(CNN) -- Vice President Joe Biden has been the topic of much discussion this past week as to whether he was playing racial politics in what has become the "chains speech" in Danville, Virginia. Commentators, political pundits, politicians and academics have weighed in. But through all of the hoopla, it is important to probe the statement that preceded Biden saying to the audience at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research: "They're going to put y'all back in chains." Here is Biden's full statement from the speech: "(Mitt) Romney wants to let -- he said in the first hundred days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. 'Unchain Wall Street.' They're going to put y'all back in chains."

Roland Martin: In context Biden's "chains" comments make sense, are about banking industry
@highlight
He says out-of-control banks caused housing collapse, took bailout money from taxpayers
@highlight
He says Romney will continue business as usual with financial industry, opposes controls

Martin: Wall Street doesn't care about U.S. consumers, except to keep them shackled in debt
So we should recognize Romney's recipe of ideas as a disaster for consumers and a boon for @placeholder.
