WASHINGTON (CNN) — In what the Washington Post is describing as a "stumble," Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said in an interview with the paper Wednesday that Washington's high minority population is one of the reasons for the city's education problems. Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, "There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? "

It wouldn’t be considered a “stumble”. :)
Look what the made up word “macaca” resulted in.
It amazes me this would be considered a “stumble.” The only way this would be a stumble is if Joe Biden was expected to lie and stumbled by telling the truth. I know we aren’t supposed to say minority students create more trouble, but that is a statistical fact. That does NOT mean all minority students are bad (of course). It only means they have a higher rate of problems in school. A thoughtful and reasonable adult would search for the truth and attempt to discern the causes, but that is a rare thing indeed for our political class.
Did he accidently stumble upon the truth?
If GOPers were on the ball they’d demand he resign.
Well of course it’s the truth now that Biden has said it. If any conservative or Republican said the same thing they would have to immediately apologize and defend allegations of being a racist for the rest of their lives.
Not to mention, many on FR would be saying how dumb it was politically...
Do you mean they aren’t clean and articulate, Joe?
“macaca” was an actual Portuguese word, but I get your point.
Blacks in Washington are more or less welfare plantation serfs. The D.C. school system is a jobs program for loyal black capos. The kids and education are just props.
It’s not about learning; it’s about the money.
Anyone who doesn’t want the effects of the DC racket can get on a bus and get. They don’t. Therefore they must be satisfied, or compensated. The Democrats have always known the price of slaving, they now just use adult blacks as their intermediaries.
OMG, a MACACA moment!!
OMG - he did NOT say that............I am HOWLING with laughter!
Actually a little over 2%, but who’s counting?
An apocalyptic explosion by the DBM, consisting of 24/7 news coverage condemning the entire GOP of racism.
It was only *yesterday* that the Congressional Black Caucus promised that Democrats would suffer “consequences” at the ballot box (try to not laugh) for confirming federal Judge Southwick.
The reality, of course, is that Biden can say racist things...Democratic Senators can confirm whomever they want...and a super-majority of Blacks are going to listen to lilly-White Hillary over Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Forget that the KKK was founded by Democrats. Forget that the Democratic Party fought to keep slavery. Forget that Bull Conner and George Wallace were Democrats. Forget that Senator Al Gore Sr. filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Forget that abortion is devastating Black communities...that illegal immigration is putting Blacks out of work...
...because of two things:
1. the news media’s repetition of stereotypes and myths, and
2. the GOP’s opposition to Affirmative Action.
Due to those two things, 80% (or more!) of Blacks are going to vote for lilly-White, homosexual, baby-killing feminists who oppose school choice vouchers for inner city children who are trapped in the worst public schools in the U.S.
Monday night, for instance, James Carville told me to my face that Blacks are going to vote for Hillary over “Obomba.”
Not “Obama” (which would be correct as well as contain an Alabama pun since he was in ‘Bama), but “Obomba” pronounced “Oh Bomb a”
So Watson (DNA-noble lauriate) says something racist is called out and leaves his job, and Biden says essentially the same thing and “stumbles” on his way back to collect his Senatorial paycheck and continuing running for the Presidency.
Real objective MSM.
stick a fork in joe!!!
Where’s the problem... good ol’ Joe is a Dhimmicrat!
