Joe Biden Regrets 'You Ain't Black': Shouldn't Have Been Such a Wise Guy

Former Vice President Joe Biden expressed regret Friday for decreeing that African-Americans aren’t really black if they have trouble deciding to support him over President Donald Trump, saying he’s “never” taken the black community’s vote for granted and “shouldn’t have been such a wise guy.”.

I’ve never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted,” Biden said during a call with black business leaders, according to CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe.

Earlier Friday, Biden declared that if black Americans cannot decide whether to back him over President Trump, “then you ain’t black.”.

“As Biden said in our brief interview when I asked him if Dems owe the black community ABSOLUTELY was his answer.

“Vice President Biden spent his career fighting alongside and for the African American community.

“I thought to myself, as an African American, been black for 54 years, I was struck by the condescension and the arrogance in his comments,” Scott said during a conference call with the Trump campaign
