It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

If the cornpop story is even slightly true (which I believe it is because the leg hair thing was too weird to be made up by a speech writer), then Biden has talked to black people before while he was young, and I guess retained being personable in old age.
Considering he was friends with Strom Thurmond, this clip could've gone a lot worse. Or maybe they cut out the part with the old-timey slurs he probably doesn't remember being offensive.
"You know, I once played Frederick Douglass in a one-woman show that the University of Maryland Diamondback called ‘too confusing to be offensive.'" -Liz Lemon
