The NAACP on Friday pushed back at former Vice President Joe Biden's claim that civil rights organization endorsed him 'every time I've run.'
NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson addressed Biden's comments in an official press release that said the organization doesn't endorse political candidates.
'We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse candidates for political office at any level,' wrote Johnson.
Biden claimed that the NAACP has supported him each time he's run for office in an attempt to prove his consistency in supporting the black community.
'Take a look at my record. I extended the Voting Rights Act for 25 years. I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP’s endorsed me every time I’ve run,' said Biden.
'Take a look at the record.'
EDITOR'S NOTE: And the record shows that the White Obama is a fucking liar!

Now Joe Biden’s defining ‘black’ for African Americans
By Post Editorial Board
New York Post

Well, here’s yet another Joe Biden appearance that backfired: The would-be prez just told a popular black radio host to stop asking pesky questions — because any African American who votes for President Trump this November “ain’t black.”
There he Joes again.
For starters, “The Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne tha God was specifically pushing the candidate not to take black voters for granted in much of the 18-minute interview, challenging the ex-veep over his record on racial issues and his consideration of a black, female running mate.
Then a Biden aide tried to cut the interview short. “You can’t do that to black media!” Charlamagne complained.
“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden snapped back, apparently referring to a planned media appearance by Jill Biden.
“Listen, you’ve got to come see us when you come to New York, Vice President Biden,” Charlamagne said. “It’s a long way until November. We’ve got more questions.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden responded. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Charlamagne was quick to reply, “It don’t have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact that I want something for my community.”
The host amplified later to Mediaite: “We have been loyal to Democrats for a long time. Black people have invested a lot into that party, and the return on investment has not been great.”
And: “Let’s see what you got!!! Votes are Quid Pro Quo. You can’t possibly want me to Fear Trump MORE than I want something for my people.”
For the record, a black voter could have plenty of reasons to prefer Trump — his term brought record low African American unemployment, for starters. And religious people increasingly find the Democratic Party hostile to their views.
Biden apologized later in the day, but his reaction is still telling. He reflexively demands lockstep support and even insists that voting for Democrats is part of what defines “black.”
It doesn’t get more arrogant.

Charlamagne tha God slams Joe Biden's record with African Americans after the Democrat's 'ain't black' gaffe and says his 1994 crime bill was a 'very intricate' part of 'systemic racism'

Radio host Charlamagne tha God issued a scathing rebuke to former Vice President Joe Biden following the presidential candidate's gaffe about black voters.
Charlamagne condemned Biden's track record with black voters, stating that the former vice president was a 'very intricate' part of the 'systemic racism' that needs to be 'dismantled.'
'My overall takeaway from the conversation is that I heard him talk about things he did for black people back in the day but what have you done for me lately is my motto,' the radio host explained to CNN on Friday.
'I see Black communities catching hell no matter who is in the White House.'
Charlamagne was angered that people talked about how the coronavirus was devastating the black community but failed to talk about 'health issues stemming from systemic racism that has never been fixed.'
The radio host then turned his critique directly to Biden.
'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,' Charlamagne continued. 'The whole system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt and he has been a very intricate part of that system.
'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 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.'
Among those who criticized Biden for what he said was Diddy, tweeting, 'Aye bruh @JoeBiden I already told you the #BlackVoteAintFree.'
EDITOR'S NOTE: A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found Biden with 81% support among black voters to Trump's 3%.
