"Corn Pop"

[Billy_Kinetta]

In some instances, Harriot wrote that Biden frames his story by explaining that he wanted to work at a black pool "in hopes of learning more about the black community." Biden also said he was popular among pool-goers, because most of them hadn't talked to a white person before.



A likely story. In 1962, segregation was still the rule. No white kid would have been interested in working a black pool.

Joe Biden's story of confronting a gang leader named 'Corn Pop' while working as a lifeguard in 1962 draws skepticism

IN 1962 he would have been thrown out of an all black pool.. Its pure BS..

Considering Bidens attachment to the KLAN of the time, working at an all black pool would have had sever consequences to his public profile and political aspirations as a democrat. The KLAN and the Democrat hierarchy were one and the same at that time.

Wonder if Corn Pop is related to Obama's cousin Pookie...

Were there any black pools in 1962?
I thought they were called ponds.

What the heck is he trying to say with this story? He isn't interviewing for bouncer, he's running for President.

Biden has clearly lost his mind.

He's trying to varnish his down to earth everyman credentials but he doesn't know that the democrat party has nothing but contempt for regular people.

Maybe Black people had never talked to a white man in Obama's home town in Kenya but Delaware?
