JOE Biden has declared he “should not have been so cavalier” on Friday when he told a prominent black radio host that African Americans who back President Donald Trump “ain’t black”.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee quickly moved to address the fallout from his remark.

In a call with the US Black Chamber of Commerce, added to his initial public schedule, Biden said he would never “take the African American community for granted”.

That was an acknowledgement of the stinging criticism he received in response to his comments, which he made on The Breakfast Club, a radio programme that is popular in the black community.

The rebukes spanned from allies of Trump’s re-election campaign to some black activists, who warned that Biden still must court black votes, even if African Americans do overwhelmingly oppose the president.

A Biden aide had sought to end the interview.
