The time Joe Biden told the truth.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - In what the Washington Post is describing as a "stumble," Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said in an interview with the paper Wednesday that Washington's high minority population is one of the reasons for the city's education problems.

Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, "There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with."

"When you have children coming from dysfunctional homes, when you have children coming from homes where there's no books, where the mother from the time they're born doesn't talk to them - as opposed to the mother in Iowa who's sitting out there and talks to them, the kid starts out with a 300 word larger vocabulary at age three. Half this education gap exists before the kid steps foot in the classroom," the Delaware Democrat added.

The paper reports Biden's campaign quickly sought to clarify the remarks, saying in a statement that the senator was not making a "race-based distinction" but rather a "socio-economic" one.

Of course you could never say this now. White racism is the unifying theory that explains all negative racial disparities.

Yep, reading to your kids is just systemic white institutional racism and explains why too many black kids can't read.

He has a thing for Iowa - From 2019s

Former Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd in Iowa on Thursday that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids," an awkward gaffe that came during a conversation about discrimination faced by low-income students.

White racism forces them not to read to their kids and to watch a lot of TV.

Always amazes me how these numbers shake out the same way no matter the subject matter. You name the topic and the breakdown by race will almost always be the same. Junk food consumption, reading scores, credit scores, out of wedlock births.

In 2019, TV consumption in the United States was highest among African Americans,who watched an average of 3.23 hours of TV each day. Meanwhile, Asian Americans spent around half that amount of time watching television each day.

Are you sure it's not restrictive covenants in 1940s Pasadena that's to blame for those poor reading scores?

What's sad is that I think that comment was an attempt to atone for his 2007 comment.

There is a reason that Biden never got above 1% and was first man out when he ran in democrat primaries. Even democrats know he is a bumbling fool

But somehow 81 million Americans decided to vote for him this time around
