Biden: "I don't think the American people are racist"

In an interview that aired Friday on NBC's “Today,” Biden was asked about Scott’s comments and was specifically pressed on if he felt Americans are racist. “No, I don’t think the American people are racist,” Biden said. “But I think after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the 8 ball in terms of educations, health, in terms of opportunity.” “I don’t think America is racist, but I think the overhang from all the Jim Crow and before that, slavery, had a cost and we have to deal with it.”
