(12,344 posts)and good for her. Biden should have had a planned response because he should have known it was coming.
And I don't agree that "I know you are not racist but...." is calling somebody racist. And whether it is or it isn't he should have had a response for that too, because it's been a topic for a week, and "how dare you call me a racist," is a really weak response.
I am the same age as Harris. There was a bussing controversy at my school too, and it was a nasty failure. You better believe it was about racism and politicians like Biden knew it. Which I don't fault him for at all, because he could not have survived without acceding the realities of 1973.
What I want to know is what he will do about racism today. We've learned a lot since 1973, and even since 2016. So where do we go from here? I think Biden actually does have some answers for this, and next time he better be able to tell us what they are in 30 seconds, the attention span of an American in the Twitter age.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
