I have asked this question before, I am asking again after I ran across this in one of the black publications that I read each day.
First, where the hell is Joe Biden?
Secondly, what the hell is he waiting for to select a black woman as a running mate?
I have heard all kinds of malarky comments about the need to vet white women and other women in order to come up with not just a good Vice President but the best female candidate.
Wait just a minute, with all due respects to Senators Elizabeth Warren, and Tammy Duckworth, with all of the deference to Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, were they in South Carolina to save Joe Biden’s sorry weak and indecisive ass when he was about to be tossed out of politics like the previous times he was rejected by Democratic voters?
No, it was Black women who reached down and pulled his sorry behind up, Potentially making him something he has never been, that is a national leader.
Some people are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them.
Joe Biden was never great, at best he has been vanilla ice cream, the kind you revert to with a sigh after discovering that the chocolate swirl is all gone and the rum & raisin box only has ice particles left in it.
In fact, we are talking about Joe Biden today because of a (chocolate swirl) named Barack Obama who elevated him from Delaware level obscurity to international prominence.
On that alone, Joe Biden should have already selected a black woman as his running mate. (How about you start off by repaying the damn favor)?
When you consider the fact that Joe Biden’s sorry ass was done before Black women reached down and plucked his defeated listless behind out of humiliation, someone please explain to me what is there for Joe Biden to think about. What is taking this dimwit this long to select a black woman as his running mate
In a more just world, Joe Biden wouldn’t even qualify to be on the VP shortlist of any of those black women as presidential candidates.
Now Joe Biden is acting as if he would be doing the black community a huge favor if he chooses a black woman. Selecting a black woman, all of whom are eminently more qualified than he is to be president of the United States of America is a must for dimwit old Joe.
When asked why she removed herself from consideration Minnesota’s US Senator, and former presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, stated that she believes that the pick should be a black woman.
What is Joe Biden doing acting as if he wants to be begged to pick a black woman? Is it so that when he throws this election away he will have a scapegoat to blame?
I am way to mad to continue, so I’ll defer to the great StephenA. Crockett Jr

100 Black Entertainers and Celebrities Send Letter to Biden Urging Him to Pick Black Woman as VP. Biden Is Going to Mess This Up
By Stephen A. Crockett.Jr
This wasn’t supposed to be remotely hard; in fact, the groundwork had already been laid down. It works like this: Black women are the backbone of the Democratic party and they needed to be rewarded with a vice-presidential pick in this upcoming election.
And the presumptive Democratic nominee for president still hasn’t made his pick, which has me thinking two things: 1) Joe Biden is going to fuck this up and 2) Joe Biden is going to fuck this up.
I’m not alone in these feelings, as some 100 Black celebrities and leaders have called for Biden to pick a Black woman as his running mate, a decision that was supposed to be made a week ago and as of Aug. 10 still hasn’t been made.
Yahoo news reports:
Entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, radio personality and “The Breakfast Club” co-host Lenard “Charlamagne Tha God” McKelvey, former NFL defensive end Michael Bennett, civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump and many others signed the open letter to Biden.
“As someone who has said throughout the campaign that VP Joe Biden needs to choose a Black woman VP, the urgency for that pick has gone from something that SHOULD happen to something that HAS to happen,” the letter said.
The letter denounced the treatment of some of Biden’s potential picks, including Sen. Kamala Harris over her perceived ambition and her debate attacks on Biden’s civil rights record when she was a rival candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“It disgusts us that Black women are not just being vetted in this VP process but unfairly criticized and scrutinized,” the letter said. “Was Joe Biden ever labeled ‘too ambitious’ because he ran for president three times? … Why does Senator Kamala Harris [D‑Calif.] have to show remorse for questioning Biden’s previous stance on integrated busing during a Democratic primary debate?”
Wait, looking through some of the names of the men that have signed this letter is just as problematic, considering that “Charlamagne Tha God,” frequent doo-doo hat-wearing Nick Cannon, and CNN political contributor and possibly one of Trump’s Blacks Van Jones have all signed.
Managing Editor Genetta Adams: So, I’m confused, because just over the weekend, Nick Cannon endorsed Kanye.
Me: You know who else is confused? Nick Cannon.
Diddy and Charlamagne Tha God have pushed this whole thing of holding the Black vote for ransom, basically claiming that they’d need an agenda of how Biden plans to improve the lives of Black and brown people if he wants the “Black vote,” Black Enterprise reported. But, much like politicians, we don’t hear much from these niggas until election time.
Harris is reportedly leading the pack along with former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice. Other prominent names include Rep. Karen Bass of California, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, USA Today reported. Harris, Rice, Bass, and Demings are Black. And Biden is totally going to fuck this up. Why is he even entertaining these other names when he clearly knows what he needs to do — and what the fuck is taking so long?
