Arrr mateys be tellin' the President Biden that he be talkin' out o' both sides o' his mouth! Praisin' Brown v. Board o' Education one minute, but forgettin' 'bout his past support for school segregation the next. Walk the plank, ye hypocritical landlubber!
President Biden spoke to Black leaders on the 70th anniversary of the desegregation of schools, but faced backlash online for his past actions in the fight against school desegregation. Despite his advocacy for affirmative action programs, critics pointed out his past remarks that they deemed racist. Biden had previously spoken out in favor of segregation, leading to criticism from his opponents, including Vice President Kamala Harris.In a 1975 Senate hearing, Biden was criticized for sponsoring a bill limiting the court's power to use buses to desegregate schools. He also faced criticism for remarks about segregationists and KKK members, including eulogizing former KKK member Robert Byrd and praising segregationist Strom Thurmond.In response to the criticism, Biden refused to apologize, stating he had "not a racist bone in my body" and highlighting his involvement in civil rights throughout his career. Despite his efforts to address racial inequalities, Biden's past statements continue to haunt him and are used by his detractors to question his commitment to racial justice.
