Obama is the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man. Did my post just get removed?
For the Democratic Party and media outlets that continuously play the victim card, they really don’t mind it when one of their own does it. Can you imagine if Trump said something like that? What would the moral outrage be? Now FB, Tumblr and Minds if you remove my post just remember it’s been “taken totally out of context my use of the world ‘clean”. I was referring to a phrase my mother used “clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack”. Come ON! WHAT A JOKE! The worst part about the whole statement was not even addressed! In 2007 Biden thought Obama was the first Main Stream African American? We ignore that?
This article goes on to quote a few more gems from Biden. If Trump or I said any of this we would be ridiculed as a raciest. Even Rev. Jesse Jackson gave Biden a pass. I wonder if people were aware of these comments when casting ballets in 2020? There are different standards in the court of popular opinion for conservatives than anyone else and it’s trickling over into the court of law.
There are only a dozen or so reasons Joey would say something like this and only a handful I would agree to discuss. One possible is Joe Biden is unknowingly raciest. He is not even aware that he treats or sees people inferior to him based of the color of their skin. The color of an individual’s skin is so important to liberal Larrys and Lindas and Joey tries to discuss it and play a part in it but trips and stumbles over his own biases.
OR Joe Biden is sick and has been sick. This is my biggest argument; Joe Biden has never been the sharpest tool in the shed and in 2007 he started to slowly decline. His mental cognitive ability has been question to a lot of people for awhile. NOW it is thrust into the lime light. Thumbs up and finger points aren’t going to save Joey this time.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Biden issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama."
"Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that the Democratic or Republican Party has produced at least since I've been around," Biden said on the call. "And he's fresh. He's new. He's smart. He's insightful. And I really regret that some have taken totally out of context my use of the world 'clean.'"
Biden said he was referring to a phrase used by his mother.
"My mother has an expression: clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack," Biden said.
Earlier in the day, Biden had officially filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch a presidential campaign. Biden ran for the White House in 1988, but pulled out of the race before the first votes were cast.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, who also ran for president in 1988, also said he did not think Biden was being racist. However, Jackson did say that he called Biden to talk to him about it.
"You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I'm not joking."
"Better than everybody else. You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a northeast liberal state," Biden said.
He repeated the comment during a visit to South Carolina in December 2006 at an event before the Columbia Rotary Club, according to a story published in The State newspaper. The State reported that Biden referred to Delaware as a "slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way."
