African American (Black) Political Pundit

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Sen. Joe Biden describing Sen. Barack Obama.

AAPPundit: “I guess Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton were not mainstream African Americans, were not articulate, were not bright, were not clean and a were not nice-looking guys,” and forget about Shirley Chisholm or Carol Moseley Braun. I guess African American women do not matter as far as he is concerned, “I mean, Joe Biden’s comments were storybook old school ‘read between the lines’ bigotry, man.” One wonders why he never talked about white candidates being, articulate, bright, and clean. I agree with Oliver Willis who wrote,

“What he said was racist, offensive, and not representing any of the qualities of the Democratic party or America.” I guess there were 2 bombers in the news yesterday, Boston and Joe Biden.
