The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....responded to Sen. Tim Scott's (R-SC) speech on Wednesday and stated that while he doesn't think the American people are racist, "after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity."
Make up yer mind, Joe...
Host Craig Melvin asked, "He said among other things, America isn't racist. Is it?"
It is or it isn't...
Biden responded, "No, I don't think the American people are racist. But I think after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity."
Joe's got a big but. There's always a big but involved.
He also stated, "I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow and before that slavery has had a cost and we have to deal with it."
