From Toby Harnden's blog at the UK Daily Mail:
America’s first black governor has become the most senior Democrat to break ranks over Joe Biden’s "y’all in chains" comments, telling the Vice President: "Slavery is nothing to joke about."
Douglas Wilder, who was governor of Virginia from 1900 to 1994, told CNN that "'without question" Biden’s remarks in Danville, Virginia, "were appeals to race."
