    If we wanna play dumb, we can bring up Biden’s stance on “forced bussing”.

    Seriously though, you’re not even saying he can’t be racist because he has a black friend, you’re saying he can’t be racist because he worked with black people? That’s a ridiculous take, dude.

    I mean, you know Republicans work with Tim Scott so they’re basically advocating for reparations, I guess

        Because he knew he needed to get the “I’m not racist, but I just don’t know if America is ready for a black president” racist twits to vote for him, and he knew that picking up an old white guy with a history of saying “These segregationists have a point” was the way to do that.
