Those quotes are shocking! I can't imagine any liberal, progressive, ethnic group knowing of them and still supporting him. What does that say about their selection process? Their intent may not have been seen by them as insulting as you would have us believe. Frankly such a harsh view of them is appropriate. Do you apply such rigor to the candidates you support? Or is it reserved for whatever side you don't agree with at the time?
I am simply saying that there is a deep seated racism within Joe Biden, one that he himself can not recognize because he thinks that his view is in common with everyone else's and is the norm. Art, most white people who have been around as long as we have have had to come to terms with the stereotypical views we have held over the years most of which were formed in our youth. We have had to grow past them through self-reflection and understanding, it is clear that Joe Biden has never done such a self assessment and has never come to terms with his inner most thoughts on race and society.
I can't speak for Trump, I will state that the "there were good people on both sides" comment was taken completely out of the larger context and is a dishonest slander against him.
