I may be in the minority here, but I kind of understand the context of what Biden was trying to say with this comment. I don't think it was racist and I don't think he was saying black women can only be shelf stockers.
Yes there is a double standard and if Trump had said this the media would try and crucify him. And his supporters, me included, would all sit back and say they were taking the comments out of context. In that vein, I will call out this criticism from conservative media for what it is, nonsense. IMHO it's gotcha media fake outrage, pure and simple.
Yeah, I get the idea that the leftist media set the rules and we're just playing by them, but that's what got is where we are today. There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize Biden for, this is not one of them. I would say the exact same thing about Trump.
I'm just so sick of the inconsistency and the hypocrisy. If we would defend "our guy" if the situation were reversed, we shouldn't attack the "other guy" for it. It's just so silly.
We tried 'we're better than that' numerous times, and it just does not work. To a certain extent we get the elections we deserve and I cannot fault conservatives for dropping the thesaurus and picking up a club if that is what it takes to make an impression on the electorate
You can't re-establish chivalry and fair play by falling on your sword, you have to win first and then set the rules to a more enlightened program. Sherman first, and then that establishes the maneuvering room for Grant to grant conditions of surrender that are less onerous
