    The group awarding it was run by a friend and business partner of Donald Trump. Case closed.

        He's just trying to say that they're "articulate and bright and clean and ... nice-looking." You know, like he once described Obama.

          And I really don't think Joe is racist in the sense that he hates blacks -- I think he's racist in the sense that he thinks they're less competent and they need help from him and his cronies.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Not hardly - that would be true for most such awards - according you. And the guy still has to do something irrational.

              We need a word for 'loves the idea of black people but thinks they are all incompetent'.

                  The soft racism of low expectations.

                    I know you're probably joking, but there is DEFINITELY something to that in the white liberal mind.

                      Only partly joking, sir.

                        You mean like Reagan. He once referred to people from Africa as “monkeys” who were “still uncomfortable wearing shoes”. But I doubt Reagan was actually racist any more than Biden is racist. Biden still remains top choice for Black voters, whereas 80 percent of African American voters surveyed consider Trump a racist according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on July 30.

                          Yep, Reagan called black people "monkeys" while on a phone call with Nixon, and Nixon in return called them "cannibals." That is racist, but what Biden said is not. Biden is not always very articulate, but intelligent unbiased people know what he means.

                                No, you were talking about your very idealized version of Biden, in the face of tremendous evidence to the contrary.
