They will then ask what Biden/the dems have done for black people

And we can start with this very article right here.

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump then you ain't black."

Joe Biden

It's a sharp contrast to President Donald Trump, who has made little effort to unite the country and leaned heavily on “law and order” rhetoric.

'Law and order' under Trump means protecting 'the suburbs' and suburban 'property values', a dog-whistle to his white nationalist base.

Under Trump' law and order' means if you come from his wealth caste, support his politics, and are from his ethnic group the laws don't apply. (see Roger Stone)

'Law and order' under Trump means the US Department of Justice exists to defend Trump personally (see DOJ defends Trump in sexual assault allegation - from the 1990s, long before his election), not uphold the US Constitution.

The US Constitution throughout history, prior to Trump, had been the base of the US legal system.

The Trump/barr coup is undermining the republic and the Constitution on which it's based. Xi and Putin are smiling.

What the GOP has done for blacks, and still doing to this day.

Southern Strategy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.

As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party. It also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right.

"I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

Every day here, I've received snailmail from both sides. The TV is full of political advertising.

If from the candidate's people, the ads are either positive or defensive about bogus claims.

If from the the party, the ads are negative and full of fear. Of course, these don't say National Democratic/Republican Party on them. They have some proxy name, but we know from where the money came.

Got a mass-mailing postcard from John Lewis today (he died from cancer a few months ago) that was about voting, doing an absentee ballot request and where to drop off the ballot once completed. Completely non-partisan, other than John Lewis being revered as a Civil Rights activist and Democratic House member before he died.

Russia didn't get Trump elected. Americans went to the polls, completed their ballots, to do that, following the rules known. Trump's team paid more attention to the places where it mattered than Clinton's team left wing did. The country's politics has shifted left the last 4 yrs. The GOP is going to be spanked, I'm afraid. Perhaps they will start listening to all the conservative voices, not just the anti-abortion, pro-gun, people who are loudest.

I hope that every American who is legally allowed and wants to vote, does.

What you all know, but most people don't know. Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things," Biden said.

“poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,”

Biden paused, then added: “Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids — no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

'Law and order' under Trump means protecting 'the suburbs' and suburban 'property values', a dog-whistle to his white nationalist base.

But the Democrats plan to saturate these suburbs to turn them hopefully blue is the appropriate thing to do?

Under Trump' law and order' means if you come from his wealth caste, support his politics, and are from his ethnic group the laws don't apply. (see Roger Stone)

And how do the poorest people usually vote? They tend to vote for the party that can give them the most entitlements.

'Law and order' under Trump means the US Department of Justice exists to defend Trump personally (see DOJ defends Trump in sexual assault allegation - from the 1990s, long before his election), not uphold the US Constitution.

Looking at the almost $3 billion damage caused by Marxists and Antifa not one Democrat cared about the constitution.

The US Constitution throughout history, prior to Trump, had been the base of the US legal system.

And Democrats as well as many in law enforcement stepped all over it and abused it.

The Trump/barr coup is undermining the republic and the Constitution on which it's based. Xi and Putin are smiling.

No, they're closing the books on the establishment criminals that have been abusing the system for years and years and good on them for cracking down aggressively.

Yeah, some guy said he said that in a book. You have a recording of it? No?

Did you see Trump’s tweet where he retweeted dodgy videos from a UK-based racist organization? The the then UK PM was furious. He gave huge publicity to a really ugly group whose leaders ended up in jail.

Horrific stuff.

Which has not one thing to do with Joe Biden or his campaign or his attempt to trick Black people into voting for him.

It’s how the game is played. Trump tricked lots of people into voting for him by saying he’d get rid of the debt, throw out all illegal immigrants, build a wall which Mexico would pay for, give great healthcare at a fraction of the cost etc.

Plenty of people, regardless of skin colour ( but mostly white ), fell for that nonsense.

You seem to be saying black people need to be tricked into voting.

Blacks overwhelmingly vote Democrat and I am just trying to find out how they've bettered their lives and how Blacks have prospered under them, I haven't seen it though...

If there were a recording you’d just say it was taken out of context, it wasn’t what he really meant etc as you’ve done with all the other reprehensible comments on tape.
