"You ain't black" is a phrase used by current President of the United States Joe Biden, who was at the time the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party during the 2020 United States presidential election, in an interview on the radio show The Breakfast Club that aired on May 22, 2020. Co-host Lenard McKelvey (better known as Charlamagne tha God), an African American, was interviewing Biden, who prefaced their conversation with "I want to talk to you about mostly black stuff." The two discussed how the African American community was disproportionately affected by ongoing issues such as police brutality and the COVID-19 pandemic. McKelvey also expressed his belief that "Democrats take black voters for granted," and asked Biden if he believed that "black people are owed [information regarding how candidates plan to help them] from the Democratic Party," to which Biden responded "absolutely," before boasting that he "kicked everybody's ass" in the Democratic primaries, "won every single country" in South Carolina, and "won a larger share of the black vote than anybody has, including Barack."

As the interview began to wrap up, McKelvey said, "Listen, you gotta come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden. It's a long way until November. We got more questions," to which Biden responded, "You got more questions, but I tell you: If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
