friends of Caucasian persuasion: if you happen to say a thing that black people find racist or unacceptably coddling of racists, one way to *not diffuse things is to decide you are the victim and the black people owe YOU an apology

Setting aside voters, Dem nominee will have to form and mobilize coalitions of activists on the left. I know of very few black or brown organizers (esp young ones) who’d take well to the declaration from a white septuagenarian that they “know better” than to criticize him on race

Biden was already well behind for me and losing steam in the weeks before this. This is quickly making him a definitive ‘Nope’ for me alongside Bernie. This is some fascinatingly awful and tonedeaf shit he’s peddling here quick.
