President Joe Biden recently spent time with a black father and his two sons, as shown in a video shared on his official X account.
However, this encounter received significant criticism and disapproval from various quarters.
“It’s great to spend time with Christian and Carter and discuss their involvement in their community and school,” Biden posted online.

A number of X users, however, observed that Biden’s efforts seemed to be blatant pandering to black voters, who, as indicated by multiple recent surveys, are increasingly turning away from him.
“Here’s Joe Biden again pandering to the black community,” conservative commentator Paul A. Syzpula wrote in response to the video, in which he included a clip of Biden, the 2020 candidate, telling Charlamagne Tha God that if African-Americans didn’t vote for him, “they ain’t black.”
“Americans are sick of this division.
“Black people make up 13% of the population yet almost 100% of Biden’s recent campaign videos.
“Remember what Biden said about blacks who don’t vote for him?”
Some individuals proposed that the selection of food by the Biden team, specifically fried chicken fingers for his black hosts, was deemed as an unsuitable form of stereotyping.
Lmao I want to meet the Biden staffer who woke up and said “uh, today is black outreach day. Quick. Let’s order fried chicken.”
??? insane.
