What what you make of Biden’s “if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black” comment?

Biden's slip of the tongue indicated that Democrats have been taking African Americans for granted for decades. Even Obama was criticized for doing nothing for African Americans by that community.

On the other hand, the NAACP has given Trump awards.
@HoraceGreenley That's like AIPAC giving David Duke an award. I've looked for that and couldn't find a record of it, so that may be just more bullshit. The NAACP endorsed Joe Biden for President.

But hey, as a white man you know what's best for black people better than they do themselves. Just look what happened when you gave them the vote.

The NAACP unequivocally stated that it has not endorsed Biden. Biden lied about thst too. @LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson The NAACP has never given Trump an award. He lied about that, too. Or you're lying.

Statement of NAACP President Derrick Johnson:

“Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a comment about the NAACP’s endorsement. We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and [b]does not endorse candidates for political office[/b] at any level."

As I said Biden lied about the NAACP and you clearly agree with me. @LeopoldBloom

@LeopoldBloom The video of it has been removed from YouTube. Articles referencing the award have been removed from search engines and online archives
@HoraceGreenley Bullshit. That's impossible. The Internet can't be scrubbed to that degree.

Maybe the one Nazi site you looked at that mentioned it removed the fake reference. But since you're so convinced it's real, maybe you should log into Wikipedia and add that to the list of awards Trump's page shows him as receiving from various organizations.

@jackjjackson Hey, careful with that, you don't want the guys back at the klavern to see that.

More projection. You have issues ma’am. @LeopoldBloom

@LeopoldBloom You think I made it up? I read about it. Considering that it was over 20 years ago it is possible. I've seen it happen before.

But you choose to do whatever you want with that information.
@HoraceGreenley I don't think you made it up, I just think your source is questionable if it's disappeared without a trace. It's also possible you're misremembering it. Maybe you're thinking of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor that Trump received in 1986, along with Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali. This award was not given by the NAACP. Trump has claimed that this award was for his work in helping inner-city black youth, when in fact it was not. He received the award in recognition of his work as a real estate developer, and to commemorate his German immigrant heritage.

Ali sure was something wasn’t he?@LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson He was a remarkable man. Back when boxing actually meant something. I was pretty young when the Ali-Frazer fight happened, but I knew about it because it was major news.

How about Sugar Ray Leonard taking out Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler? Not quite Ali level but a heck of a boxer when as you say boxing was boxing. @LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson Definitely. Although Ali had the poetic language and the political aspect from his conversion to Islam. Some sportscasters continued to refer to him as Cassius Clay for years after he officially changed his name.

A few jackasses yes. His main main Howard Cosell did not. They helped each other’s careers. I would definitely include Alic in the top ten humans of my lifetime. @LeopoldBloom
