    Yes, that definitely sounds like the type of person a black man would choose as his vice president and who chose a black woman as his own vice president.

      If we wanna play dumb, we can bring up Biden’s stance on “forced bussing”.

      Seriously though, you’re not even saying he can’t be racist because he has a black friend, you’re saying he can’t be racist because he worked with black people? That’s a ridiculous take, dude.

      I mean, you know Republicans work with Tim Scott so they’re basically advocating for reparations, I guess

        Well the first thing I said is that a black man chose him…

          Because he knew he needed to get the “I’m not racist, but I just don’t know if America is ready for a black president” racist twits to vote for him, and he knew that picking up an old white guy with a history of saying “These segregationists have a point” was the way to do that.

          The pundits called it folksy blue collar charm.

      Uh… I don’t agree with that commenter, but that was kind of the reason he was chosen by Obama. He was chosen to be a signal to the racists that Obama was “one of the good ones.” Biden was famous for working with racists in the past. Do I think he would go so far as to bring back slavery? Hell no.
