Running against his future colleague, Barack Obama, this is what Biden had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I mean, you\u2019ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that\u2019s a story-book, man.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Later, Obama would release a statement calling out Biden for his statement. \u201cThey were historically inaccurate,\u201d he said. \u201cAfrican-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like most of Biden\u2019s gaffes, the media were quick to move on.

I\u2019m not joking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The media and those in attendance at the event covered for Biden in spectacular fashion, instead claiming that he was \u201ccomplimenting\u201d those of Indian descent for their hard work. On MSNBC, campaign spokeswoman Margaret Aitken said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point Sen. Biden was making is that there has been a vibrant Indian-American community in Delaware for decades. It has primarily been made up of engineers, scientists and physicians, but more recently, middle-class families are moving into Delaware and purchasing family-run small businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u2018You ain\u2019t black\u2019 \u2014 Breakfast Club<\/em><\/strong><strong>, May 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jhcgmwj3NAc&amp;feature=emb_title\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3Djhcgmwj3NAc%26feature%3Demb_title&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1612454709076000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHQjtSIV3Fubwwop2yFZv6fH5pkjQ\">Speaking<\/a> with radio host of the <em>Breakfast Club,&nbsp;<\/em>Charlamagne Tha God, Biden delivered perhaps his most infamous and most blatantly bigoted gaffe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got more questions.
