I'm really sorry, but we all understand what this means, and this comes across as needless apologism for Biden.
Very few supporters of racism, or segregation deal with the core issue at hand. They find bits around the edges that are more palatable to chip away at. You see it with the anti-abortion lot here too. They know they can't win the debate on abortion, so they chip away at term limits, bit by bit. They have the same intention (to end abortion) but there's a dishonesty to their objective as it's cloaked.
Brown V Board of Education was a key moment in US history, and a key moment in the dismantling of segregationism. Schooling was of course a very important and significant element of that (as much as water fountains, or toilets etc). If you side with the segregationists on the matter, essentially by finding a convenient loophole and giving political cover to their arguments, you are every bit as responsible for it as they are. In many ways you are more respnsible, as there is a dishonesty to your conduct.
Lets not whitewash people's behaviour here. There is a BLM campaign, that is rightly pointing out how deep racism runs, and ultimately how structural it is. Pretending that certain white men who played important roles in upholding the system should be absconded from this, on the basis of them either not really liking it, or not really understanding it is an insult to the black people who suffered under that system.
As he said himself, he had to work with the racist segregationists to get things done. Thats fine. But he has to own his decision and the understandable flak that comes with it now that he helped to soften and legitimise with cover about busing being unfair. It's nonsense.
