In all sincerity, the question I would have for any black American considering voting for Joe Biden and his diverse sidekick is: how could you not be offended?
Literally, all the Democrat Party thinks it needs to lure black voters back on the plantation is a hint of melanin and a put-on ebonics accent.

One might recall Hillary Clinton appearing on urban radio back in 2016 to disclose that she carries hot sauce in her purse at all times — as if she and not the staffers who haven’t Epsteined themselves yet carry anything by themselves.Taraji P. Henson hosted the BET Awards this year, and she brought the show a bunch of scathing political commentary…
Henson would offer more commentary later, this time together with Vice President Kamala Harris, in a skit where the The Color Purple star Facetimed the VP with her concerns about the upcoming election. “Madame VP Harris, I’m worried about the election. Women’s reproductive rights are on the line, our Supreme Court is on the line, our basic freedoms are being tested,” Henson says in the bit, which played during a commercial break about a third of the way through the broadcast…
“You’re right Taraji,” Harris can be seen saying. “There is so much at stake in this moment. The majority of us believe in freedom and equality, but these extremists, as they say, they not like us,” Harris continued, referencing Lamar’s track.”

Similarly, Sandy Ocasio from the suburbs called herself Sandy Ocasio until rebranding as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sometime in the prior decade and becoming an ardent Social Justice™ activist and Democrat operative. She went from Sandy from the suburbs to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (heavy Latin-sounding accent on the vowels) virtually overnight.Has hot sauce ever mattered this much in an election? Earlier this week, during the run-up to the New York Democratic primary, the condiment became part of a minor controversy involving Hillary Clinton. In an interview with the hip-hop morning show “The Breakfast Club” on urban radio station Power 105.1, an interviewer asked Clinton about items she always carried with her. Clinton’s answer was immediate. “Hot sauce,” she said.
On a radio station targeted towards black people with music that most would consider connected to black culture, Clinton’s comments looked for all the world like a textbook attempt at pandering from a campaign that has long been accused by young black people of doing just that.
Here she is magically morphing once again from Latina firebrand into a bona fide MLK Jr.-type orator on the House floor, shucking and jiving in righteous indignation at something about White Supremacy™ or whatever.
This is exactly why AOC’s approval rating is lower than Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris

Again, I can’t imagine that any of this is remotely appealing to actual black or Latina voters. The schtick is so transparent as to be parody itself; don’t these people have access to acting coaches? Don’t they have literal rosters full of staffers to give them advice? How in the bubble does Harris have to be to believe that her “in the streets” routine is going to come off as anything other than the grossest pandering possible?
