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.

“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.”
For that matter, when does Robert Byrd get unpersoned?
He was for it, before he was against it.
The claim will be that “Joe has evolved.”
Like Obama did about gay marriage, and other topics.
The reason that won’t fly is that everyone knows (wink, wink) that Obama was lying and was for gay marriage all along, but had to pretend so he could get elected, the oceans could stop rising, etc.
Joe may have really meant what he said when he said it.
His best defense here is that it’s what he had to say in 1975, and he was lying too, and his heart was always with his current stated position.
Let’s see how his handlers handle it.
That was also the original justification used for Apartheid in South Africa.
when you’ve been in office as long as he has you’ve held about every position possible on an issue.
Weirdly, the left make that argument today.
Separate college graduations, dorms etc...
Wasn’t Delaware a Confederate state?
He could admit he plagiarized someone else.

Joe Biden was in sync with today’s black racist urban culture that want their own black panther police.
He was ahead of his time I guess.
No. United States slave state.
The only reason they’re running Joe is so when he’s president, and is removed from office for senility, the black women he chose as a running mate will be POTUS.
No Delaware was a partitioned slave State. At the time of the Civil War, slavery was illegal in Newcastle County in northern Delaware and severely restricted in the lower counties Kent and Sussex. At the time of the Civil War over 90% of the blacks in Delaware were Freemen. Delaware remained in the Union for the war.
