This is what he stated when challenged by journalists regarding his comments defending his past actions.

What an out-of-touch and insensitive man he is. Surely, the Obama halo effect can't be that strong when it comes to his high polling numbers.

Obama didn't promote segregation. And as for Biden, this is why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders in the primary.

I'm referring to his supposedly high polling numbers. The only explanation could be the fact that he was Obama's VP.

He's even worse than Hillary.

Well, okay then. My bad.

Former President Obama might have been a hit with me, but Joe Biden is not a hit with me. Hilary Clinton was not a hit with me. I also have a disgust for President Trump. I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Primary. When Sanders lost, I did the only thing I know how to do. I voted for Gary Johnson. I am going to vote in the 2020 Primary. I'm voting for Bernie Sanders.

Joe Biden was against school desegregation. He wanted to continue the practice of preventing Black children from attending certain tax payer supported schools solely because they were Black. It's fascinating at how some Blacks make excuses for him on this now.


Of course the vast majority of African Americans in jail these days, are there due to the crime bill that he authored in 1994. He refuses to apologize for it now because it's claim that our inner cities are much better off these days because of it.

No, he wasn't against desegregation. He was against FORCED BUSING as a way to achieve desegregation. As were many people.

The black American in America are the most forgiving out of all ethnic groups in America. This is due to their conservative Christian upbringing. So yes biden will get a pass on this.

I have no problem with "forced" busing. Many people do.

Well, I will give you my perspective. I'm a Christian. I believe in Christ. I understand the importance of forgiveness (although it is something I struggle with alot). I also understand what consequences. Sometimes consequences need to be hammered. You screw up to the extent that Biden has screwed up, I'm not supporting you in office.
