NYT Reports Biden Said The Problem With Black Communities Is “Parents Can’t Read or Write Themselves”

Say it ain’t so, Joe!

The former VP shocked a group of black mayors in 2019 when he said the problem with their communities is that the “parents can’t read or write themselves.”

However, it wasn’t until Thursday, February 13, 2020, that the New York Times finally reported on the story.

According to the New York Times:

Mr. Biden has caused some of his own problems. During a private meeting with prominent black mayors in Georgia last year, according to three people with direct knowledge of the gathering, he caused a stir when answering a question about education reform. Mr. Biden said one problem black communities face is that the “parents can’t read or write themselves,” a remark that shocked and frustrated many in the close-knit group.

In a statement, Mr. Biden’s campaign said he was seeking to reference his own experience.

“The Vice President regularly talks about how his father’s experience has shaped the way he feels about and views the relationship between parents and their children’s learning,” the statement said.

As he works to shore up his support here, Mr. Biden must rely on components of his campaign that were never the strongest. Mr. Biden’s fund-raising organization, for instance, was never robust in South Carolina and throughout areas of the South with heavy black populations.

After poor showing in Iowa and New Hampshire, it is clearer than ever that Biden needs strong support among black voters to do well on Super Tuesday.

There are signs that these self-created problems will come home to roost for Biden in South Carolina.
