Joe Biden Says “White America Has To Admit There Is Systemic Racism” (Video)

Uncle Joe is back at it again. During an event hosted by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, former Vice President Joe Biden spoke an all too realistic truth that Black people face everyday. Maybe coming from a white man with power might force some people to listen.

Knowing you can’t fix a problem without addressing it fully, Biden spoke on his own whiteness and its advantages. “We have a lot to root out, but most of all the systematic racism that most of us whites don’t like to acknowledge even exists.”

“There is something we have to admit ― not you, we, white America has to admit: There is still systematic racism.” Biden said all of this in front of a most Black audience.

“It goes almost unnoticed by so many of us. When all that is surrounding us, is it any wonder that there is still a spirit of restlessness out there? How do we ensure that every American can live a life of dignity?”

According to The Root, Biden also spoke on Donald Trump. “I never thought I would live to see … a president of the United States make a moral equivalence between those who were spreading the hate and those who were opposing it, saying there were ‘very fine people on both sides.’ No president since the Civil War had ever, ever uttered words like that.”
