Diversity Among Black People

Yesterday Joe Biden told the TV cameras that black people don't have the diversity of Hispanics. It was never his intention, I am sure, to insult black people or to toot a racist dog-whistle. It's just that he can't talk sensibly off the cuff. He's aged out. He needs a script to read.

Some black people, as you know, are Hispanic.

The problem is that Biden's cognitive gears are jamming, and he is about to be elected President during a pandemic and a huge economic downturn. Or Biden might even lose the election because his cognitive deficits during debates turn off voters. 

What the Harvard lads currently dominating the Democratic Party ought to do is get Biden to withdraw and free his delegates. Then nominate a trustworthy DNC employee who is young and competent--perhaps a woman of color. But that won't happen this time around. Maybe in four years.
