It was one of the ugliest moments in the 2020 campaign… but unlike Romney’s bogus ‘binders full of women’ scandal, Joe got a total pass on his ‘you ain’t black’ line.
Everyone in the media was too committed to taking down Trump to care about Joe Biden’s casual racism.
But that doesn’t mean other people have forgotten, especially Larry Elder.
Elder was Charlamagne’s guest on The Breakfast Club last week. This was the same show where Joe said ‘If you vote for Trump, you ain’t black’.
The host asked Elder a leading ‘racial consciousness’ question. For those who are familiar with Larry Elder’s story, he isn’t a big fan of the left’s standard oppressed/oppressor racial narratives, so Larry didn’t take the bait when he was asked about a ‘n*gg*r wake-up call’.
Larry, a top-tier debater, turned the question back around on him and used it as an opening to talk about the Biden interview.
It was a master-class in reclaiming the narrative.
Why is this a big deal? This is more than just an ‘own the libs’ moment (although, to be fair, the host claims to support neither party).
This guy is a big deal, especially in a demographic that reflexively votes for the Democrats.
This 2020 LA Times article gives a sense of why Larry Elder’s ‘reframing’ of Joe Biden’s racism is important:
“The Breakfast Club” reaches 8 million listeners a month — more than half of them Black — according to Nielsen data, and many of them are in the coveted 18-to-34 age group. Its YouTube channel with video segments from each morning’s program has nearly 5 million subscribers.

“The Breakfast Club” hosts do not hide their political leanings. Yee recently wore a cotton T-shirt on the air with “Anti Trump Social Club” emblazoned on it, an accurate representation of the team’s opinion of the current administration. Trump acolytes often show up in Charlamagne’s “Donkey of the Day” segment that calls out foolish acts and statements. — LATimes
It’s one thing for FoxNews and Breitbart to talk about Joe Biden’s checkered past with respect to racism. Most of their audiences have probably heard it before.
But to go onto a show that drinks deeply of the racial consciousness hype and hold a mirror of truth up against Joe Biden’s casual racism to THEIR audience?
Some of those folks are sure to be hearing this for the first time. And they’re hearing it from the lips of a black Republican candidate.
This is how you take the fight back to culture.
Larry says he’s still got a shot at meeting the requirements to stand on the GOP debate stage. If someone with his talents at debating can get the exposure that stage would provide, that could be a total game-changer for his campaign.

If Masculinity Is ‘Toxic’, Call Jesus Radioactive
Much of the Left loathes masculinity and they love to paint Jesus as a non-offensive bearded woman who endorses their agenda. This book blows that nonsense all to hell. From the stonking laptop of bestselling author, Doug Giles, comes a new book that focuses on Jesus’ overt masculine traits like no other books have heretofore. It’s informative, bold, hilarious, and scary. Giles has concluded, after many years of scouring the scripture that, If Masculinity Is ‘Toxic’, Call Jesus Radioactive.
