Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The busing issue is based on one unavoidable fact. [View all]"Forced busing" wasn't a catchphrase for racists. You can't make that statement without some corroboration. It's used in the legal definition of the practice. The Natonal Bureau of Economic Reasearch uses the term. You are, in effect, not only calling Joe Biden a racist, but also Jimmy Carter and other Democrats of the era. 70% of America hated forced busing according to a '72 gallup poll, which is not and was not the same thing as desegregation.
Also, contrary to what you said, there WAS NOT always forced busing to maintain segregated schools. How old are you??
With civil rights leaders like John Lewis completely taking Biden's side on this, no one really has to wonder why white "progressives" continue to misrepresent. Kellyanne Conway isn't the only one giving "alternative facts."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
