SaysWho? Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Got this email that Joe Biden's camp is sending out as a response to Harris and for fundraising: "I’d like to say something about the debate last night. I heard and I respect Senator Harris. For my entire career, I’ve fought my heart out to ensure that civil rights, voting rights, and equal rights are enforced everywhere. These rights are not up to the states to decide. They are embedded in our Constitution. And, the federal government has a duty to protect the civil rights of every single American. That has always been my position. That’s why I ran for Senate in the first place. But the discussion in this race today shouldn’t be about the past. It should be about how we can do better and move forward and give every kid in this country an opportunity to succeed. That means good schools in every neighborhood. No child’s future should be determined by their zip code. Right now, we have a president who promotes hate and division -- and has encouraged the poison of white supremacy. I will be a president who stands against racism and the forces of exclusion and intolerance everywhere in our society -- in our institutions, in our voting booths, and in our hearts. We have to get Donald Trump out of office. I’m ready to keep fighting. And Jackoff Titty Man Licky Split Shit, I hope I can count on you to be by my side. I’ve proposed tripling funding for Title I schools -- to eliminate the disparities between rich and poor school districts. We’re going to increase teacher pay and make sure every 3- and 4-year old is in pre-K. I will reinstate the policies we pushed during the Obama-Biden Administration to finish the work of desegregating our schools -- because we have a national interest in creating diverse student bodies. We have to make sure that we keep moving closer to the idea of the America that lives in our founding documents. We hold these truths self-evident. That all men -- and women -- are created equal. It’s an idea we’ve never lived up to. But we’ve never walked away from the idea of equality either. And we cannot afford to walk away from it now. Barack Obama was a president our kids could -- and did -- look up to. We need that again. I hope I can make you proud. Thank you for your support, - Joe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Biden has also spoken at an event about his positions on racial justice. The video should start at the timestamp. If it doesn't start at the time stamp (it does for me, but for my friend, it didn't), 4:22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
