It’s no surprise that Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, has been caught pandering again. During a White House Black History Month event, Joe Biden made some truly confusing statements.
He said, “I may be a white boy, but I’m not stupid,” and then proceeded to reference the Divine Nine, a group of African-American sororities. This was followed by a 2019 comment about poverty and education which was questionable, at best.
It appears that Joe Biden is trying hard to appeal to minority voters with remarks like these, but his words come across as disingenuous. His logic seems flawed when he talks about poor kids outperforming their wealthier peers if they are given access to the same resources.
It’s clear that this is an attempt to gain favor among potential voters, and it fails miserably. First off, it was blatantly racist. Biden implied that all poor student are black while suggesting that all wealthy students are white— Um… No!?
Joe Biden is trying to be relatable to the crowd in front of him, but his words are awkward and out of touch. It’s time for him to realize that pandering won’t get him anywhere and that he needs to provide real solutions to the issues he’s facing. The Republican Party has been a champion of this idea, providing real solutions to the problems facing minority communities.
The transcript from Biden’s speech at the White House Black History Month event is included below:
“I may be a white boy, but I’m not stupid,” he declared. While on one hand Biden claims to have knowledge about the Divine Nine—a group of African-American sororities—on the other hand, his 2019 comment about poverty and education is questionable.

Watch
Do this math:
Biden in 2019: “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
Biden today: “I may be a white boy, but I'm not stupid.”

Republicans have been pushing for policies that help disadvantaged communities to move forward, while Joe Biden continues to make empty promises and confuse people with his words.
