"A generation ago"? Maybe a generation long ago.

Joe Biden launches new national ad aimed at Black Americans

This is almost as inexplicable as Nixon's gang burglarizing the Watergate hotel.

It's not like black Americans aren't going to turn out for him absent unnecessarily incendiary nonsense about race.

Joe Biden’s Democratic presidential campaign has launched a new national ad focused on Black Americans, urging them to stand up to President Donald Trump the way their ancestors stood up to “violent racists of a generation ago.”

That would be maybe 20 years ago at the outside.

So, the year of Bush the Younger's first election victory?

Big year for struggle against horrific racist oppression, that?

Of course, the "struggle" this year - months of riots apparently by mostly white kids with far too little to do, thanks to the virus - has not been against anything worse, has it?

“We must choose to fight for that better America,” the narrator states. 

“And just like our ancestors who stood up to the violent racists of a generation ago, we will stand up to this president and say, ‘No more,’ because America is better than him. 

"So we choose to be bigger. We choose to be bolder. We choose to bring back justice, respect and dignity to this country. 

"We choose Joe Biden to lead us all towards that American promise together.”
