Biden stoking the racial fire.
Via Washington Times:
In an election-year effort to motivate minority voters, Vice President Joseph R. Biden told the National Urban League Thursday that the black community “can’t be satisfied with where we are now.”
“On the civil rights front, we see renewed attacks on voting rights across the nation,” Mr. Biden said at the group’s annual meeting in Cincinnati. “On the economic front as well, there’s been some tough times.”
He said, “If we’re honest with ourselves, we can’t be satisfied with where we are now, on either civil rights or economic opportunities for African-Americans.”
After recounting gains by blacks in the civil-rights era, Mr. Biden said, “Something happened on the way to the 2008 election.”
“The franchise is under siege,” he said.”Both civil rights and economic rights, in the aftermath of the great recession that the president and I inherited, has devastated parts of the community.”
