For context, in baseball they still refer to the negro leagues from back when baseball was segregated

Relax. He's recounting an old story and had to put himself back into the shoes of the life of a white man in the 50's and 60's. It was done for authenticity.

It was done because he's old and he's saying it as he remembers it

I mean, he's referring to the Negro Leagues, he's not just referring to some random dude with that term.

I don't doubt that he has racist tendencies, but this ain't it.

Everyone paying attention knew what he was saying but his nonchalant, sleepy delivery is what makes it a facepalm moment as if that's still a defining term to him today.

I mean you see him wave his hand as if to correct himself with "pitcher in the Negro League". Dude's just old and jumbled his thoughts like old people do. Which is why we need to stop running so many old farts like him for president anyway. The minimum age is 35, let's get someone with a little more youth and a quicker, sharper mind.

But it's not abnormal to refer to Satchel Paige as "the great Negro League pitcher at the time". That's literally what he was, and Biden explains that he went on to become a great pitcher in the pros.

So like, is this jumping at shadows by people who don't understand historical context? It's not Biden's fault that people in the past were shitty and came up with segregated leagues.

I mean he was praising racial segregation as late as the 80's so.

Put really he comes from an era where it was thr acceptable term to use. A younger person shouldnt be saying it.

you're altering the quote. he said "the great negro at the time." just because he's talking about the Negro Leaague doesn't mean he should call the man a negro

And he corrected himself. He clearly was referring to Paige's participation in the Negro League, not to his race.

The man is the poster child for age limits on the presidency. Put it at 75 to lock Trump out so the left hops on board. These people are just way too fucking old to be the leaders of the country.

Because I don't think this is a yikes moment, he's an old dude who clearly stumbled over his words here.

I think faking outrage over this devalues the real outrage over real examples of really troubling racial politics in his career. Dude actually has done and said racist shit in the past, I just don't think this is an example of it.

lmao you're embarrassing. comparing it to worse stuff so you can call it stumbling instead of straightforwardly acknowledging he called him a negro. i have a feeling you wouldn't be so kind if it was a republican since you seem like a squirmy hack

Think what you like, his party is irrelevant to me. Both parties are right wing and riddled with racists, so the difference is skin deep.
