Oh no, this is horrible! Quick, someone find out how Ja Rule is coming down on the issue!
When have you heard anyone having main character syndrome been a good thing?
F'ing Christ, it's the presidency not god damn real house wives of DC here dumbass.
I get where this guy is coming from, but for someone so… opinionated, (and I really respect this guy a lot) he can hardly place all of the onus on Biden for his positions, especially as a public figure. And - of particular importance - taking a stand, most often for the right thing, has its costs.
We do what’s best right because it’s the right thing to do, not because we expect a payoff or because we think it’ll make us look good. And if you do, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
Edit: ok… on second thought: maybe it’s his pretty eyes that have bamboozled me into not noticing that this guy is kinda full of shit.
Did you read the article? He said he knows “who he will vote for to preserve democracy” (Biden). It isn’t unpatriotic or foolish to criticize both sides for what you legitimately see.
Honestly, I’ve found some of the dismissal and rage in this thread disturbing. Charlamagne is nowhere near an enemy of Biden, and he was just answering questions that some people around him have been asking.
Setting the precedent that anything less than full throated support of Biden is unacceptable is a slippery slope—Trump supporters want exactly that for their side too. Let people speak their mind, and listen if you want to.
That's his fucking name? Really?
Also surprise surprise on who posted this story. Never would have guessed...
Are you for real? That’s his hip hop name, and he’s a tastemaker in his circles. He actually tried to help Kamala Harris out with her butchered interview on his show 4 years ago, and softened the blow of the audience reaction.
Charlamagne isn’t an enemy of Biden, and he came up with his stage name as a young guy in the streets who was learning about Charlemagne in night school. It was created at a time that he was aspiring for more and had no success under his belt. Making fun of him for it is kind of messed up in my opinion. His name is iconic in hip hop.
Remember when Biden told him he wasn't black? Oof.
And he was pretty forgiving about that comment too—if dems think Charlamagne is to blame for those two awful interviews, then they clearly didn’t watch them. He did what he could to minimize the damage they did to themselves. If anything, him keeping his distance this time is just sparing them the rope they might hang themselves with again.
Nobody gives a shit. How is this even news?
Some people may not like them, but The Breakfast Club has been a source for Political interviews for at least 10 years. They're syndicated in 90 markets and a ton of black people listen in every day. It's one of the few venues to reliably reach black voters which is why politicians keep going back and why this article exists.
Just 8 or 10 more B and C list celebrities and 6 to 10 more middle of the road musical artists or pro sports players and it will be ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that Joe is a giant piece of NPC shit you shouldn't vote for.
