OnPolitics: Let's look at how Biden and Trump feel about privilege
Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Thursday that he has benefited from the privileges of being white, a sentiment that differs from President Donald Trump, who has consistently denied the existence of systemic racism.
“Sure, I’ve benefited just because I don’t have to go through what my Black brothers and sisters have had to go through,” the former vice president told CNN’s Anderson Cooper during a televised town hall event in Pennsylvania.
Biden's response came after journalist Bob Woodward released several recorded interviews with Trump, including one where the president dismissed questions about benefiting from white privilege, saying Woodward had “drank the Kool-Aid.”
"Just listen to you. Wow," Trump scoffed at Woodward. "No, I don’t feel that at all."
