Joe Biden took advantage of the white privilege, and says he was also viewed with contempt due to growing up in Scranton and not attending Ivy League school

When asked whether he had benefited from the privilege of whites, Biden said he had not gone through what blacks suffered.

Biden said, “I definitely benefited just because I didn’t have to go through what my black brothers and sisters were.”

“We grew up here in Scranton, we got used to guys looking at us from below, looking at people looking at us and thinking we were suckers, looking at us and thinking we don’t, we are not equivalent to them, if you don’t have a college degree then you must be stupid, If you really can’t go to Ivy School. ”

He continued, “We are as good as everyone else, and the guys like Trump, who inherited everything and squandered what they inherited are the people that I’ve always had a problem with. Not the people who break their necks.”

Biden is committed to accept the results of the November elections.

Sure, full results. Biden said, “Count every vote.” “Could any of you historians think of any president who said early on,“ I’m not sure I’ll accept the election results, it stops, ”what happened to us, that’s not Who we are, this is not America. ”

This comes after Hillary Clinton urged Biden not to waive the election “under any circumstances” and leaked Democratic strategy sessions revealed that former Clinton employee John Podesta, who played Biden, indicated that the West Coast would succeed in the union if Trump wins.
