Rapper Cardi B and former Vice President Joe Biden discussed issues including child care and race relations in a wide-ranging interview for Elle.
Cardi B noted her recent experience navigating child care since giving birth, also pointing out the decline in availability of after school programs.
Biden agreed, lamenting that as material conditions improved, people became less willing to pay taxes to maintain such programs.
“And that’s why this [notion that] ‘government is bad’ has been such a downer for things that really matter to you and me,†he added.
The rapper also said that she felt “like this country is so hurt, to the point that this year, a lot of people couldn’t even celebrate July 4th, because not everybody feels like an American. A lot of people feel like [they’re] not even part of America.â€
Black people, she said “want justice. We want to feel like Americans.â€
