“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.” —Joe Biden, 1977

This quote is accurate and has been verified. Biden was expressing concerns about busing as a means of desegregation.

Do you think he may have possibly changed his views on such things in the intervening half-century?

Robert Byrd started in the KKK and died a champion of civil rights, endorsed by the NAACP.

In 2020, during a radio interview, Biden said “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”

Also in 2020, Biden stated that "unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things

I mean the second one is just objectively true, the black community tends to vote as a bloc while latine communities can vary in a variety of ways because they’re basically as diverse as the rest of the US as a whole is. Even from within the same country of origin there can be significant splits in opinion, northern and southern mexicans pretty frequently vote for different parties, because northern mexicans tend to be from longer established communities and families while southern mexicans tend to be much more recent newcomers.

Meanwhile the split in the black community is mostly just some dudes who got sucked into the manosphere and literally everyone else facepalming at their bullshit.

You have different kinds of racism, Joe is the old uncle who means well but isn’t all that bright. The thing is, he updates his view unlike your other uncle, Don, who is more concerned with updating their library of racist jokes.

Crazy to think both were adults during segregation.

He is correct about both things. Trump hates black people, so you are a traitor to your race if you vote for him, and the black community’s culture is based on American culture while Latino culture is based on the cultures of countries across the Americas and the Caribbean.

Did you actually read that article? It says his account was generally corroborated. Even the guy’s son had no problem with the story.
