Biden Bites Black Hands Feeding Him
Hello, Everybody. I have something to say about Joe Biden.
Vice President Biden, in the last Democratic debate, made some more statements insulting African Americans. People may have missed them because of the attention paid to Biden’s use of the archaic term, “record player.” Here’s what got overlooked. Biden had been asked about the legacy of slavery on African Americans today.
He proceeded to insinuate that black parents don’t know how to raise their kids, that they need help, like from social workers. This, after saying in a previous debate, that he was against busing for school desegregation. And that after saying he worked well with southern Senators, who were staunch segregationists.
Biden’s string of insensitive remarks are deeply concerning to many black Americans, who make up a voting bloc which overwhelmingly supports him for President.
But he had better watch his words when he talks about Black Americans. Being Barack Obama’s vice president won’t be enough for them to forget his many racial slights this year, when it comes time to vote next year.
