Former President Joe Biden made his first public remarks since leaving the White House, referring to Black children as “colored kids”—a comment that quickly sparked backlash online, including criticism from voices on the left.
On Tuesday, Biden told an anecdote about his childhood migration from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware, in which he remarked that until his family moved to “The First State,” he had “never seen hardly any Black people.”
“I was only going in fourth grade,” Biden stated, as he recalled his mother driving him to Catholic school in Wilmington. “And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called ‘colored kids,’ on a bus go by — they never turned right to go to Claymont High School.”
He went on to say that discovering Black children were banned from attending public schools with White students “sparked my sense of outrage as a kid.”
Meanwhile, many social media users were taken aback by the “colored kids” remark, with one user posting: “Imagine if President Trump referred to Black kids as ‘colored kids.’ The liberals would be fake outraged and they wouldn’t shut up for days. So, who’s the actual racist?”

Biden was certainty ni — I mean to say, parsimonious — with his discourse on Niger
It’s true about the long term memory being sharp but short term is a complete train wreck.
Biden is 80+ years old and demented.
I really don't see a problem with this language.
I remember what may have been Jerry Stiller’s last appearance on Fallon’s show. Anne Meara was there, and maybe Ben. It was obvious that Jerry was losing it. When he noticed, and started talking about the band, The Roots, things got awkward in a big hurry. Everyone was uncomfortable. I don’t think it was a racist thing...just that his (Biden’s) generation has a different perspective on these things. That said, I suspect Brandon harbors some racist tendencies.
the dems keep playing the race card. Orange man bad, and its racist is all they got. Pathetic.
I was going to say, but you already did.
Isn’t People of Color, i.e. non-whites, on the approved list?
They’re pissed about what he called them, not that the story is an outright lie.
“...colored was the polite term.” Yes, and now it has been decreed as ‘racist’. ‘Negro’ was also the polite term, and yet it too is now considered racist. More recently the word slave has been replaced with ‘enslaved person’. There is just no pleasing some people.
I remember living in Richmond, CA in the Hilltop area—a new family moved in—It was I remember, Joe Banks, of the Harlem Globe Trotters. He had a couple of kids, girls maybe and I went over to ask if they could come out an play, which was appropriate at the time. Joe politely said no—I said I never saw chocolate people before, at at that point in my life, blacks did not live in that part of Richmond and we did not have any blacks in those area schools. We had kids of asian descent and mexican descent—but not black. Oh well I thought and went about my afternoon. I must have been pretty bored that day to seek out girls to play with as we all knew at that age—that girls had cooties and such...
Yup, that pronoun thing again with the left.
Exactly.
They probably used a different word to describe those kids on the bus, but Biden cleaned it up.
Long term memory also vanishes eventually. My mom is at that stage now.
At all ever.
Supposedly, WSJ is claiming that Pedo Joe paid for the time for his retarded rant at trash President Trump with all the “little colored kids” and probably some “breakfast tacos” watching. Somebody needs to tell Joe Pedo he helped get President Trump reelected.
You misspelled 'grift'...
““And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called ‘colored kids,’ on a bus go by — they never turned right to go to Claymont High School.””
To be fair he did say “at the time”.
