Busing wasn't about putting black kids and white kids on the same bus. That had been happening for years. It was about integrating schools by busing kids to schools away from their neighborhoods. There was racism involved with some of the opposition, but others were just opposed to their young children being shipped across town to attend school when in the past their school was within walking distance.
Joe has made some racist sounding statements like the ones you mentioned above, I chalk it up to his age which doesn't make it right. I think the fact that most of the black members of congress support him says they trust him to enact policies that are not racist.
Sorry, but Joe opposed busing his white kids with black kids because...and I quote "Unless we do something about this, MY childern are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point." This is not debatable.Busing wasn't about putting black kids and white kids on the same bus. That had been happening for years.

Now, if this had been something Trump would have said you (and other Biden apologist) would have gone ballistic....and for good reason. But instead you all just give him a pass by saying "well, look at the times". This is a crock. There were REAL reformers who were actually working on ALL civil rights, whether it affected their family or not. He ONLY worked on racial equality when it benifited him with more votes. Cripes, he and Jesse Helms would pals.
Again, his true colors have been shown many times, but Dems just turn the other way. None of this is hard to verify for anyone who doesn't have blinders on. And as I have said already.....we have two Sh!tty choices.....but Joe is a complete vegetable.
