I think the anger over the Harris- Biden exchange is not because she asked the question

113. Here is my question in regard to busing:

I am in my 80's and have a couple of questions. Firstly wasn't the objective of busing to help both the minorities and majorities get a better understanding of the overwhelming things that we share in common? The busing went both ways whites to black communities and blacks to whites. There was an adverse reaction basically by the racist whites who started their own white only private schools. I have three children who are my nephews and a niece who were bussed and they became close friends with a couple of kids at the school where they were bussed and are still friends. I asked them if they regretted their experience and both said that as far as they were concerned the only problem was the bus ride, but they concluded that it was a positive experience. They said that it removed the fear and reservations that they had about people of a different color and ethnicity. It seemed to me that Harris was portraying it as a horrible experience without any positives. I welcome any comments about other people's experiences.
