    A bit clickbaity.

    Reminiscing about his childhood in the Pennsylvania city on Tuesday, Biden said, “I remember pulling in, pulling into the parking lot and I had never seen– I had never seen hardly any Black people in Scranton at the time, and I was only going on fourth grade, and I remember seeing the kids going by, at the time called colored kids, on a bus going by.”

    He recalled, “They never turned right to go to the Claymont High School. I wondered why, asked my mom, ‘Why?’ She said in Delaware they’re not allowed to go to school, in public school, with white kids.”

    Emphasis mine. He was trying to make a point about how they were treated differently.
