I'm very happy that Trump lost, but what a terrible way to start an article, with a provable falsehood.

We all hope that Biden has changed, but I've followed his career for decades, and he spent many years actively working with white supremacists to advance their cause.

Joe Biden once called state-mandated school integration “the most racist concept you can come up with,” and Barack Obama “the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean.” He was a staunch opponent of “forced busing” in the 1970s, and leading crusader for mass incarceration throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. Uncle Joe has described African-American felons as “predators” too sociopathic to rehabilitate — and white supremacist senators as his friends.

Again, I detest Trump with a burning passion, but that doesn’t blind me to the fact that Biden has spent most of his life working against equality between Black and White Americans.
