Oh wow, really got me there. "Well?? How about it??" like bro calm down, you think you're some sort of genius when you're onto very little.
Firstly, I've never been huge on Biden. So, not sure if you think I'm gonna fall to my knees and burst into tears because you "got me". Unlike Republicans, we don't blindly circlejerk whoever's leading our parties.
Secondly, you're saying because someone else said something racist, that means you're off the hook? That ain't how it works bro.
Thirdly, he says "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you're not black." To a black interviewer. I doubt that was ever meant to come off as racist, because why on EARTH would say that to a black interviewer who was with a black journalist organization? I'm not sure what he was trying to say but it was clearly some sort of joke that backfired. Besides, the right constantly perpetuate the idea that he's senile and/or has dementia, so which is it? Is he consciously racist and cognitive, or is he senile and blurting out random words? You CANT have it both ways.
Fourthly, Biden never called a black person a primate, which is certainly worse than his failed joke about voters not being black. As a black man myself, I'd much rather roll my eyes at Biden's crappy statement than have a white guy call me a monkey. Is it that hard to wrap your head around?

Joe Biden said he “shouldn’t have been such a wise guy” on Friday hours after he told a popular African American radio host that anyone struggling to decide whether to support him or President Donald Trump in the general election “ain’t black.”
The presumptive Democratic nominee’s comment came at the end of an at times tense interview with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.”
A staffer interjected that Biden needed to go, and Charlamagne shot back: “You can’t do that to black media!”
“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden said, referring to his wife Jill Biden apparently needing to use the broadcast studio they’ve built in their basement in Delaware as the coronavirus pandemic has knocked Biden off the campaign trail. Glancing at his watch, Biden said, “uh oh, I’m in trouble.”
Charlamagne told Biden that he should come to the studio in New York City for another interview, telling the former vice president that “we’ve got more questions.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “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 responded, “It don’t have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact, I want something for my community.”
“Take a look at my record, man!” Biden shot back.

No, that's not what you said. This is what you said and I responded with proof:
"Thirdly, he says "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you're not black." To a black interviewer. I doubt that was ever meant to come off as racist, because why on EARTH would say that to a black interviewer who was with a black journalist organization?" And I responded:
Joe Biden said he “shouldn’t have been such a wise guy” on Friday hours after he told a popular African American radio host that anyone struggling to decide whether to support him or President Donald Trump in the general election “ain’t black.”
So, no, that's not what you said, so please, don't be a Kamala Harris and backtrack what you say

So you are confirming that it was just a bad joke? Biden saying he regrets being "a wise guy" infers he shouldn't have been joking around.
