Biden Talks About Detroit Women from ‘the Hood’

Speaking at an event at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Vice President Joe Biden made a reference to “the hood” when talking about women in inner-city Detroit.

Biden made the comment while sharing an anecdote about a career training program.

“They asked me to come by this program they had at a community college in the inner-city in Detroit,” Biden said. “And I walked in and — I think it was a 15-week program — and it was a group of women from the neighborhood. Or, from ‘the hood.'”

“The hood” is slang for “neighborhood,” and a general label for areas with high populations of low-income minorities.

Biden’s speech at the Chamber came just one day after he joked that being vice president is “a bitch.”
