AFRICAN AMERICANS/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN: “I think through this COVID crisis and the mishandling by the president in this, the phenomenal negative impact on the black community, how it has increased three times as many people have gotten COVID-19, the disease, the virus…
And so, I think that this is sort of, the band-aid’s been ripped off. We have to deal with this. This is an opportunity to take something horrible that’s happened and remind ourselves who we are and who we say we are. And the vast majority of the American people are decent, honorable and they want to change. Just as the majority of the police officers are not bad cops. But you have to deal with this systemic racism that continues to exist in this country.
And it’s overwhelmingly in everybody’s interest that it be done. No matter what your background. No matter what your circumstance.”
