This is literally what your article states that Biden literally said during the same interview where he said he would consider an amendment:
That is literally him explaining why he was against court ordered busing in his own words in the exact same interview.

So his reason for the anti-busing constitutional amendment was that racists were against busing?

That's enough for me today. You're obviously drunk.

An honest person would say his support for an anti-busing constitutional amendment was either (a) he thought busing was wrong and should be stopped as a moral issue, or (b) a position he didn’t believe in but only held for political expediency because it was popular at the time and has since reversed himself since it’s now a political liability. Which do you think it is?

Saying “it needed to be an amendment not a law” or “ just because racists are opposed to busing doesn’t mean we should be for it” aren’t really reasons.

Some Democrats (like Kamala Harris) do.


That's the thing about good old boys, they're pretty much a GO no matter who wins. They're always up for a good time. You blue state folks better get to passing some more gun control laws before November. You never know when someone from the ghetto might get on the wrong bus route and shoot up your house rather than the competing drug dealer's and without another law or ten that ghetto person won't know that's wrong and they shouldn't do it.

I mean you do care about the bus but only if they bring the ghetto to your doorstep.

When urban liberals fear black men, they create social programs. When conservatives fear black men, they move to the suburbs so they don't have to support social programs. Main difference is that conservatives have far less fear afterwards since they know riots aren't going to impact them, only the urban liberals who tried to buy off the riff-raff.


you sure are afraid of black people on busses. Maybe biden is your candidate?

If Dems want the candidate who supported a policy favored by racists in the 70s because in 2020 you think will appeal to voters you believe are racists, then go for it. Sounds like a good plan.

Yes he did. Like I said, he's not as electable as has been assumed. He's too gaff prone and has way too much history to be exploited by Trump.
Gaff prone? That's what I don't understand. Comapred to Trump Biden should be a poet laurete .

Yeah, but for some odd reason, Trump gets a pass on virtually everything. Maybe it's just the audacity of it all. It's like he came in 2015 and said hi, I'm Donald Trump, I'm a liar, I'm a bigot, I'm not very bright, and I'm totally corrupt. And I really, really wanna be Prez. How do you like that? And half the country said, "Sure why not." At least he's up front about being a sleazy moron ??

trumps followers are horrible humans. What he does doesnt matter. Take glenn. He actually thinks bussing shouldnt be a thing. Not in 1979 but today in 2019. These people are the worst humans living.

This seriously wasn't an issue that needed addressed. I don't feel Biden was on the wrong side of the debate when it took place all those years ago. She brought this up to try to paint him as a racist. She needs to stick to her platform and discuss those rather than trying to demonize the others in her party, especially when the context of what she was accusing wasn't really even correct to begin with.

That being said Biden didn't handle it well at all. There were many things he could have said to smooth it over to a degree and he didn't. He got defensive, which is most likely exactly what she was going for. That's a Trump tactic.

Once again, here is the rest of the quote from his interview:
And so we haven't really looked at it. Now there's a confluence of streams. There is academic ferment against it — not majority, but academic ferment against it. There are young blacks and young white leaders against it.
This is the part you still haven't read. The part right after the part where he explained that since racists opposed busing many people were being lazy and just assuming busing was always a good thing. I quoted this to you in post 75 and you didn't read it. I explained this to you in post 64 in the second paragraph and you didn't read it then. This is probably because there is a bag of Republican dicks where your brain used to be. Permanent damage from all the skullfucking you've been subjected to.
