Default Re: More Joe Biden racial views

[ QUOTE ]
I really don't think the explanation I gave was neccesary. To anyone who knows about black history and the problems blacks have (ie, blacks), what I wrote is simply common sense. I'm surprised people DON'T know that blacks tend to be less financially secure, less able to afford good education.

Yeah, except that's not what Biden said. Removing the extraneous "Iowa has less blacks than DC" part, this is what he actually said:

There's less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American...it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with."

This is not merely "blacks are less able to afford good education". It's not even close.
