    Lol.

    You can’t try to defend Biden…

    So you make up hypothetical Black people and say they didn’t want their kids to go to school with white kids?

    Like, you just honestly tried to say it was the Black people being racist, and what’s the implication?

    That Biden knew that, lied about why he was against busing as a cover job?

    Why not just stop replying instead of that shit you typed?

      Black leaders were mixed on the practice. Activist Jesse Jackson, NAACP officials and U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm were among those who supported busing efforts and policies. But many Black nationalists argued that focus should instead be placed on strengthening schools in Black communities.

      A February 1981 Gallup Poll found 60 percent of Black Americans were in favor of busing, while 30 percent were opposed to it. Among white people surveyed, 17 percent favored busing, and 78 percent were against it.

      “It ain’t the bus, it’s us,’’ Jackson told The New York Times in 1981. ‘’Busing is absolutely a code word for desegregation. The forces that have historically been in charge of segregation are now being asked to be in charge of desegregation.’”

        Has it been so long that you forgot which side eyounwere arguing?

        Or do you legitimately think that backs up your opinion from almost a day ago?

          Those are the “hypothetical” black people you were talking about. My point was always that there are legitimate reasons for not supporting busing.

            Black supremacists…

            So Biden wasnt against school desegregation because he agreed with white supremacists…

            You think it was because he agreed with Black supremacists so it’s fine.

            Fucking ridiculous man, but if you can’t just take the L this has definitely been worth a block., doesn’t even matter at this point if you’re trolling or legitimately incapable of understanding this shit.
