An audio recording of Joseph Biden talking with notable civil rights figures was released. The controversy about the audio was his tone and general lack of solutions to critical problems. Biden stated that African Americans need to collaborate more with Hispanics. Following that he noted that the white population could be in the minority by 2040. The way Biden articulated that sounded more like some negative future event. There is a subtle racism that is present among Biden and certain factions of his supporters. The African American community has done more to protect the rights of various ethnic groups in America's history. Without the Immigration Act of 1965 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Asians and Latinos would not have the opportunities they have now. Biden's statements come off as condescending to civil rights groups who actively fight to improve race relations. He went on to blame the position of defund the police for the failure of the Democratic Party to win elections. Law enforcement get more funding compared to public education and infrastructure projects. This demonstrates a general lack of understanding of how poor allocation of resources will create sociological problems. Biden refuses to acknowledge that it is not African Americans and Latinos causing disunity in the country; it is a white population that wants to maintain dominance. A Biden presidency will not be dedicated to economic empowerment, fighting racism, or general reform. This is an indication that unconventional participation will have to be used to get the change the American public desires.
