But just because what he said is not Politically-Correct, does not detract from the accuracy and merit in his observations. He's not saying much of anything different than Bill Cosby has repeatedly said.

More politicians should have the 'nads to tell it like it is and not pander to the race-baiting, poverty pimps like Jesse and Al, et al., that the media and other pandering politicians routinely prostrate themselves before. Blacks - and all others - will be better off from considering the valid criticism.

Good for you Joe!

Actually, this is dead on accurate. There are too many irresponsible parents who simply don't care about their children's welfare. And no amount of government social programs is ever going to be able to counteract that.

FACT.

Your post is misleading. Blacks ARE more likely to commit rape. You obvioulsly don't know how to look at statistics. Whites make up 75% of the USA and blacks make up only about 12- 13%, which logically makes "crime-age" black males about 6% (or even less). To have ONLY 6% of the population committing 32.5% of all forcible rapes in the country means that, yes, they are more likely to rape. It is a matter of PROPORTIONALITY!

As Bill Cosby has recently stated;

"In our cities and public schools we have 50% drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child."

Now it is fair to agrgue that white kids are the biggest consumers of rap music and gang related merchandise – but ultimately we see what happens when these rap "artists" are given power, money and influence – they use it to degrade the rest of society even further.

I blame all race-related problems on Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson because they are responsible for injecting racism into every instance where a truthful comment isn't what black people may not want to hear.

Everyone–and I mean everyone–please stop pretending to be so easily offended by truthful or false comments made by politicians or the media. Fake outrage is ruining this country and there are too many hate mongers and babies like Sean Hannity and Al Sharpton who demand apologies for ridiculous reasons. Stop it.

Get thicker skin. And you're gonna need it if you want to survive this pretend war on terrorism. That and Iraq should offend you more than Biden's comments. Get real, people.

My husband and I do well financially, but trying to raise ONE single toddler with utmost care takes all my time and energy. If I had to scrimp for the rent, struggle to pay unexpected medical bills, put off car repairs, scrounge around for a last minute baby sitter because my wage job offers no personal days, walk laundry five blocks while juggling an infant, I can't imagine that I would have the wherewithal to give the requisite care and attention to a little person(s) who can be very aggravating and trying at times.

Let's all work to get everone out of poverty (and that doesn't necessarily mean more money into the current system) so that we never have to discuss whether race is a factor in intelligence.

It's just the facts. Why deny the truth? What are you all afraid of?

You thought Trent Lott's comments were offensive. This putz has got to go!

When a Democrat says something like this – he's telling the "truth".

When a Republican says the same thing, he's a "racist".

Democrats are "progressive tolerants" when you belong to their club. But if you belong to a different club – different rules apply.

Now... let's get back to defending Joe Biden and telling everyone how "ok" it is to blame low education scores on the color of the children's skin.

spoken like a true intellectual person. Lets invest every cent that any nonblack or latino makes and invest in them. that way all the poor white kids which there are plenty of can say "what about me, arent we victims too." I was a teacher in a urban mostly black and latino school in houston. It was a brand new school, new books, new science equipment etc. Do you think the kids gave a crap. no. Do you think the parents cared. nope. They were to busy telling there kids not to listen to me because "I didnt have the (black)kids best intentions in my heart." Do you think that kid will ever listen to what I would teach. Nope. So this desparity in education crap needs to stop. Urban kids are to focused on being rappers, and cant be happy with just being middle class, and their parents are to busy teaching entitlement. If you cant take care of youself dont be surprised if noone else will either.

james you missing my point u just said it your self,parents dont encourage their kids the way they are suppose to the reason being? the things i mentioned above .poverty ,racisim etc.look at how black people dominate sports in america,the reason being sky is the limit, if that sort of atmosphere existed in all walks of life thing would be different. you one of those fox who say we are all equal blacks and whites knowing very well thats not the case,stop cheating yourself,

I agree with Bill Cosby and yes he was shouted down by other Poverty Pimps (you know who) that make their living off of instilling victimhood in African Americans.

James Brown said it best..."I DON'T WANT NOBODY TO GIVE ME NOTHING...OPEN UP THE DOOR, I'LL GET IT MYSELF!"

I dont think i need to go any further with your post Its clearly you were incorrect in your information but i suspect that is nothing new.

Sen. Biden is the most moderate and thoughtful person on foreign policy and I would vote for him over most of the Republican candidates. I just wish his political savvy was a little more and he'd watch his tongue better so he can at least get elected.
