Trump deleted his tweet about the Black Vote.
He doesn't have a problem with how racist it is, but he did realize how much he was going to be made fun of for mixing up "there" and "their."
Being made fun of is the only thing that bothers him. pic.twitter.com/VfqJPOirk2— JRehling (@JRehling) August 7, 2020
Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith—not by identity, not on issues, not at all.

Throughout my career I've witnessed the diversity of thought, background, and sentiment within the African American community. It's this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 7, 2020
My commitment to you is this: I will always listen, I will never stop fighting for the African American community and I will never stop fighting for a more equitable future.
