Former Vice President Joe Biden attacked “systemic racism†in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday, as he described his campaign proposals to address racial inequality as part of his “Build Back Better†plan for America.
Biden took up the “systemic racism†mantra that has become ubiquitous on the left, and which has featured in protests during the nationwide protests that erupted after the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The former vice president proposed expanding federal targets for “contractors and subcontractors of color†to 15% (from 5%). He pledged “hundreds of billions of dollars†for infrastructure in black communities, and a “new small business opportunity fund†to promote investment in “black and brown small businesses.â€
Biden also spoke about his proposals for criminal justice reform, something President Donald Trump has made a focus — and a sharp reversal of Biden’s support for the tough approach he had referred to recently as the “1994 Biden Crime Bill.â€
