“THE GREAT NEGRO!”: Biden Makes Eyebrow Raising Comment During Speech
by Collin Rugg
about an hour ago
During a speech on Thursday, President Joe Biden referred to pitcher Satchel Paige as “the great negro.” Biden has a history of referring to black people in a negative way.
“Thank you for your service to our country. I want to tell you, I know you are a little younger than I am, but I have adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time — pitcher in the Negro league who went on to become a great pitcher in the pros…” Biden said. “His name is Satchel Paige. On his 47th birthday, he pitched a win against Chicago. All the press went in and said it‘s amazing, 47 years old.”
WATCH:
Biden’s comments towards black people has been an issue for him in the past. Leading up to the 2020 election, Biden told the black community that if they don’t vote for him, they “ain’t black.”
The comments came during an interview with radio show host Charlamagne in New York City. Charlamagne told Biden that he had “more questions” for the then-former vice president.
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden said. “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
The comment was not only racist, but it was also “voter intimidation” according to opinion writer Paris Dennard who reacted to the comment in USA Today.

Seriously?
If Trump had said that, it would be impeachment time (again).

When racism is shown by the left it's not racism but if someone on the right just says BLACK they are white supremacists no matter what race they are.

Oh I'm sure the media and harridans on the View will start the 'Oh that's just Joe' coverup with the excuse that he just slipped up because that's how Blacks were referred to in his youth. We al lno the truth, Biden is a racist SOB and he just let the real him slip out.

Biden is such a liar. Satchel Paige was not the first MLB player to get a win at age 47. In 1932, Jack Quinn got his last win pitching for Brooklyn at age 49. Also, Paige did not pitch on his 47th birthday. Dick Littlefield was the starter. He went 7 innings before being relieved by Bobo Holloman, who got the loss. And it wasn't against Chigago. It was against Cleveland.

But other than that, Joe is right on point, as usual. :silly:

Well okay, but was Paige at least clean and articulate?
