    Joe Biden Is More Racist Than Republicans

    "Americans can't distinguish "between a South Korean and someone from
    Beijing." - Joe Biden

    Yup... they all look alike, Joe.

    Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden Bragged About His Ability to Work With Racists

    Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden Brags About a Segregationist Democrat Not Calling Him "Boy" Like He Did Others

    Used Racist Term "Roaches" to Describe Black Kids Who Felt His Hairy Legs

    Praised Democrat Segregationist Sen. John Stennis(D) as "Man of Character"

    "Segregation Is Good for Black People" - Joe Biden

    "(The) Democrat Party Needs More People Like Racist Democrat Governor George Wallace." - Joe Biden

    Gave Speech About What's "Good for the Negro"

    "... if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black..." - Joe Biden

    "If my opponent wins, they're going to put y'all back in chains." - Joe Biden

    Funny, since Democrats have been KEEPING Blacks "in chains" for 60 years, and PUT them there, in the first place. Lincoln and Frederick Douglas and H.R. Revels, Benjamin S. Turner, Josiah T. Walls, Joseph H. Rainey, Robert C. De Large, Jefferson H. Long, R. Brown Elliot were ALL Republicans

    Jungle: Slang term for a city or urban area.

    "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." - Joe Biden

    Only people from India can work at 7-11?

    "I do not buy the concept, popular in the '60s, which said, "We have suppressed the black man for 300 years." - Joe Biden

    Seems that THAT'S exactly what Democrats have been saying, ever since they found out that they could buy their votes so easily with free shit.

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean." - Joe Biden

    What... they're not SUPPOSED to be?
