... And it's not only because of blacks.
This country is doomed. It's doomed, not just because of African-Americans, but because by 2040, this country is going to be minority white-European. You hear me? And you guys are going to have to start workinwith Hispanics. Who make up a larger portion of population than y'all do!
- Joe Biden
Around 1: 14: 20.
During the clip in question, Biden says:
"If we cannot make significant progress on racial equity, this country is doomed. It's doomed not just because of African Americans, but because by 2040, this country is going to be minority white European. You hear me? ... And you guys are going to have to starting working more with Hispanics."
He goes on to say it will be the "single most diverse democracy in American history" and that they need to figure out how to unify the country.
Sounds bites from a leaked Zoom meeting between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and several high profile civil rights leaders have been circulating on social media, but a specific half quote is especially shocking.

The whole clip is linked in the OP. How the hello can you say that an hour of video is out of context.
Even taking the quote by itself is hardly out of context. You add those pieces of text as if it changes anything in what he said - it doesn't.

An hour of video is out of context? That's some grand context you have there.
I am sure a white tax would do the unification. These are the type of ideas these people have.
I took out the "out of context" part. Sorry.
But to me, the important part is "
strive for racial equity" OR we're doomed. Not that white Europeans being a minority is the knell of doom to all. He's thinking like an old politician, thinking about the Democratic party base. That is who he sees as doomed, not the white race or America. They lost some of their Hispanc support this election, and for some reason he thinks the black coalition can bring them back.
Insted of blacks just pushing black causes and Hispanics just looking out for their own, Joe seems to want everyone working together for an agenda that will be good for everyone, white, black, brown.
