[quote:Anonymous Coward 77222866:MV80MjY1ODk2Xzc3NzE0MzYwXzY3MjRBMTA0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 73265093:MV80MjY1ODk2Xzc3NzE0MzA5XzQ4QTJCRTI2] He may not be the most diplomatic person in the room, but is he wrong about this statement? It's common knowledge that education in black majority areas is pretty atrocious But just because you're right about something, doesn't mean you should say it [/quote] He's wrong though. A lot of old timers couldn't read or write but their children could. They learned how in school. Enough with the excuses let's just call it what it is. Low IQ. [/quote]
Original Message
Biden's remarks, which were first reported by The New York Times on Thursday, came during a private gathering with prominent black mayors from Georgia. Three people with direct knowledge of the meeting confirmed the account to the newspaper, noting that Biden had said that black communities face a problem because "parents can't read or write themselves." Many of the attendees were reportedly "shocked" and "frustrated" by the former vice president's comment.
