Has anyone told Biden yet?

"My fellow Americans. As your President I will faithfully protect you all from the threat of the Soviet Union. Only I can stand up to Brezhnev and stop Communism taking over the world. I have the telegram I sent him in my hand..."

What a POS….

He definitely said "coloured sorority."

I’ve just listened to it.

He'll be giving his speech with no mike and in a vehicle travelling 20 miles an hour with the windows down.

The original was deleted but he definitely said “colored” not “college”

I listened on the Independent's website.

That crowd (the senators) were like perfoming seals at a circus, he could have thrown them beachballs to catch the ammount of times they stood up and clapped

When I said ‘crowd’ I wasn’t talking about them.

Quite a convenient time to have a change of heart for a potential VP candidate called problematic by Labor Unions…



…but this could prove problematic.

Shouldn't of even turned up never mind a soft applause. To think I thought he was o.k. Another ****.

What "coloured sorority" did Harris attend?

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

So he said "coloured" rather than "black"... At least Fox are trying to get out of it so aren't doubling down on the term!

I know that's what he said. I used the term black because I'm not an out of touch racist.

 

[SWP's back]

should be easy to defeat then, no?

Certainly helps yeah. Happy days.

 

[mexico1970]

I'd be more concerned there are actually black colleges, segregation doing well in Murica still, even if it's the segregated wanting to segregate themselves.

But they are trying to get out of it, by claiming that he said, "college".

I’m not sure that there are segregated colleges nowadays.
Don’t forget, Harris went to university around 40 years ago.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Listened to a bit of Kamala Harris today. She speaks very well, and seemed clued up.

They are historically black colleges and universities — anyone can enroll, regardless of race, religion, or creed. The student body at those schools just tend to be made up of mostly black pupils because of the schools’ history and esteem within various black American communities (and white people historically have not wanted to attend them).

And they exist because for a very long time black people were not allowed to enroll in the colleges and universities that already existed near many predominantly black communities, especially in the south, so they founded their own.

Black people are not “segregating themselves” at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). In fact, if I recall correctly, many of the HBCU’s are some of the only schools in the south that NEVER segregated their student bodies.

Can someone living in America confirm or deny this? We have only just started this run up to the election and the basket cases are already zoning in on race and not policies.
