17. The Root and Jezebel are claiming Biden's faking a "blaccent" because he said "man" a lot

during the interview. Last night on Colbert's show the first words out of his mouth were "Hey, man." He says "man" a lot. How do they not know this?

Same people lost their minds about Hillary "pandering" by saying she had hot sauce in her purse while on the same show, when all they had to do is Google it to find out she's been a hot sauce fan since 1992 and does indeed carry some wherever she goes.

And the sentence: if you can't figure out the difference between him and Trump, "then you ain't black."

Same thing lots of people have said, like in Steve Almond's book "Bad Stories" when he writes about a young friend who's transformed from politically knowledgable into believing conspiracies and that both candidates where the same because of anti-Democratic propaganda on the internet:

"The conservative movement fosters this false equivalence, which breeds apathy and depresses turnout. 'A vote for hillary is a vote for trump,' Jon wrote a few weeks before the election, which is how you know he isn't a person of color, or a Muslim, or an immigrant."
