Joe Biden embraced segregation in 1975, claiming it was a matter of ‘black pride’

By Washington Examiner, June 28, 2020

Joe Biden, weighing a 2020 White House bid, once advocated continued school segregation in the United States, arguing that it benefited minorities and that integration would prevent black people from embracing “their own identity.”

Biden was speaking in 1975, when he opposed the federally mandated busing policy designed to end segregation in schools. In the past few decades, he has claimed he wanted desegregation but believed the policy of busing would not achieve it. Last year, he stated he had voted heroically to protect busing.

In 2008, after being chosen as Barack Obama’s vice-presidential running mate he said: “The struggle for civil rights was the animating political element of my life.” He appears poised to make his civil rights record a centerpiece of any campaign, telling an audience in Fort Lauderdale this week that “I came out of the civil rights movement. He added that he first became aware of what an “awful thing” segregation was as a third grader, when he asked his mother why a bus was taking black children to a school away from where they lived.

But 44 years ago, facing a backlash against busing from white voters, the future vice president voiced concerns not just about the policy of busing, which he had supported when first seeking election in 1972, but about the impact of desegregation on American society. He argued that segregation was good for blacks and was what they wanted.

“I think the concept of busing … that we are going to integrate people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest, is a rejection of the whole movement of black pride,” said Biden. Desegregation, he argued, was “a rejection of the entire black awareness concept, where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied; and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity, their own individuality.”

Questioning whether he might be a racist, Biden said he had asked “the blacks on my staff” whether he harbored something “in me that’s deep-seated that I don’t know.”

Attacking dementia Joe for his pro-segregation statements is sound. However, every conservative worth a fig was vehemently opposed to forced busing in the 60, 70s to achieve integration. Forced busing was the epitome of Leftist, elitist social engineering. It was aimed at destroying local communities through a coercive policy of moving blacks and whites across cities without addressing failed public schools. Dementia Joe is a racist but not because he opposed forced busing.

It is strange but the main result of all of this racism insanity is to reinforce stereotypical views of other races and the behaviour of certain groups totally reinforces this. I do wonder if the Left actually understand the irony of their actions there?

POLITIFACT, the fact-checking site rated this story as “Half True”. LOL!

even when it’s true, it only get a “half-true” rating. POLITIFACT is run by the the Tampa Bay Times. A Democrat newspaper.

POLITI-FAKE is their real name.

Time for a clear-eyed assessment of what exactly has happened to neighborhoods, towns and cities that have transformed from white to black in the past 50 years. Acknowledging the brutal soul-crushing destruction of those communities is a necessary part of any current attempt to continue the Quixotic quest to make the black population equal in OUTCOME to whites, primarily by forcing even more guilt and penalties upon the whites. Reparations to those whose communities were destroyed is also perhaps worthy of consideration.
