Biden: Racism In US Is Institutional, ‘White Man’s Problem’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Racism in America is institutional and it is a “white man’s problem visited on people of color,” Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday, arguing that the way to attack the issue is to defeat President Donald Trump and shame the racists he has emboldened.

Taking aim at incendiary racial appeals by Trump, Biden said in an interview with a small group of reporters that a president’s words can “appeal to the worst damn instincts of human nature,” just as they can move markets or take a nation into war.

Biden is leading his Democratic challengers for the presidential nomination in almost all polls, largely because of the support of black voters who have formed the foundation of his advantage. He has made appealing to black voters central to his candidacy and vowed to make maximizing black and Latino turnout an “overwhelming focus” of his effort. The interview focused largely on racial issues.

The former vice president attributed his support among black voters to the fact that he has a long record of working in their communities — something, he said without being specific, that several of his opponents have not done.

He added that while he would “preferably” select a woman or person or color as his running mate, he is ultimately looking for someone who is “simpatico with what I stand for and what I want to get done.” He said he will not make a commitment on whom he would choose until he is comfortable that they agree on major issues and how to address them.

If Bident really believes that, then he should step down.

Desperate Leftist pivot from the two year fake Russian conspiracy to institutional racism.

This is what a desperate party that has historically played the race card since the very beginning. They just changed who they are racist against.

Now all those Black Slave Owners in Africa can live in peace knowing that by holding their fellow Man as their Slaves is only perfectly acceptable and only Racist if you are white.

“white man’s problem visited on people of color,”...

The only visiting that was done was my pop to the US from Italy in the 1920s. I dont owe them ####.

Nobody does.

In fact, they owe the following people...

The Americans that go back to the revolution or the War of 1812 or WWI or II or whatever war and had the “white privilege” to die so that this country would stay free and that includes blacks and all the other minorities.

Kipling wrote "The White Man's Burden". He is now considered a racist.

What an old bigot! He should be ashamed of himself. And why would any White person vote for such a self-hating person?

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Didn’t anyone read Thomas Sowell’s “The Economics and Politics of Race”?

I am sick and tired of these imbeciles lecturing us.

Remember that he stood idly by while the Obamas drove a wedge between blacks and whites for 8 years.

Racism in America is institutional...gibberish - give one example of "institutional" racism - it's meaningless - unless you want to talk about things like watered-down admissions standards in college for blacks.....
