Racist remarks! article by Marian Casillas Ed.D.

 

He praised George Wallace former Governor of Alabama best remembered for his 1960’s segregationist politics as “someone who’s not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn’t pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right.”

During the Civil Rights movement he wanted to “ensure we do have orderly integration of society, not just talking about education but all of society. Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.”

He observed about Barack Obama running for president, “You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Speaking to a group of Latino reporters he asserted, “By the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

He proclaimed, “We should challenge students in these schools. 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. Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids — no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

He declared that “In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

He claimed it is wrong to hold China accountable for the COVID-19 because Americans aren’t able to distinguish “between a South Korean and someone from Beijing.”

These are all Joe Biden quotes, yet the media never labels him as being a racist.

Biden told a black interviewer, “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
