It's not only the era that's significant, but the facts disprove the lies told by right-wingers.But "racial jungle" has been exacerbated (plus there's a white one now) by Trump and the GQP.
Biden was opposed to forced busing not because he's a racist, not because whites were opposed to it, but because white and black families were opposed to it. Biden's constituents were opposed to forced busing. Biden was doing his job, regardless of how inarticulate his comments have been.
A racist is opposed to all busing, not just forced busing. Biden had no issue with communities who agreed to the practice.
You sayin' you're against your party's efforts?
Also, you sound like a fringe progressive excoriating a 60 year old movie for not being woke. Those comments by Biden were made 45 years ago where situations and speech were much different and most definitely unwoke. Would All in the Family make it today? Trump has said/posted as bad and worse in the last few weeks.
Let's also not forget Trump's call for the death penalty because of the Central Park 5 case. They were later exonerated, but Trump would have had them dead according to his rhetoric and paid for ads in 1989. I could maybe understand his anger at the time, but now, he still refuses to apologize or acknowledge his horrific error. We're left to assume he apparently would still like to see them executed.
