Charlamagne tha god came out swinging a day after Joe Biden dropped a racist remark about Black voters during their short Skype interview.
Biden, 77, sparked outrage when he told Charlamagne “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.”
The humiliated radio host told CNN that Biden’s statement was part of his track record with Black voters, that includes his crime bill and the war on drugs that decimated Black communities.
The radio host blamed “systemic racism” in healthcare as the reason the coronavirus hit Black people hardest during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Like I said before if you have created legislation that has hurt then you have to create legislation that helps, it’s just that simple. The whole system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt and he has been a very intricate part of that system.”
Charlamagne added:
“Whether you’re talking about ’84 with the mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, when you talk about ’86 with crack laws that gave you more [prison] time for crack cocaine and powder cocaine, or if you talk about the ’94 crime bill. He really was one of the people on the front lines when it came to the war on drugs, and mass incarceration. If he wants to be president, he needs to fix that.”
