WASHINGTON — Racism in America is an institutional"white man's problem visited on people of color," Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday, arguing that the way to attack the issue is to defeat President Donald Trump and hold him responsible for deepening the nation's racial divide.
"White folks are the reason we have institutional racism," Biden said."There has always been racism in America. White supremacists have always existed, they still exist." He added later that in his administration, it would"not be tolerated." "The bad news is I have a long record. The good news is I have a long record," Biden said when asked about his enduring support among black voters."People know me — at least they think they know me. I think after all this time, I think they have a sense of what my character is, who I am."
Without mentioning her by name, Biden also referenced California Sen. Kamala Harris' attack on him during the first presidential debate on the issue of busing as a solution to school desegregation. Looking ahead to the next Democratic debate in Houston in September, he said that he understands why he has a target on his back but cautioned that Democrats"shouldn't be forming a circular firing squad and shooting" because it only helps Trump.
