The Washington Post unearths this quote from former Vice President Joe Biden in 1975:
I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race.’ I don’t buy that.
First Read: “Joe Biden’s greatest strength is that he’s been in the mainstream of American politics for the last 50 years. And that’s his greatest weakness, too.”
“It raises the question: Can the Democratic Party we saw nearly melt down this week over Ilhan Omar handle Biden’s past – whether it’s busing, race or Anita Hill?”
