Diversity vs. Monolithicity - Hispanics and "Blacks"

[DGS49]

Yesterday, former Vice President Joseph Biden made comments that implied that the American Black community is attitudinally monolithic. And of course, the President joined the current army of Professional Umbrage-Takers, telling all who would listen that this was a gigantic insult to America's Black community, and Biden doesn't deserve a single Black vote, due to his racist perspective.

Judge for yourself:

"Yes, yes," Biden responded. "And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

My thoughts start with the observation that the very word, "Hispanic," is bullshit. "Hispanic" implies that Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, Panamanians, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, and even - if you can imagine it - Americans from SPAIN, are all part of one "community," and can be thought of as a monolithic horde - merely because they speak the same (or a similar) language. This is manifestly preposterous. And while most of these distinct ethnic groups tend to vote Democrat, Cubans conspicuously divert from this path, as do a few others.

On the contrary, Blacks are as monolithic as can be. The dreadful Mrs. Clinton defeated Donald Trump by an EIGHTY POINT MARGIN (88%-8%) in 2016. Imagine what the margin would have been with a Democrat candidate who wasn't so odious. Obama won by a margin of 93-6 in 2012.

God bless the Black people who think independently - even those who are merely contrarian - and refuse to toe the mandatory line of Leftist support. But there are far too few of them, and although VP Biden has since done his best to retract his remark quoted above, it must be recorded as a classic GAFFE, which is to say, something which is TRUE, but better left unsaid.

This is yet another example of the horrible "cancel culture" that prevails on today's left. The man says something that is not terribly controversial, and then has to give himself a figurative hernia trying to take it back because of the army of critics whose whole reason for existence seems to be finding things to whine about.

BIden was right. For once.

One could almost interpret his comment about Hispanics being "diverse", as a tacit admission that many of them will vote for Trump. At the same time, he's under the false impression that blacks will monolithically vote for Democrats, which is a continuously-perpetrated fallacy among the Democrats.

That just shows how out of touch the Democrats really are. What he blurted out is a racist stereotype, and nothing could be further from the truth.

 

[007]

Imagine for one second, had president Trump said this... the democrat propaganda wing talking heads would have their hair on fire and blood shooting out of their eyes.

Just one more example in a long, long, LONG list of passes the hypocritical double standard democrat left gives to it's own trash.

Another spin to support Donald Trump. It's clear that that African American's born in the US have been here for generations, many descendants of slaves. Latinos and Latinas have come from S. and Central America in more recent times and come from a diverse number of countries with different traditions. Biden's statement wouldn't have made anything out of the ordinary if he contrasted those with Irish traditions with those of French or German Traditions.

This thread is one more example of the despair of Trump supporters, who know Trump's divisive and racist rhetoric, both covert and overt, is a handicap, thus making hay our of thin air; one more effort to convince those men and women of color he called rapists, murderers, looters or welfare queens to get their vote.

the op ended with the statement,


"Biden was right. for once"


and i concur.


you are delusional.

It’s more than just whom they vote for. Black people accuse their own of not being black when they deviate from the consensus of the black majority. You have to believe you’re a Victim and whites are oppressing you otherwise you’re a coon or an Uncle Tom. Having said that it was beyond stupid for Biden to say what he did.

Of course you cannot quote a single example of Trump saying anything that can reasonably be construed as racist.

You merely believe he said racist things because your feeble TDS addled mind has been brainwashed into believing he did.

Biden on the other hand, has a long track record of publicly spewing racist rhetoric.

I dont see the problem with what he said. Most African americans hold the same beliefs while Latinos range from being european to African. By contrast Latinos are very diverse.

Biden would have been knocked out many times by a black person from his comments over the years.

So race or ethnicity is what determines everyone’s beliefs?

Proving Drumpf is a racist fuckup isnt a concession. Its a known fact which is why you have no response other than to weakly try to claim victory.
