Joe Biden: ‘Poor Kids Are Just as Bright and Just as Talented as White Kids’

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.”

What about the poor kids who are “clean and articulate” like Obama, Joe?

No they ain’t. They are poor because their parents are dumb and live in democrat cities which deliberately keep them poor so they can demand money from the state and the fed.

This really is one of the most racist things I’ve read. So, all non-whites are poor and are judged against white kids, none of whom are poor? No minorities at all have been successful like those wealthy white people? That is seriously messed up.

In a sane world no minorities not on welfare or here illegally would support the Dems—nor would any whites in Appalachia or other impoverished white areas including parts of the “Rust Belt.” Wildly racist and crushingly patronizing isn’t a good look, Slow Joe.

Not only are there poor white kids, there are several million more whites living under the the federal poverty line in this country than there are blacks (in absolute numbers, rather than population percentages). Yet Bernie and Biden pretend there are no poor whites. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that Asian-Americans are richer than whites; yet somehow certain leftists pretend that all non-whites are impoverished.

This is all just Marxism with different labels, i.e. the bourgeois class that needs to be overthrown has become “whites” and the poor proletariat that must completely take over is now “non-whites” in leftist Newspeak. The problem for the left is the new labels don’t actually match.

Oh geez... all minorities are poor and all whites aren’t!! I guess we didn’t get the memo when I was a kid. I actually didn’t have to use those damned food stamps that embarrassed me so much and we didn’t have to live in HUD housing. Wish I had known that...

We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor you cannot do it

Yes, you do “have that notion”

But we don’t

The Greatest Generation didn’t “have that ‘notion’” either

I wonder if his gaffs are due to his brain being distracted from thinking about his next cop-a-feel. Was there a 10 year old in the room?

It’s worth reminding younger people that it isn’t age causing Biden to make gaffes like this, he’s always been a buffoon.

That statement wasn’t a gaffe, it is right out of the Dems playbook. White = bad, deplorable, evil and on and on.

From a 74 year old guy with 60 IQ.

Only in Joe’s mind does this make sense.

If Trump had said this, why it would be 24/7 media outrage for the next two weeks at a minimum. CNN would be holding "Town Halls" featuring single black women in tears over the president's "very cruel and racist statement."

You KNOW that would be the case. Yet radio silence when Biden says it.

The only solution is to cut your cable and tune all mainstream media out. They are enemies of America and they will NEVER be on our side.

Is SloJoe saying there are no POOR WHITE KIDS? What a looney tune this old white guy is........The entire 2020 election will be about racism and down with whitey, even coming from the white pols. POLITICAL SUICIDE FOR THE RAT PARTY. Can you imagine Hubert Horatio Humphrey, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy rolling over in their graves?!?!?!?

The left uses comments like this...

The left engages with another strawman. His writers choose at least these words carefully.
