During a portion of an interview with NBC aired on Thursday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” President Joe Biden responded to Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) speech on Wednesday and stated that while he doesn’t think the American people are racist, “after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity.”
Host Craig Melvin asked, “He said among other things, America isn’t racist. Is it?”
Biden responded, “No, I don’t think the American people are racist. But I think after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity.”
He also stated, “I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow and before that slavery has had a cost and we have to deal with it.”

Somebody remind Pedo Joe that slavery ended in 1865, and “Jim Crow” ended in 1965.
Seriously Joe, ESAD.
Things that make you go, “hmmmmmmm....”
Could it be because the Democrats created the welfare state and convinced them that they would supply all their needs with out them having to learn as much as 2+2’ ?????
Joe , you’re a mess and you’re making a mess of the US
No one is behind or left behind.
They lack ambition
Period
Doesn’t the eight ball have racist connotations?
The Bell Curve.
It’s real.
L
Does this mean that we can encourage young black men to get educated? Or is that still “acting White”?
Liberal Plantation, it is not!
Yeah Joe and it’s liberal welfare programs that have kept them in this state. You own it.
They’ve had the last 60 years of opportunity. A lot haven’t taken it...They did not educate because they did not want to “be like whitey”....So they stayed stupid but expected everything to be handed to them...
They need to get a grip and make something of themselves...
Drove through the housing projects this morning.
Everyone is driving an excellent late model car, while on welfare.
a mind is a terrible thing to waste
Statistical results, not “systemic racism”, with many causative factors behind them, beginning with the statistically weak family unit among too many “blacks”.
And yet penniless immigrants can make up the gap in one generation. If you want to know the cause of black poverty, look at the Great Society.
He should just come out and say it. Just say what you are thinking Joe. You racist bastard.
Typical of the democommies to still try to perpetuate that ‘these people’ can’t possibly make it without help becaue they’re not bright enough. And folks that are making BIG BUX off of it ain’t gonna tip over the apple cart.
Better to implement tutoring programs for bad students than to lower standards. Same for the rest of life.
