Journalists - friends - and former employees have accused him of fueling racism in the United States[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and some scholars have placed biden's rhetoric and performance in the context ofTemplate:Clarify white supremacy[11][12] and has even been endorsed by white supremacists[13]. biden has repeatedly denied accusations of racism - and some people who have known him have gone on record to state that he is not racist.

Biden voted against school busing and called desegregated schools “jungles”.

Biden voted for the Iraq war and didn’t support a peace agreement between NK and SK.

From 2018 to 2020 - biden was a leading proponent of the already-debunked Russia conspiracy theory claiming president Donald trump was secretly working as an agent of the russian government and had colluded with them to "rig" the 2016 election.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]

in a racially-charged case- Joe Biden -without evidence-- claimed that a hispanic[23] kid who was accused of shooting 3 terrorists in self defense[24] [25][26]was a "terrorist" and "white supremacist"[27][28][29]

September 2020: "Some Black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf"

Biden landed in hot water over a viral clip of him suggesting why people were able to quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic.

"They're saying, 'Jeez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some Black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf,'" Biden is heard saying in the clip.[30]

May 2020: “You ain’t black.”

In an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” the presumptive Democratic nominee told host Charlamagne tha God, “I tell you if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” before defending his record with the black community.[31]

August 2019: “Poor kids” just as bright as “white kids”

At a campaign event in Iowa, Biden told supporters “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.” He quickly corrected himself after some applause by adding: “Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”[32]

June 2019: “The kid wearing a hoodie.”

While discussing the need for criminal justice reform at a luncheon last year, Biden said people must continue to work to recognize black as equals so that African American mothers, like the mother of Trayvon Martin who was shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida in 2012, no longer have to fear their sons will be shot when they go outside.

"We've got to recognize that the kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger," Biden said.

Biden quickly drew criticism for his use of the word “gangbanger.” Former presidential candidate Cory Booker said Biden “needs to have the language to talk about race in a far more constructive way.”[33]

June 2019: Biden touts his work with segregationist senators

Biden was slammed by fellow Democrats after invoking his ability decades ago to work with two segregationist southern senators to “get things done.”[34]

Biden brought up the names of Sens. Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia while speaking at a fundraiser Tuesday in New York City. Eastland and Talmadge, two senior members in the Senate when Biden arrived in the chamber in 1973, were firmly opposed to desegregation efforts.

“I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,” Biden said as he briefly imitated the late senator’s southern drawl. “He never called me boy. He always called me son.”

But discussing the “civility” in the Senate during the 1970s, Biden said: “Well guess what? At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today, you look at the other side and you’re the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don't talk to each other anymore.”

Sens. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, also running for president at the time, raised serious concerns.

August 2012: “Put y’all back in chains”

Then-Vice President Biden told a Virginia audience that then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s financial regulation lifts would "put y'all back in chains."

"He said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules," Biden said. "Unchain Wall Street! They're gonna put y'all back in chains."[35]

February 2007: Obama is "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean”

Biden, while running for the 2008 presidency, issued what he thought was praise of then-Senator Barack Obama, saying he was "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean."

Biden apologized for the statement at the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting. "I want to say that I truly regret that the words I spoke offended people that I admire very much," he said.[36]

"You can't go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent"

Biden, then a senator of Delaware, can be seen in a clip talking to a man who appears to be of Indian descent. “In Delaware the largest growth in population is Indian Americans,” Biden said. “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. not joking.”[37]

Biden praised the notorious segregationist politician George Wallace, boasted about how Wallace once honored him with an award in 1973, and told a Southern audience in 1987 that “we [Delawareans] were on the South’s side in the Civil War.”[38]￼

Biden opposed busing in the 1970s and expressed fears that it would lead to a “racial jungle.”[39]

While delivering remarks before a black audience in Delaware, Biden launched into a meandering story about a gang leader named Corn Pop and claimed that he “learned about roaches” while working at a community pool in a black neighborhood. [40]￼

Biden falsely claimed to have “marched” in the civil rights movement. [41]￼[42]

Joe Biden has also been accused of promoting black supremacy and anti-white racism

Biden told a Delaware based newspaper in 1975 "In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back""[43]
