Joe Biden: "I don't want to make the speech."

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” while addressing the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday.
“We should challenge these students, we should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs in these schools,” the former vice president said when discussing the need to improve America’s education system. “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor you cannot do it, poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

Joe Biden: "I don't want to make the speech."
This is implying that Asian and Latino kids intelligence and talent is in question within his party. Since he had to clarify this message. If it was coming from another source that would've been said.
There were no poor, disadvantaged, or off-color kids around Joe during Joe’s younger formative years at Aaaaaarrrrchmeeeere (Archmere) Academy in Delaware. Lily-white class of 1961.
They just weren’t allowed there at that time. Period.
No wonder that Joe wonders out loud that clean and articulate blacks are “storybook”
——This implying......-—
There is no implication. There is a clear thought process failure. A brain fart.
He was thinking black but uttered poor.In midthought his brain knew the statement was bad and uttered poor rather than racist black.
The statement is evidence of a worn out mind
Poor and white are related? Who knew?
So I guess that means black and rich are also.
He has a problem if he can’t speak any clearer than that. I’ve always wondered what we did to deserve any of these brainiacs from the demon-rat party.
Wasn’t that Harry Reid?
It was Harry Reid:

Well...at least he’s not feeling up young girls, not that we know of.
Biden just assaulted a young girl
Joe has got a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease.
Yeah well, their parents aren’t...
Riddle me this:
I’m sitting in front of the heater, when I was 3. I am trying to copy the logo, which is the name of manufacturer in cursive.
My Mom, inquires what I am doing. Now, I don’t know what words specifically I used but, it was something along the lines of “copying that”
Before I hit kindergarten, I am writing in block and cursive, as well, reading the newspapers and doing multiplication and division.
Heck, I read “Lightfoot and the Deer” before I was in kindergarten.
Now, imagine if my Mom wasn’t so interested in what I was interested in?
My Dad handed me “Khalil Gabrahn” and something about poems.
I didn’t understand the book but, whatever. My dad handed it to me and I read it....
What if he hadn’t been interested in my developing myund?
When my boy Karl was about 4-5, we had to put him in a daycare camp for a few weeks when my wife was overseas. Catholic nuns and whatnot. They took the kids out to walk around the building. The teacher told the kids to be quiet. She pointed to a sign and told them it said “No talking”. My boy piped up and said “No. It says no parking.”
Very early on, my two boys were reading and spelling stuff using the magnetic letters on the refrigerator at my Mom’s house. Some had to be censored, LOL.
Most stupid people think they are intellectuals.
Better yet, he'll eventually screw up and say it. And those early cracker Democrat primaries will love him all the more...
Poverty can foster an attitude of defeat, a belief that one cannot succeed.
The Racism of Low Expectations, as Barbara from Harlem says and as someone before her said, I think.
The entire ball game is something called will.
When the Russians were trying to find a young girl gymnast to compete in the Olympics, did they give them all an athletic test? No way. They gave them a piece of paper with scattered numbers from 1 to 100 and told them to start with one and proceed. Who do you think won?
Only one guess.
Yes, you are right. Olga Korbut. Of course they were all young female gymnasts but only one of them was able to win the gold medal. Because she had the will to find those numbers.
Think about it.
Forget the nature/nurture controversy. Just think the power of the human will.
Narcissism is ubiquitous in politicians.
Use to have fun with those and alphabet soup...
Don’t let there be any doubt that he’s as racist as the day is long. Have you ever heard is “Obama is black but he’s OK” speech. Holy crap. I’m sure YouTube scrubbed all video clips of it days after it came out but it’s a masterpiece. Creepy Uncle Joe is explaining to the constituents that, “Yeah, sure he’s black. But he’s clean...[pregnant pause]...and smart.”
You can’t find the clip anymore of Al “Failed out of divinity and law school” Gore where he’s with President-elect Klinton at a museum in D.C. The curator walks him over to a bunch of busts of the founding fathers and Bubba nearly did a face-palm when the father of the internet asks, “Now who are these people?” while looking straight at the best likeness of Ben Franklin that you’ll ever find (if you’re not prone to carrying $100 bills). YouTube buried that one, too.
In the movie Twins, Danny DeVito parked in a handicapped space. A cop challenged him. DeVito said: "Do I look normal to you?"
So do Maxine,Corey,Elijah Cummings,Al Green and Sheila Jackson Lee seem ordinary to us? Not really.
Dear Joe,
I agree entirely that there are smart people everywhere, and that you can find incredibly bright people in poor inner city neighborhoods.
That said, the same is true for ‘pedigree’. There are plenty of untalented graduates and faculty at Harvard, Princeton, Yale etc., and plenty of truly unimpressive and incompetent people walking the halls of Congress. One could easily find people all over the country who are ‘just as bright’, or more, than the people who populate public office.
I doubt, however, that you would be capable or willing to admit or embrace this - considering that your whole self-concept (and that or so many in public office) is predicated on an erroneous belief in ‘superiority’ over those who aren’t part of the DC power structure.
If you are sincere in what you said about ‘poor kids’ being just as bright as anyone else, you need to also admit that the American public, including those who don’t vote for you or your party, are also just as bright as any of your donors, supporters, or colleagues. Put another way, you can’t sincerely be for the eradication of ‘some’ prejudicial stereotypes while turning a blind eye to others.
