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.”

“Asian and Latino Coalition”

Oh no, they’re trying to hook them up together?

Orientals are not the same as Latinos, never mind blacks.

They work, mind their own business, and don’t go around flouting the law.

I have no idea why they are choosing more the Dem side. Except someone is playing the violins to them about how whitey wants to stick it to them.

Latinos = Western

Asians = NON Western. Why should you be surprised that they are as Democratic as the Latinos (though neither are as Dem as the black folk)

Boomer whites have a fetish for Asian immigrants and their childrenwithout actually getting to know them.

Joe has got a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease.


He does. He is very inarticulate.

However, his intended point has validity. He would never admit the reason it is valid. We (our nation) have allowed the democrat party to support a wicked and failed culture in the inner-city that prevents and has prevented children from reaching their potential. A child born to a single mother in inner-city Baltimore will be “provided for” by taxpayers and statistically stand little chance escaping abject poverty and crime. They are stuck in a vicious cycle. Pawns in a sick game.

I wish we would have a national conversation about it. These children do have lots of potential, but the odds are it will never be realized in the failed welfare state. That is a tragedy any way you look at it. Just my .02 and I am tired of being told I have no voice about it because of “race.” They are children. Period. American children. They live in a drug and rat infested war zone in our own nation and we send them to the worst of public schools that we spend a fortune on.

Why?

My answer - politics. It has nothing to do with race. That is the excuse and a convenient crutch. There are American children of all races stuck in this cycle of abject failure in both the inner-city and in rural America.

I believe we all have a vested interest in these children and if the “system” is failing them we must change the system. Welfare has become a way of life for too many - it is not a “hand up”. It is a hand that pushes them down and keeps them there when we allow it.

They have told us for decades the answer is more money, more union teachers, more union social workers, more government housing, more more more government. That is Joe’s only answer... it is all the left has given us when all of this government enables the cycle of failure. Joe’s second answer for those of us who do care and want to try something new is that we are “racists” for not providing more government.

There are many facets to this failure, but there is no doubt that government is what enables the vicious cycle to continue. We (all Americans) should demand that the cycle is broken.

Democrat voters attending the Iowa State fair are not impressed by the field of Democrat 2020 Candidates for POTUS. The boring, incompetent, field of Democrat Candidates is getting much more attention from the Media (Reporters & Photographers) than any large crowds of supporters...period!!! Boring is the best way to describe them.

As for POTUS, Trump, according to PBS...Trump owns the state...period!!!

Only a “racist at heart” would make a so-called gaffe like Biden’s.

Solid proof that Biden equates “poor kids with “blacks.”

Will these people never wake up to who the real racists are? This was not a gaffe. This is what he truly thinks.

It Turns Out Joe Biden Is Still A Never-Ending Gaffe Machine

If Biden doesn’t tighten up his mental composure quick, more and more Democrats will wonder if he’s worth the risk

The exact same words spoken by Trump would be given a completely opposite meaning, and would be condemned as racist and White supremacist.

I’d like to see Trump say the exact words spoken by bammy or hillary. Within minutes they would be all over the media but framed as racist.

Poor kids can be just as clean and articulate as white kids.
