Here's the thing about opposing "forced busing"

That’s funny coming from an anonymous poster.

I grew up in Delaware - where Joe Biden lived in an exclusive neighborhood where black folks could not buy, and he went to an all white private school and then graduated in 1965 from UofD which didn’t admit black students until 1971. His family was quite well off in Delaware, where his father ran a successful auto dealership, in contrast to his constant “hard times” Scranton stories.

I was in high school in 1979 when Evans v. Buchanan, which began in 1971, was finally implemented in New Castle County. And I know damned well what my racist classmates and their racist families were upset about when the “n—— wagons” arrived. I can recall classmates of mine attempting to organize a walkout to protest the desegregation decision when it was handed down.

And those racist assholes consistently used “forced busing” for “desegregation”.

I’ve written several posts here about the circumstances relevant to what was going on in Delaware when Biden was running for re-election for the first time in 1978. The county school districts were drawn around groups of white neighborhoods which were kept that way by the real estate industry and the banks.

To join, say, a pool club, the membership committee would visit the applicants’ family at home to make sure they were the “right kind of people”. It was deeply entrenched into the patterns of life here in Joe Biden’s Delaware.

You are the second anonymous nobody this week to offer nothing but a snide and incorrect personal comment when you have ZERO clue what the circumstances relevant to Joe Biden’s history on school desegregation actually are.
