FYI - Joe Biden (D-Delaware) once owned property that had an explicit clause in the deed which forbade selling the property to Blacks.

This was news about 20+ years ago. I'm "surprised" that the media has forgotten about it now.

So does my house. In fact, it has a rather long paragraph describing all the people it can't be sold to or allowed to occupy it. Filipinos, interestingly, are allowed to live there as servants, but not as owners.

Trying to spin this into something proving Biden (or me) to be a racist is ridiculous. In my case, the covenants in the deed date from the original subdivision of the land in the late 1930s. Such covenants were found to be illegal by the USSC in the 1948. If you want to bash Biden for something else, have at it, but implying he's a racist because he owns (or owned) property that some long dead racist tried, in a now-illegal deed clause, to keep all-white just makes you look silly.

Then have the deed amended.

As a Democrat politician and lawyer, Joe Biden certainly should have known better and I do think he is a racist, maybe not the hood wearing kind but his recent comments about Indians certainly hints at the possibility that he is incredibly insenitive and demeaning to people of some other races.
