I think the anger over the Harris- Biden exchange is not because she asked the question

[LovingA2andMI]

149. Ummm.....

No. Try Again....One Last Time....

"HARRIS: But, Vice President Biden, do you agree today — do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in America then? Do you agree?

BIDEN: I did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education. That’s what I opposed. I did not oppose ——

HARRIS: Well, there was a failure of states to integrate public schools in America. I was part of the second class to integrate Berkeley, California, public schools almost two decades after Brown v. Board of Education.

BIDEN: Because your city council made that decision. It was a local decision.

HARRIS: So that’s where the federal government must step in.

BIDEN: The federal government ——"

Let's Get This Straight, Shall We....

First, Biden did oppose Integrated Busing in America as noted here:

"The response illustrates the firm political footing on which Biden stood as a freshman lawmaker when he opposed government-mandated busing, a policy that roiled Wilmington, Del., and other major metropolitan areas in the 1970s.

“The new integration plans being offered are really just quota systems to assure a certain number of blacks, Chicanos, or whatever in each school. That, to me, is the most racist concept you can come up with,” the senator from Delaware told a home-state newspaper in 1975. “Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?"

That Senator was Joe Biden, by the way.

Next, what does this mean?

BIDEN: Because your city council made that decision. It was a local decision.

A City Council DOES NOT IN 90% of most cases makes a decision about Public School Busing. That would be the ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD (we have repeated ourselves so much on this fact in the last 24 hours on this FACT - its becoming tiring).

Lastly, this....

BIDEN: The federal government ——"

What was Biden's question here or half a sentence. OF COURSE the Federal Government had to STEP IN as the Federal Government COOPERATIVELY FUNDS AMERICA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS as they did in the late 1960's and 1970's.

Oh one more thing.....This:

"Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, case in which, on April 20, 1971, the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously upheld busing programs that aimed to speed up the racial integration of public schools in the United States.

In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. However, because of racially segregated housing patterns and resistance by local leaders, many schools remained as segregated in the late 1960s as they were at the time of the Brown decision.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, for example, in the mid-1960s less than 5 percent of African American children attended integrated schools. Indeed, busing was used by white officials to maintain segregation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), on behalf of Vera and Darius Swann, the parents of a six-year-old child, sued the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district to allow their son to attend Seversville Elementary School, the school closest to their home and then one of Charlotte’s few integrated schools. James McMillan, the federal district judge in the case, ruled in favour of the Swanns and oversaw the implementation of a busing strategy that integrated the district’s schools. McMillan’s decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld it. The busing strategy was adopted elsewhere in the United States and played an instrumental role in integrating U.S. public schools."

Biden still said this four years later AFTER Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education:

“The new integration plans being offered are really just quota systems to assure a certain number of blacks, Chicanos, or whatever in each school. That, to me, is the most racist concept you can come up with,” the senator from Delaware told a home-state newspaper in 1975. “Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?"

Full Stop with the SPIN please. The Facts are what they are and Joe needs to atone for his statements and role or get out of the race. Period.
