Is Joe Biden Being Racist?

From Joe Biden’s radio show interview with Charlamagne Tha God on the Breakfast Club that aired today:

“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump — then you ain’t black!” — Joe Biden

Stunning comment from the former Vice President and candidate for the Presidency. What think you? Is this a racist comment? What about the attitude? Is Joe Biden being condescending?

Some reaction and commentary from earlier today to consider below…

It is quiet as a church mouse on the left. It's a shame because you cannot make progress if you don’t call things out. Whitewashing Vice President @JoeBiden's comments only means he will consistently disrespect the Black vote. pic.twitter.com/1DWjP6ykCB

Vice President @JoeBiden ‘s latest quote is both pathetic & hurtful. Challenging millions on their blackness is condescending. The GOP was started to oppose slavery. I have the right to think and vote for myself along with all other Americans, including black Americans. pic.twitter.com/RRURX1eMbY
