The founder of BET had some really strong words for Joe Biden today after his racist comments this morning. Bret Baier reported the statement, which read:
“VP Biden’s statement today represents the, arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not Black unless they vote for him. This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets."
Statement by Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television & RLJ Companies.

Wow. I thought Senator Tim Scott’s statement was brutal, but this one just ripped a hole in Biden the size of Jupiter.
I love how Johnson ends the statement, saying Biden “should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets.” Damn straight.
This isn’t the first time Biden had made a racist remark. Remember how he said in 2012 Republicans were going to put black people ‘back in chains’? It appears now he’s the one that wants them in ‘election’ chains.
Here’s a statement on Biden’s comments from Harris Faulkner today. She lit him up too and Trump loved it:
