    Biden: Latino community is diverse 'unlike the African American community'

    Curious. African American is a race. Latino is a location of many Spanish speaking countries. I can't imagine why anyone would think there is any similarity at all.

    Nice talking points, but give me the specific policies. Since you claimed his policies, you are talking about that racist crime bill EVERY Republican signed.

    Give me a trend that Trump started.

    I did not take Biden's statement as saying or implying that Blacks are 100 % homogenized.
    Still there are no communities of Zimbabweans, Gold Coasting, Nigerians Congo-see , Gana-see, who trace their linkage from American. True that half of the American slaves came from about 6-7 "countries" - Cameroon, Nigeria, Gambia, Guele -Bissau, Ali, Senagal, Angola, mostly other Newest African countries.

    Yet as I pointed out American Blacks have no significant identity with any one current country in Africa. That is not an insult that is a fact.
    Latinos on the other hand are Peurto Rican ( not even a country), Cuban,
    Mexican, Brazilian/Portuguese, Colombian , Costa Rican, on and on...
    Some of these immigrant groups keep there connection with their source country longer than others. What we call Mexicans are keeping their connection based on history and shear volume. Plus there were Spanish "settlers" in the Southwest who were there way before there was a US.


    As I also pointed out this ancestor DNA testing is now helping Afro-Americans get a better picture of which area most of there DNA source came from. The guy who wrote roots was sort of an exception since obviously his family passed down their history but that is more of an exception than a basic case.

    Eventually we will al hybridized into a mixture of races, source countries, religions, and what have you and yes some day we will all be basic Americans. That will not happen in our lifetime.

    The notion that we are all individuals and part of the joy of the great human experience (holding hands like all The Whos in Whoville) is casually cast aside when elections are on the line for the US Dems.

    Identity politics are the stock in trade.

    Move on. Nothing to see here. :)

    My explanation is not racist it is based on facts. It is not political, not partisan. See my other long post on this topic.

    The recent DNA ancestry testing has lead to people of various source countries find out more about where they likely came from.

    Us Europeans are still closer to our source countries but that is fading. We also are using DNA tests to get closer to our sources. I this because I have in the past bumped to fellow employees, school friends, or neighbors whose grandparents came from somewhere in Eastern Europe and as one neighbor said he was "Austrian". Well until WWI the Austrian-Hungarian Empire contained a multitude of ethnic groups. When I told him what his name meant in Ukrainian he did not want to believe it at first. After several conversations and his telling me about Christmas and Easter traditions his grandparents held on to he finally realized that his lineage was very likely Ukrainian not Austrian. When I told him that my grandfather served in the Austrian Army during WWI but in the Ukrainian division a light went on in his head.

    The point is that Blacks do not group themselves by source country as Latinos still do.

    Good stuff, P1.

    Everybody understands that Biden didn't mean to disparage Latinos..

    Everybody gets that.

    It may have been a poor choice of words, that led to some ambiguity, but this is nothing that will move the needle.

    Latinos are (and Will Stay) solidly for Biden.

    This story is just another thing that won't stick to Teflon Joe.

    And then, Trump will move onto the next faux outrage (in another futile attempt to find something that sticks).

    Biden wasn't talking about looks. He was addressing their culture versus latinos. IMO, it was a very stupid thing to say.

    Racism is a thought process. Not a criminal enterprise.

    Elijah Mohammed believed whites are the product of a brilliant African scientist who mixed human genes with pigs.

    Eldridge Cleaver honored the notion of Black men raping white women as proper revenge.

    In both cases, racist to the core but not dared to be called such so we here crickets from the media.

    All viewpoints even racist ones from ANY group should be welcome in the marketplace of ideas.

    Actually you have it backwards. Biden complimented Hispanics and their diversity of cultures. It is Black Americans Biden lumped into one homogeneous group culturally. That would be an insult to any ones culture including European.

    Just because something might be true, in which I don't believe Biden's statement is true, doesn't mean you should say it. His statement can be taken in many different ways. IMO, what he said should concern Black Americans.

    African American votes are more vital to the US Democrats than Latino votes. The latter tend to be social conservatives and are unreliable as a Democratic base. So Biden can more casually dismiss them.

    From last night. Interesting quote..

    “Joe Biden is unfit to be president and Joe Biden is a racist,” Terrell said. “Joe Biden has the mindset of a plantation owner. He thinks he knows how every black person thinks, how we walk, what we should eat. Joe Biden doesn’t understand that black people are individuals. Condoleezza Rice and Al Sharpton are different individuals. We have a different mindset.”
