In reply to the discussion: Biden's answer on 'repairing the legacy of slavery' and 'inequality in schools and race' [View all]brush
(54,212 posts)now a dichotomy in the once solid black block of votes. That no longer exists as many GenXers and Millennials have issues with many stances Biden has taken over a long career (busing, the crime bill, the Anita Hill witnesses denial, the seemly fond reminiscences of working with segregationists, the jumbled response to the debate reparations question).
Older African Americans support Biden but many younger ones just don't. That's the reality of the now, non-monolithic black vote.
Don't get angry, just be aware of what's happening and if you have any connection to the Biden campaign use this information to inform him that many younger AA voters need to hear more modern views and even a more current lexicon in verbiageI mean "record player"? That just doesn't work.
Symone Sanders is on his staff so perhaps she's the one to reach out to.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
