Actually, BPB chose a close facsimile to the dreaded
articulate comment, imo.
I am so incredibly tired of white people calling black people "articulate." It is OBVIOUSLY spoken from a position of latent superiority. I fully believe Biden is comfortable with his views on race and didn't mean any harm. Things like this ooze out when you aren't paying attention. (From those whose views
require that they pay attention....)
I hate that word.
I think by clean--he meant "clean record."
I hope this doesn't hang onto Biden. He's really improved as a human being since the last time he ran and has some bold opinions that break outside the pack.
We're going to be seeing a lot of this stuff during the campaign, imo. I actually think the dialogue will improve race relationships--as long as people are allowed to make mistakes to learn from. Biden's learning one right now. The other campaigns are probably looking at this closely. I just hope PC doesn't shut down useful dialogue ...
The
storybook thing got my attention more than the other word choices. Did he mean "only possible in a fantasy" <---really bad or "the stuff of happily ever after endings"<--good. I tend to think he meant the latter.
I'd like to hear his answer--but he's had time to do boiler room damage control with his war room by now.
What do you think of blacks being deemed as "articulate," snood....anybody...? Can we write the DOJ?? Stop the madness!!!
