Said, \u2018They\u2019re not allowed to go to school with us here in Delaware.\u2019 And Milton wasn\u2019t what you might call the epicenter of desegregation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden is famously on the record of supporting the idea of segregating children by race and opposed public busing to integrate schools.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>From a 1975 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/politics\/joe-biden-embraced-segregation-in-1975-claiming-it-was-a-matter-of-black-pride\">interview<\/a> with National Public Radio:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I think the concept of busing \u2026 that we are going to integrate people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest, is a rejection of the whole movement of black pride, is a rejection of the entire black awareness concept, where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During his prayer breakfast speech, Biden also recalled working together with segregationists in the Democrat party.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19738970\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1238160061.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19738970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1238160061-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>U.S. President Joe Biden speaks at the 70th National Prayer Breakfast at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 3, 2022.
