'Tone-Deaf': 'Senile' Joe Biden Ridiculed for Calling Black Children 'Colored Kids' During His First Speech Since Leaving Office

Joe Biden referred to Black children as 'colored kids.'
Former President Joe Biden was ridiculed after giving his first speech since leaving office at the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) conference in Chicago.
During the event, he referred to Black children as "colored kids," harkening back to the era of segregation.

Joe Biden spoke at the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled conference in Chicago.
The 82-year-old former commander-in-chief used the outdated and offensive term during an anecdote where he talked about his childhood.
He mentioned how he moved from Scranton, Penn., to Wilmington, Del., and noted that before his family relocated to the new state, he’d "never seen hardly any Black people."
"I was only going in fourth grade. And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called colored kids, on a bus go by — they never turned right to go to Claymont High School," he told the crowd at the event as he recalled his mother driving him to Catholic school in Wilmington.
Biden claimed that learning that Black children were not allowed to attend public school with white students "sparked my sense of outrage as a kid."
Several vocal critics took to social media to call out the ex-president for using the outdated term during his speech, calling him "senile" and "a national disgrace."
One MAGA supporter on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a clip of Biden's comments and wrote: "This isn’t just tone-deaf — we’ve seen your track record, Joe — and you’ve been saying this kind of stuff for decades."
Another X user commented: "Colored? Is he describing a box of crayons? What a disgrace to our great nation. The man is a racist, his record shows it."
A third person asked: "Where is his conservatorship?"
