Charlamagne responded, "It don't have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact, I want something for my community. Later on Friday afternoon, Biden addressed his comments in a call with the US Black Chamber of Commerce, saying, "I shouldn't have been so cavalier" and insisting he doesn't take black voters for granted.
I know that the comments have come off like I was taking the African American vote for granted but nothing could be further from the truth. I've never, ever done that and I've earned it every time I've run," he said. I shouldn't have been so cavalier. Biden at times during the race has quickly become testy when challenged over his record by groups the former vice president believes would fare worse under Trump.
In November, he told a protester criticizing former President Barack Obama's record on deportations that "you should vote for Trump. The interview was Biden's first appearance on "The Breakfast Club," a popular nationally syndicated radio show broadcast from New York City that other leading Democratic presidential candidates appeared on during the primary. Charlamagne said during an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on Friday night that the former vice president's comments were "just a shock coming from an old white man like Joe Biden.
He called Biden "a very intricate part" of the legal system disenfranchising black Americans. He cited Biden's role in legislation such as the crime bill , which expanded the federal death penalty and created dramatically harsher sentencing laws including "three strikes," mandatory life terms for people with at least three federal violent crime or drug convictions. If Biden wants to be president, he needs to "really help the people that have helped Democrats, all of these years," Charlamagne added.
Biden's win in the Democratic primary was fueled primarily by his support from African American voters, particularly older ones, who catapulted him to the win in South Carolina that set the stage for Biden to all but end the race in the following weeks. It was good to see him get played. For a split second there I actually thought that Jim would stay on as manager for good while Michael would return to sales.
Fool me once, shame on me, I guess. This one was more plausible than most, but in the end it feels like the show was just marking time rather than changing the status quo in any meaningful sort of way.
They shook hands and congratulated each other on the successful conclusion of their plan to bring down Jim. I felt a little cheated because earlier in the season, when Ryan told Dwight that he wanted in on his plan, it sounded like they were setting up something big. Then it disappeared until tonight, when it ended, without really going anywhere. A few disappointments, but it feels like the show is really coming back. Overall, color me happy.
