Yes.

They should leave it, but add something to it about the stolen money and lives lost due to the riots.

VERIFY: Fact vs. fiction on Joe Biden's quote about busing leading to a racial jungle' (July 2020 )
www.13newsnow.com

...
THE QUESTION

Did Joe Biden really say that busing policies for desegregation would turn public schools into "a racial jungle?"

THE ANSWER

In a 1977 Senate Judiciary hearing, Biden did talk about busing policies and how "unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

The quote in the claim that has been spreading online is false. Biden did not directly say, "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."

"Biden made the remark in 1977 during a hearing about busing school children in order to desegregate public schools. As The New York Times reported in a detailed delineation of Biden's history with busing, Biden at the time had emerged as the Democratic party's crusader against busing, taking the same side as segregationists. Biden "joined up with Jesse Helms, the segregationist senator from North Carolina, to offer his own anti-busing amendment to that year's education spending bill." Biden's "advocacy made it safe for other Democrats to oppose busing," The Times reported"

@#16 ... youre full of it, as usual. ...

I'm not convinced the comment your current alias is replying to is the one that is full of it in the conversation.

But I'll move on ...

Even snopes.com posted the full quote, not the excerpt that seems to put a ------ in your chinos. :) ...

... The quote is accurate as reported and reads in full:

Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.

...


So, all your current alias seems to have here is a cherry-picked [intentionally?] misleading partial quote.

Wow, does that illustrate the weakness of the position your current alias seems to offer?

In other words, what your current alias posts seems to hurt the credibility of what it posts.

I am willing to stand corrected on this.

So, what's yer got?


#21 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-03-13 10:36 PM

Biden did not eulogize former KKK "grand wizard" (2020)

... CLAIM: When former KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd died in 2010, he was eulogized by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

AP'S ASSESSMENT: Partly false. Biden did eulogize Sen. Robert C. Byrd when he died, but Byrd was not a "grand wizard" in the Ku Klux Klan. He was a member of the KKK in the early 1940s but later renounced his affiliation with the hate group. ...

But Biden was the only President I know of to give eulogy to a former KKK member.

Repentance, grace, and worked the rest of his life to fix the evil he did earlier in his life. He became an example of what a changed heart can do. Yes, indeed, worthy of Biden's eulogy. That was a great eulogy, too.

"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," read a statement by NAACP president Ben Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country."

So thanks for mentioning that. It's a great reminder that people can change for the better. I'd bet even you could.

DONALD TRUMP; Congressional Record Vol. 162, No. 145 (2016)
www.congress.gov

...
DONALD TRUMP

Mr. REID. Madam President, virtually every time Donald Trump says or does something discriminatory--and that is often--the media relies upon a catalog of buzzwords to describe his actions. The press uses words like hateful, intolerant, bigot, extremist, prejudice, to name but a few.

Yet there is always one word that many of the press conspicuously avoid: Racist.

They never label Trump as a racist, but he is a racist. Donald Trump is a racist. ``Racist'' is a term I don't really like.

We have all, with rare exception -- I don't know who it would be -- said things that are not politically correct, but I don't know of anyone, when that happens, who doesn't acknowledge it and, if necessary, apologizes quickly, but Donald Trump doesn't believe the racist things he does and says are wrong.

He says them with the full intent to demean and to denigrate. That is who he is. ...
