If Obama had made a stupid meme dressed as the pope, “Christians” would have burned the White House to the ground, it would have literally started a war. Its absolutely INSANE to me how much this man gets away with. He’s right, you really can do anything when you’re rich.
I think with Biden they would have been pissed and took to the internet and Fox News about it, but the pure hatered for Obama was something that people are very easily forgetting these days. People legitimately believed he was the Anti-Christ and a Muslim. They would have actually rioted in the streets.
Sure I get that loads of people really hated Obama for lots of reasons. I sincerely don’t think this is a racial thing though: it’s a tribal thing, us vs them. Republicans are perceived as being on the side of Christianity (us) so they are given a lot more leeway in these matters, where Democrats (them) are the enemy of Christianity and every slight however small must be countered in the strongest possible terms (see: ‘the war on Christmas’ and other stupid shit.)
Would the outrage have been greater if it was Obama instead of Biden? Absolutely, I’m not questioning that at all. I’m just saying don’t think there wouldn’t be outrage against Biden just because he’s not black.

It is white piece of human shit privilege.
Iono about the white part, Biden couldn’t have pulled that off either.
