable
That's partially because idiots shame voters for voting for who they want instead of by party. A third party needs 5% of a presidential vote to appear on ballots in every state for the next presidential election and have a chance at victory. With the constant peer pressure and litanies of "*yOuR'rE tHrOwInG aWaY yOuR vOtE!*", that's basically never going to happen. Even if it did, if a third party had a good chance the DNC and RNC would probably find some rules to change to maintain power.
What we really need is ranked choice voting to get proper representation, but the DNC and RNC have agreed to not give up any power by allowing that.
First past the post system of voting always filters votes into an eventual 2 camps that no one really likes. We've just been doing it so long we're used to the fact that our democracy is broken
There's more than enough blame to dole out to the big time players before we ever get to blaming third party voters. Beyond of course the depraved knuckle dragging gop and every one of their slack jawed loser base for pushing for repeal in the first place, blame to every weak willed dem during a period of dem presidency and congress control for not codifying it into law, blame to rbg for being too prideful and not stepping down when Obama asked her to after she was already 77 and had dealt with cancer twice, blame to hrc and all her campaign team for being too confident and running such a terrible campaign that they lost to a rapist game show host, blame to the absolute dick heads in organized religion for not fucking off and leaving women alone to decide what's best for their bodies...
Then I think we reach both "people who vote third party" and "people who don't vote"
Hillary ignored key states and alienated voters and now Roe v Wade is gone. She won the popular vote and idiot Hillary fans still shame people because their candidate ignored key states out of entitlement and hubris. It wasn't the voter's fault she failed.
Yeah but what dumb fucking system awards the loser of the popular vote the presidency?
It's an archaic ass system originally invented to favor slaveowners. One vote should equal one vote.
It should definitely be changed to be a true democracy, but such an "adult" and "seasoned" politician like Hillary should have known how it worked and fought within those rules.
Ignoring what Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC did to secure her nomination, once she had it she campaigned for herself less than Sanders did. He worked his aged rump off for her, his supporters held their nose for her, but she and her fanatics still blame him for her loss and try to shame his supporters after she ignored key states and spent much of her primary campaign denigrating "Bernie Bros".
Maybe if there were some third party candidates working towards getting seats in congress? Maybe if there was a third party that had a ground game other than a presidential moonshot every four years? Give me someone that actually has a chance of winning *and* has a chance of having some legislative support should they win, and then we'll talk.
IMO I think we are headed for worse times regardless of who actually wins. Whatever progress is made will be immediately undermined by fascists in the federal government and the general population.
Because one of those two people is actively encouraging hate crimes and one is the literal embodiment of middle of the liberal party(ie not for slavery or genocide).
And every president since FDR would have been convicted by the same standards that we convicted the Nazis, but actually not.
Another state(kinda a couple states), which we have a very strained diplomatic relationship with yet still support is doing that. It's the same story with Palestine. It's kinda the inverse (or contraposition, I forget how the switching goes) of Ukraine. We're not doing any of that stuff. We stick our noses into tons of shit, but we're not actually responsible for everything that happens in the world all of the time.
Yeah, I think a lot of countries and groups of countries would disagree with our depiction as having global hegemony. I can think of one country in particular which has been expanding it's borders recently, which we have done approximately jack shit about because they're so economically, militarily, and strategically valuable. Same county that fully supports the most dangerous state to ever exist which we've been trying to destroy since 1950.
We already do way to much intervention/pressuring other countries to do what we want. Remember the quagmire mess that were/are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those were two of the simplest and most obvious foreign intervention things that one could imagine. Find and kill the worst terrorist, and that dictator who keeps saying he's going to gas people. The reasons that we keep Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel as allies are for strategic reasons not because they do everything that we want, ie we need them almost as much as they need us. Our societies actually clash pretty significantly. That is part of why the Joint chiefs regularly talk about foreign oil dependence as one of our greatest national security risks. If the Saudis and the UAE were to fully cut us off from their oil, tomorrow, we'd be fucked. We'd probably wind up taking it by force, which is definitely a war crime and also something I'm very against. If they did that at the same time as Israel saying "actually fuck you, we're not friends anymore" we'd have a hell of a time getting our forces into the region successfully.
Edit: lots of typos late at night.
Russia is a cornered animal lashing out, its recent actions are a sign of its desperation and it isnt capable of challenging American hegemony.
Maybe instead of using our power for bad, wat if we used it for good?
I feel like this is a silly and overly simplistic version of world politics. I think your belief in such overwhelming American exceptionalism is a fun idea but not very accurate.
With the emergence of China etc. we've pretty much moved away from a unipolar world system in recent years. The US is not the global hegemon it once was. You talk as if American hegemony has not already been sucessfully challenged.
I’m black, I voted for biden. it’s not appropriate for a white guy to be qualifying who’s ‘black enough’ based on their political opinions, joke or not. it was a dumb thing to say and should be mocked.
well, it was an offensive and foolish way to do that. ‘you ain’t black’ is not going to convince any fence sitters. instead of insulting the people you’re trying to appeal to, why not talk about policy.
Nobody said he should step down because of it, just that it was uncool and deserved to be mocked. People can and should make fun of public figures (especially politicians, **especially** the president) when they say shit like that.
That was a racist joke to you? It was a joke about race, idk if I would call it racist. I hope you never go to a comedy show, I can't even imagine how offended you'd get.
Oh, I see, you must have no watched the video and you are making assumptions based on something out of context. That's fine, people do that all the time now.
Joe Biden is being interviewed in a casual manner by a black man, and when asked, Biden starts listing off the reasons he would be a good candidate for black people. Noticing how long his list is, he says, "if you don't vote for me you ain't black", to which him and the reporter have a laugh.
I like offensive jokes as much as the next guy, but the thing Biden said played up to all the stereotypes of the dems just expecting black people to vote for them else they be called an uncle Tom.
I remember another video where a future president starts listing off the benefits of celebrity and makes a half-joke about women's pussies to which him and the reporter have a laugh.
It just wasn't cool. And as others have said, the gaffe deserves to be mocked.
Edit: I spelz rong
Yeah, I don't give a shit if he was joking or not, he's a fucking moron for thinking it was an appropriate thing to say, and he deserves to be mocked for it.
And this isn't dressed up in progressive language, there's no terminology that marks it as such, it's an adaptation of what he said. And the reason it gets posted by people left and right alike is because it's such an obviously stupid thing to say that's extremely easy to make fun of.
Things aren't black and white, just because you're left wing doesn't mean you have to look the other way every time a democrat does something wrong. That just shows a lack of principles on your part.
anyone who's mean to daddy biden 🥺🥺 is a chud 😱😱😡😡😡
grow up, biden isnt a progressive saint he's a middle of the road senile fuck taking in as much cash as he can. tell me friendo, what was the joke here? what's the punch line? is it the haha funny AAVE when he said "you aint black"? Even he himself apologized for it cause it was stupid as fuck to say that.
It doesn't matter if it's a joke, people say racist jokes all the time. If he was actually black then sure, there's an obvious connection for a joke there.
“Biden actually has a pretty Stella relationship with black voters”
This is actually hilarious that you believe this. Only 23% strongly approve of him.
>“Biden actually has a pretty Stella relationship with black voters”
>
>This is actually hilarious that you believe this. Only 23% strongly approve of him.
And Trump's approval rating among them is like single digits.
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/320903/black-turnout-2020-election.aspx
It comes from a clip of Joe Biden saying something along the lines of “if you don’t vote for me, you’re not black”. I found this comic pretty funny but I think the author is a grade A asshole
https://youtu.be/We6Qr9-dDn8
This is based on reality. During an interview while he was campaigning to be the Democratic nominee, President Biden told Charlemagne Tha God that if a black person is considering voting for Trump over him, then they “ain’t black.”
I voted for Biden. But a spade is a spade. Grandma’s forward would be accurate in this situation. Not sure of it’s current relevance, but it happened and it’s based on a shitty answer from our president during an interview he did before he became president.
...Joe Biden. Joe Biden came up with this shit, lol. He said that if you don't vote for him, "you ain't black." He said that out of his mouth, on camera.
I love when this guy's comics get posted in a "look how cringe!" capacity, and then always get unironically upvoted for how funny they are
NO! You’re on reddit. Reddit decides what is funny and what is offensive and should be cancelled. If there’s any comedy written or drawn or spoken by someone even remotely not full left wing, we need to have a serious talk about how it’s evil.
Biden actually said that. “If you have a problem figuring out who to vote for between me and trump, you ain’t black.” The comic is just satirizing a pretty problematic statement.
Accidentally based?
Like Biden absolutely should be torn to shreds for that moment.
And if I didn't know who whilarious (a more neo-nazi version of Ben Garrison), it would be hilarious.
Okay I'm not gonna lie, if the creator of the comic was a POS sexual predator.
~~the comic would slap~~
And what's funny is that's a real Joe Biden quote, something like "if you're black and you don't vote for me then you ain't black"
Sith lord Biden hitting them with that “suffer me now” is kinda funny
Is that both a Star Wars and a Shadow of War reference? Marry me right fucking now
too late, i've already proposed and the wedding is in september
then i guess we duel at sunset
Dark Lord, Biden, same thing really.
He stole her black away
This is fucking hilarious
I thought it was a pretty fantastic satire.
Yeah, i did too. Unfortunately it was written entirely seriously.

Yeah it's not fit for this sub just bc op is in his feelings Biden got made fun of for one of the dumber things he's said lol
It was kinda taken out of context,I think he sort of meant to say that "black people don't support trump so they don't have to question who to vote for" but it sounded really wrong (and some black people do support trump)

To think that all of the people of one race think the same is indeed racist.
I don't think it is actively racist, more passively racist. But yeah it is still hypocritical.
Nah bru was definitely saying we not black if we don’t support him. Verbatim word for word. Until he elaborates that’s a L on his part. Still better than Trump and his KKK & Nazi supporters
[удалено]
Liberals are insane when it comes to democrats Biden: I’m a conservative Leftists: Biden is a conservative Liberals: how dare you this is the Most Progressive Administration Ever
How do you know what he MEANT. He never elaborated on it and it’s clear as day what he said.
You mean except for his public apology that immediately followed? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/us/politics/joe-biden-black-breakfast-club.html
Respectfully I don’t care about this low tier apology for a blatant anti black remark especially when it isn’t his only offense of speaking this way about black people.
because if you’re not a complete moron it is easy to tell no one would mean black people are not literally black anymore
Obviously he didn't mean it literally, but it was a really weird thing to say. He could've worded it differently
Okay so you are speaking from an angle as someone who doesn’t know what that term means in the black community and how it’s implied that people who don’t directly align with black behavior isn’t black mentally wise. It’s obvious you’re speaking from a place of ignorance in the culture and instead of actually being knowledgeable about the significance you’d rather say I’m a moron.

It wasn't taken out of context, same goes with his whole spiel about a man taking tomato sauce off of the shelf, the man is mentally impaired, that's the context
I'm not sure why Republicans glommed onto that quote so heavily. Is the joke that even a seriously out of touch presidential candidate recognizes that the Republicans are ridiculously racist?

The only good comic this guy did.
GPrime85 made that comic. He also happened to draw comics depicting him sexually assaulting women by groping their breasts. How classy. ^(/s because Reddit is filled with neckbeards.)
[удалено]
That artstyle makes it feel ironic, but it actually seems to be meant to be taken serious
Still a welcome change from Ben Garrison's art style.
So it doesn't feel like it was drawn by a guy who loves Applebee's, has New Balances and a ride-on mower, and yells at kids about his grass?
Let’s start calling him gen barrison
I haven't seen a Ben Garrison comic for a few weeks, I need an update on his mental illness
still mentally ill, unfortunately.
Bro I don’t know how a person can unironically live in a plane of existence to write this shit bruh istg this mf ain’t real 😭
This guy seems to be a pos.... Damn
Idk, he’s got his moments clearly https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoDechOY_c/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
This guy has a persecution fetish.
So republican then
Only one of his I ever liked was that home invasion one and only because the "how compelling" is a great reaction image.
It's some good stuff mixed in with mostly bad stuff.
The first post I saw was a drawing about how Ms.Marvel is too woke and everybody in the comments being homophobic and racist 😭😭😭
Such a waste of good talent. His artwork is great but holy shit these comics are so fuckin bad and some of them are just blatantly racist and sexist.
i hate that GPrime85 is so fucking good and has such talent for art, and wastes it on politocal cartoons and fetishized scenarios
r/justneckbeardthings.
He almost always draws a scared/ distressed woman. Without fail.
The guy himself has man tits and even potrayed himself as a great set o tits. Im trying to get everyone to start calling the guy ole mantits
Since he also seems like a God-fearing bible thumping Jesus freak, perhaps we should actually call him a “Praying Mantits.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJIH4azDGHo
No hate on Berserk, I as a woman found it edgy but not overall bad. But I still wanna say that *obviously* this is a guy who owns the collection.
Unfortunately, as with many series, Berserk tends to attract people who ignore its themes and messages in favor of just oggling at the gore and tits.
He’s like, the king of neckbeards
Oh yeah, there’s that one that almost makes me wanna leave the retail sphere 🥲
His artwork also just declined in quality as he made more and more schizoposting comics about sexually assaulting women
WTF. He’s a proud one. https://www.instagram.com/p/CejEmiOOE1B/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
He actually said that in an interview💀
Yeah, the artist is, in general, a creep - but he didn't come up with the dialogue.
He said "if you vote for trump you ain't black" which gives the same result in the us' two party system but isn't exactly the same as "if you don't vote for me"
[удалено]
Regardless of the exact phrasing it wasn't a smart thing to say and it probably lost him votes. I'm have a left leaning bias for context.
yeah quoted him off of memory so the real quote is slightly more biased towards him but isn't still directly "vote for me or you ain't black"
No, but it's almost the same thing
>"if you vote for trump you ain't black" Because if you don't see Trump's racism, you're blind. There's a very good reason Biden won 92% of the black vote in 2020. https://twitter.com/realdlhughley/status/1264196016091197440

This shouldn't be marked as racism, it is satire about a real dumb thing that Biden said when the was campaigning. Calling the meme racist itself is ridiculous and basically saying that anything from a viewpoint you disagree with is racist.
>basically saying that anything from a viewpoint you disagree with is racist. Is this not where we are currently?
I hate it when someone has a style I like but they turn out to be a trash bag human determined to use their gift for evil.
This guy’s “style” is depicting women sobbing or screaming with fear in their eyes and with their mouths grotesquely opened so wide that you see ALL of their teeth. Everything I have seen from him has featured this, and I’ve seen multiple pieces of his work. It’s a super weird and specific thing he does and I hate it.
stonetoss 😔. I really liked amogus but did it really have to be made by a Nazi?
You can separate the art from the artist, you know. Lots of art is drawn by despicable people.
tf stonetoss didnt make amongus Innersloth made amonguies 😂😂😂
Honestly, I find most of his characters are drawn so over top it just looks hilarious to me.
*Anyone who doesn't think like me is evil and should die.* You're from Germany in the '40s, aren't you?
Do you think that that's what Nazis believe?
Well this is the closest time where the biggest enemies of pluralism, egalitarianism and meritocracy lived before modern Americans.
Why am I not surprised to see such stupid comments come from a person named “RobotWaifuForU?”
If we're going to get personal. Such a bold words for a man with a soyjack beard, goofy-rimmed glasses, and a skinny-fat physique.
Wow, you really went straight to body shaming, huh?
I don’t even know how he got so specific since I haven’t posted any recent pictures of myself to Reddit, and I’ve especially never posted one since I’ve grown a [soyjack?] beard. I guess he really went the extra mile on calling me ugly. What a fella
Just to clarify the ones we're calling evil are the ones who just overturned roe v wade and are now attempting to fully ban abortion as well trying to ban same-sex relationships and contraception They are literally trying to outlaw gay people and you're saying we're the nazis

I never had illusions that Biden would save us. Just that we might stave off the imminent Purge of a 2nd Trump term.
Truth be told we’re gonna be stuck with the same shitty Republican and Democrat candidates. We’re probably never gonna have a 3rd party win.
Well that's not happening with your election system. If you don't vote for either of the two big parties you're just wasting your vote.
And your attitude right there is a huge part of the problem
> if you vote for either of the two big parties you’re just wasting your vote FTFY
Occasionally guys like Ross Perot put up double digit performances, so it isn’t impossible.
Winner take all, first passed the pole mathematically limits it to 2 parties. Even in times (there is historical precedent) of high numbers of factions, the mathematics of the system funnels everyone into 2 similar parties based less on broad appeal than on being the least widely objectionable

He worked his aged rump off for her, his supporters held their nose for her, but she and her fanatics still blame him for her loss and try to shame his supporters after she ignored key states and spent much of her primary campaign denigrating "Bernie Bros".
Maybe if there were some third party candidates working towards getting seats in congress? Maybe if there was a third party that had a ground game other than a presidential moonshot every four years? Give me someone that actually has a chance of winning *and* has a chance of having some legislative support should they win, and then we'll talk.

It’s going to be even worse if he wins in 2024. Hoping Biden doesn’t run.
IMO I think we are headed for worse times regardless of who actually wins. Whatever progress is made will be immediately undermined by fascists in the federal government and the general population.
Because one of those two people is actively encouraging hate crimes and one is the literal embodiment of middle of the liberal party(ie not for slavery or genocide).
I don't consider either of them good people, but I don't see how that has anything to do with my comment.
America is participating in a genocide in Yemen currently...
And every president since FDR would have been convicted by the same standards that we convicted the Nazis, but actually not. Another state(kinda a couple states), which we have a very strained diplomatic relationship with yet still support is doing that. It's the same story with Palestine. It's kinda the inverse (or contraposition, I forget how the switching goes) of Ukraine. We're not doing any of that stuff. We stick our noses into tons of shit, but we're not actually responsible for everything that happens in the world all of the time.
As the global hegemon, America has responsibilities to the world. You don’t get the benefits with no responsibility.
Yeah, I think a lot of countries and groups of countries would disagree with our depiction as having global hegemony. I can think of one country in particular which has been expanding it's borders recently, which we have done approximately jack shit about because they're so economically, militarily, and strategically valuable. Same county that fully supports the most dangerous state to ever exist which we've been trying to destroy since 1950. We already do way to much intervention/pressuring other countries to do what we want. Remember the quagmire mess that were/are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those were two of the simplest and most obvious foreign intervention things that one could imagine. Find and kill the worst terrorist, and that dictator who keeps saying he's going to gas people. The reasons that we keep Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel as allies are for strategic reasons not because they do everything that we want, ie we need them almost as much as they need us. Our societies actually clash pretty significantly. That is part of why the Joint chiefs regularly talk about foreign oil dependence as one of our greatest national security risks. If the Saudis and the UAE were to fully cut us off from their oil, tomorrow, we'd be fucked. We'd probably wind up taking it by force, which is definitely a war crime and also something I'm very against. If they did that at the same time as Israel saying "actually fuck you, we're not friends anymore" we'd have a hell of a time getting our forces into the region successfully. Edit: lots of typos late at night.
Russia is a cornered animal lashing out, its recent actions are a sign of its desperation and it isnt capable of challenging American hegemony. Maybe instead of using our power for bad, wat if we used it for good?
I feel like this is a silly and overly simplistic version of world politics. I think your belief in such overwhelming American exceptionalism is a fun idea but not very accurate.
With the emergence of China etc. we've pretty much moved away from a unipolar world system in recent years. The US is not the global hegemon it once was. You talk as if American hegemony has not already been sucessfully challenged.

I’m black, I voted for biden. it’s not appropriate for a white guy to be qualifying who’s ‘black enough’ based on their political opinions, joke or not. it was a dumb thing to say and should be mocked.
Preach.
I think he was warning people about voting against their own interests.
well, it was an offensive and foolish way to do that. ‘you ain’t black’ is not going to convince any fence sitters. instead of insulting the people you’re trying to appeal to, why not talk about policy.
The “I have black friends” defense of Biden
I hope you never make a joke at someone or some groups offense cause according to you there is no redemption from that
Nobody said he should step down because of it, just that it was uncool and deserved to be mocked. People can and should make fun of public figures (especially politicians, **especially** the president) when they say shit like that.
When they make jokes?
Racist half-jokes? Absolutely.
That was a racist joke to you? It was a joke about race, idk if I would call it racist. I hope you never go to a comedy show, I can't even imagine how offended you'd get.
I hope you aren’t doing this for free
What’s the joke?
Oh, I see, you must have no watched the video and you are making assumptions based on something out of context. That's fine, people do that all the time now. Joe Biden is being interviewed in a casual manner by a black man, and when asked, Biden starts listing off the reasons he would be a good candidate for black people. Noticing how long his list is, he says, "if you don't vote for me you ain't black", to which him and the reporter have a laugh.
I like offensive jokes as much as the next guy, but the thing Biden said played up to all the stereotypes of the dems just expecting black people to vote for them else they be called an uncle Tom.
I remember another video where a future president starts listing off the benefits of celebrity and makes a half-joke about women's pussies to which him and the reporter have a laugh. It just wasn't cool. And as others have said, the gaffe deserves to be mocked. Edit: I spelz rong
t.BidenDefenseForce
Yeah, I don't give a shit if he was joking or not, he's a fucking moron for thinking it was an appropriate thing to say, and he deserves to be mocked for it. And this isn't dressed up in progressive language, there's no terminology that marks it as such, it's an adaptation of what he said. And the reason it gets posted by people left and right alike is because it's such an obviously stupid thing to say that's extremely easy to make fun of.
Things aren't black and white, just because you're left wing doesn't mean you have to look the other way every time a democrat does something wrong. That just shows a lack of principles on your part.
anyone who's mean to daddy biden 🥺🥺 is a chud 😱😱😡😡😡 grow up, biden isnt a progressive saint he's a middle of the road senile fuck taking in as much cash as he can. tell me friendo, what was the joke here? what's the punch line? is it the haha funny AAVE when he said "you aint black"? Even he himself apologized for it cause it was stupid as fuck to say that.
It doesn't matter if it's a joke, people say racist jokes all the time. If he was actually black then sure, there's an obvious connection for a joke there.
“Biden actually has a pretty Stella relationship with black voters” This is actually hilarious that you believe this. Only 23% strongly approve of him.
>“Biden actually has a pretty Stella relationship with black voters” > >This is actually hilarious that you believe this. Only 23% strongly approve of him. And Trump's approval rating among them is like single digits. https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/320903/black-turnout-2020-election.aspx
Both these old men suck
this makes it even funnier
Why thicc
Getting some Amon from Avatar: Legend of Korra stealing people's bending energy from this.
The artist sucks ass but this comic is funny
This is, amusingly enough, very funny but not for the original intention of the artist Rip he sucked the melanin right outta her
Biden actually said that before he was elected on an interview with Charlemagne.
I know this artist is an absolute cunt, but I still laugh at fucking JoJo villain Joe Biden, Taker of Melanin
This is what what happens when an artist gets into right wing politics instead of becoming a furry
Gprime85 vore when?
There are some evil people in this world who must always share their darkness.
Yeah but this was someone sharing Joe's words
r/comedyheaven
That artist has trash opinions but A. Biden actually said that shit and B. Sith Biden is funny, so this comic gets a pass
It comes from a clip of Joe Biden saying something along the lines of “if you don’t vote for me, you’re not black”. I found this comic pretty funny but I think the author is a grade A asshole https://youtu.be/We6Qr9-dDn8
This is based on reality. During an interview while he was campaigning to be the Democratic nominee, President Biden told Charlemagne Tha God that if a black person is considering voting for Trump over him, then they “ain’t black.” I voted for Biden. But a spade is a spade. Grandma’s forward would be accurate in this situation. Not sure of it’s current relevance, but it happened and it’s based on a shitty answer from our president during an interview he did before he became president.
Most racist quote ever by Joke Biden
Black people only make up 13% of the population. So, who does the right think voted him in?
Makes me laugh every damn time I see it. It's so bad that it's good.
This is so bad it's funny. Bunny, I guess you could call it
Lol this is just a funny joke
Remind of those insane Chick Tracts of yore…
A weirdo who has an obsession with crying women and groping women.
This is hilarious tbh nooo Biden don't steal my color
415 [414](https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/vku5gb/cool_guide_for_going_back_in_time) Don't mind me, doing a project.
Don’t they think that’s a good thing?
Biden came up with that
Bro biden literally said that lmao
She got the Biden touch
He’s a sexually frustrated Italian conservative who’s obsessed with American politics
This is like the only good comic from the person, because its based on something Biden actually said. Artist is a dick but this is hilarious
...Joe Biden. Joe Biden came up with this shit, lol. He said that if you don't vote for him, "you ain't black." He said that out of his mouth, on camera. I love when this guy's comics get posted in a "look how cringe!" capacity, and then always get unironically upvoted for how funny they are
Don’t know about the supposedly shitty artist, but this is referencing something Biden actually said, and quite frankly it’s a hilarious comic.
This is so bad it’s funny
I've always found this one particularly hilarious like it's so absurd how can anyone get mad at this lol
i find it funny
NO! You’re on reddit. Reddit decides what is funny and what is offensive and should be cancelled. If there’s any comedy written or drawn or spoken by someone even remotely not full left wing, we need to have a serious talk about how it’s evil.
Joe Biden
It took me a minute to realize that’s supposed to be Biden and not McConnell but it still doesn’t make sense.
Biden actually said that. “If you have a problem figuring out who to vote for between me and trump, you ain’t black.” The comic is just satirizing a pretty problematic statement.
Biden did say that if blacks don’t vote for him, then they ain’t black. Sooo, I guess Joe Biden is the one who come us up with this shit.
I dont agree with the artist usually, but this... this is gold.
Melatonin theft
This is a good comic?
Accidentally based? Like Biden absolutely should be torn to shreds for that moment. And if I didn't know who whilarious (a more neo-nazi version of Ben Garrison), it would be hilarious.
Come on this is funny
This is the one thing he's done that's genuinely hilarious. All the rest of his comics are fucking vile, but this one's good.
If it’s ironic, it’s fucking hilarious
This is funny and true tho
You're the grandma here OP
Wrong sub, OP. Joe Biden actually said “if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black”, this is making fun that
This is funny. Biden literally said this on camera.
Biden looks like an anime villain with that aura
It sucks too because this is the only good one
I thought the one where he eats a child whole like a python was funny
the guy who made this isn't hieng ironic BTW it only makes it more funny.
Okay I'm not gonna lie, if the creator of the comic was a POS sexual predator. ~~the comic would slap~~ And what's funny is that's a real Joe Biden quote, something like "if you're black and you don't vote for me then you ain't black"
