Disgraced former President Joe Biden inadvertently revealed how he really feels about black people during his speech at Jesse Jackson’s funeral, yet another of the gaffes that he’s famous for.
Biden was among the speakers at the memorial service for the civil rights activist who was laid to rest on Friday in Chicago after passing away last month at 84-years old, a Democrat icon whose political and cultural influence spanned generations.
Like his former boss, Barack Obama, Biden used his speech for unseemly sniping at President Donald J. Trump, but it was his comment that he was “smarter” than the mostly black crowd that drew attention.

Biden made the telling remark while regaling the audience with tales of his childhood stutter, which has often been used to defend his mental misfires.
“If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” the geriatric Democrat said. “But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.”
“Oh, really? I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” Biden added. “But all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small.”
X users reacted to Biden’s remarks, with some pointing out how racist they sounded and others wondering why the senile old fool is still being allowed within six feet of a microphone.
It’s so weird watching the real racists out themselves constantly.

I can’t believe they’re still letting him out in public.

And Biden said this in front of a mostly BLACK audience.

Why does he have to embarrass himself every time he gets in front of a microphone?

Probably one of the most racist person that’s been in power since David Duke.

Later in his speech, Biden got back on course with his pandering when he brought up former South African President Nelson Mandela and predicted that the “Dark Continent” would soon be the world’s largest.
“I remember telling Jesse that I knew, I knew a guy in South Africa,” he said. “I was going to go see, name is Nelson Mandela. And, I’m Jesse, saying, how are you going? You guys actually see him, by the way? You know, the continent of Africa is going to be the largest continent in the world in terms of population of the year 2050, the largest in the entire world. Watch, man. Watch.”
Biden’s comments come after 2028 Democrat frontrunner Gavin Newsom made a similar slip during a conversation with Atlanta’s black Democrat mayor Andre Dickens, seeming to suggest that black people are dumb.
The California governor was promoting his new book, “Young Man in a Hurry,” when his attempt to pander to the critical demographic by talking about his alleged dyslexia – his version of Joe’s stutter – went badly amiss.

“I’m not trying to impress you, I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you. I’m not better than you.’ I’m a 960 SAT guy,” Newsom said.
“And I’m not trying to offend anyone,” the governor continued. “I’m not trying to act all there if you got 940 … You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.”
